RIFLE SCOPE SUN SHADES

A sunshade will improve the performance of whatever quality scope you use.

As the light in your scope is less than the surrounding light, by blocking out this light your eye will adjust to make maximum use of the light in your scope.
Rifle Scope fitting with Sunshade

They fit on to the objective end of the scope (if threaded).

We are only adding compatibility information, if we can match a sale to your email address.


To find a compatible sun shade for your scope, it's best to start by
measuring the diameter of your scopes front (objective) end.

The measurements are approximate, normally rounded up to the nearest millimetre.

Please contact us if you want to check a measurement.

Seven Black Metal Telescopic Rifle Scope Sunshades

Gun scope sunshade.

Reduces distractions from lamps, wind, dust and rain.

Still allows for the fitting of lens caps.

Matte black finished aluminium.


A new range designed to fit the majority of threaded objective lens telescopic scopes.

Significantly improves your view by reducing lens glare caused by direct light, reflections and heat shimmers.

As there are so many different scopes produced by many factories we can not guarantee they will fit your scope, but can offer a full refund if it wasn't to fit and then returned with the packaging.


Extra info;

All models are currently extendable.
The extendable models are threaded on the front, so can be extended if needed,
or fitted with a killflash or end thread protector.


  • ALPHA ~ fits most threaded 40mm objective lens scopes.
  • ETA ~ nothing specific.
  • THETA ~ nothing specific.
  • IOTA ~ similar fit the the ALPHA.

Also available similar diameter sunshades with built-in honeycomb killflash.

Size matches;

The Alpha fits the A model killflash and accepts our 47mm flip-up cover.

All this may change from batch to batch so please feel free to ask first.

Some reports back from our customers;

Please note that we are not able to test the following scopes, and customer feedback is sometimes contradictory, we cannot guarantee compatibility.

Especially as even with the same scope it can change from one years production to the next.

Very limited success in matching/fitting these sunshades or the killflashes to Hawke scopes, so search out their own brand of accessories.
