maespant Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Hi I have seen on some guns (Usually USA) where they have a honeycomb arrangement and front flip up lens cap in one (Like a large Butler Creek) Would anyone know what they are called and if anyone in UK stocks them Many Thanks James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

achosenman Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 yes they do but a normal sunshade actually works without degrading your image ? Agreed, but if they don't make a sunshade for your scope, what then? ATB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tackb Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Agreed, but if they don't make a sunshade for your scope, what then? ATB Bog roll tube and some black an nasty tape ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
achosenman Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Bog roll tube and some black an nasty tape ? You could do as long as you have a small objective lens. I have doubts it could withstand being chucked in the back of a 4X4 as you bounce your way from area to area doing vermin control. I sometimes use one in bright sunlight. I agree it does make a tiny difference, but not enough to have any impact on your ability to get a good sight picture or negatively affect your ability to shoot. It will however let you shoot into sun which sods law states will be necessary. When the sun goes down I simply remove it…what could be simpler?

Foxshooter Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 They are also marketed under the name Killflash http://camouflage.com/ards-vars.php They are a hinderance for night shooting but have their worth in bright sun. Less bulky than a longer sunshade and possibly a bit cheaper depending on what scope you have. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
