Hi all,
Thought I would reccomend these add ons for people using 50mm & 56mm objective S&B's. Scope shown is my Precision Hunter 4-16X50 (now called the Klassik 'Long Range').
First is the sunshade, having used these with other scopes and noted the advatages offered, cuts glare, reduces chance of water droplets or debris getting onto the lens. Takes a wee bit longer to clean the objective lens as you need to remove it first, but worth it IMHO. It's also threaded on both ends so the Tenebraex mounts without issue.
Next, the Tenebraex objective cover. This requires both the adapter and cap itself, but are on sale at the moment and can be had for under £60 delivered. Having used them on a PMII they are worth it at this price. Much better than anything out there and at this price it's a 'no brainer'.
Won't work for those who follow the misguided 'scope as low as possible' philosophy
as it required some clearance.
All purchased from Optics Warehouse who offered them at a good price and delivered quickly via Royal Mail.
Sunshade: Schmidt & Bender 50mm Sunshade
Adapter: Tenebraex Adapter Ring for Tenebraex Flip Up Objective Cover D50
Cap: Tenebraex Flip-up Objective Lens Cover D50 mm - BLACK (Without Mount Ring)
The 50mm sunshade is out of stock but the 56mm sunshade and lens cap + adapter are in stock too for those using that size. Schmidt & Bender Accessories
And for those interested, the picatinny accessory rail for a light or red dot is made by Era Tac and sourced from Alan Rhone (special order and stupid expensive!)
Hope this helps.
