SOURCE: Rubber coating breaking down
Try it with rubbing alcohol first - just keep it away from the optics, and you may get lucky. The only thing that ever seems to work with these is an abrasive cream cleaner (jif/cif or similar) - you just have to use lots of cream and be careful not to polish the optics - unfortunately the stickiness will come back quicker than before though. I haven't tried myself, but i have heard that once you have carried out the cream cleaner routine, you can paint the unit - ask your hardware shop what sort of rubbery paints they have - ideally oil based and not acrylic. It wont last as long as the original finish or like quite as good, but it should stop the stickiness for a while at least. Try and keep your binoculars out of the sun - most of the stickiness is either caused by that, or contact with a damaging chemical such as most insect repellents, or petroleum products. Hope this helps :)

since some models change the size of the eyecaps they use ,your best bet is to take off the other side and mail to bushnell for a proper match

SOURCE: rubber coating has become sticky
try keeping it in a cooler place and the rubber should harden
however I would first check the box to see if it is supposed to be tacky which means it is supposed to be that way
Testimonial: "Thank you. As binoculars have been kept in their box in a drawer in a warm room for years your suggestion of keeping them cooler may well work. "

Hmm, you could try Armorall cleaner followed by Armorall. This is normally used on car dashes to clean them up.
