Check out this one. They're 64mm, and they fit perfectly, and the price can't be beat... They come from China, and take a couple of weeks to arrive..

I'm assuming that if for the front of the scope, do you have a link to one for the eye piece? Thanks for the link.

Yes, it's for the front. Don't have any info for an eyepiece cap. The rubber boot seems to work for me all by itself..

Thank you. I'm not using the rubber boot, maybe I should just give it a try. I ordered the front cap from your link above and found a 53mm cap I ordered for the rear. I was only $1.53 so it shouldn't break the bank if it doesn't fit.

For rear, Butler Creek 34 Objective Flip Open Scope Cover 2.100". Not perfect but works.

Jonnie, the site is for all sizes of the caps. As I, indicated choose #48. My 5-20 has a 2.5” objective. #48 is 2.5”. If you have a 3-14 measure it. Hope this helps.

If you are interested in a killflash instead of a sunshade, I got one on ebay that is 56mm and fit my 3-14 4k perfectly. Only $8.22 but it took 24 days to deliver from hong Kong. Flip-up lens cover still fits over it nicely.

Captdoug, what is the effect on the day and night image with the kill flash?

Very little difference in the image. Very helpful as a sunshade.

I installed a butler cap on my 4k Pro 5-20 but the quality is worse.(It's getting a little bit worse.) If you've ever used a butler cap for 4k Pro 5-20, tell me what the quality is like. It seems to work only on 4k Pro3-14.

Osw420 I have found that a half inch hole in the center of the cap increases the focal length and resolution in daytime.. not much help at night. Usuing 5-20.

Can two comparison images be uploaded on a 50m scale? I'm going to shoot on the 50m scale, too. I mean the 4k Pro 5-20 model.

I can see improvement in the viewed image at distance. Have not compared image quality in pics or videos. Daytime use only. Not any notable improvement at twilight or NV.

Just received the Butler Creek flip open covers from Midway.
Objective cap is 48 OBJ, 2.5 inch [63.5 mm], fits snugly over the ATN supplied shade
Eye cap is 34 OBJ, 2.1 inch [53.3 mm] and fits well on the eyepiece.
Note these are not the caps with the built in red button, just the simple caps the you need to flip open.
Honestly, I wish ATN would just end all the malarkey and publish a simple 'these fit your scope' listing.
Could have saved all of us a bunch of trouble.

#48 Butler Creek fits perfect on either the 3-14, or the 5-20. Fits snug, opens and closes very nice. Just ordered 2 more for my other ATN scopes.

What are you guys doing that have the ABL attached? I would love to find something, thing of using a fishing reel cover. Thoughts?

Just mount the ABL behind the focus ring.

Just mount the ABL behind the focus ring. I don’t think you can it mounts on the screw in sunshade provided with the ABL the screws into the end of the scope past the focus ring.

Of course you can ATN even shows it in the mounting instructions.
I have mine there and MANY other people do also.....balances out the rifle a lot better and is a lot less stress on the scope. I have mine in the 12 oclock position and love it that way.
