Scope Sun Shades

I had a situation this week where I could not get a bead on a doe as I had flare out in my scope due to the sun being low. Does anyone know of a simple, cheap universal scope shade that I can fit onto my nikon titanium scope. It needs to be able to be removed easily and light, as I don't want it fitted ll the time and would not want any more weight to carry whilst stalking.
 
Simple, piece of stiff cardboard rolled up on scope and attach with plastic tape.

Otherwise buy some. 4" are best

Has anyone any experience with the honeycomb style affairs that fit inside the butler creek objective cap?? I have wondered about one of those for a while

i have one fitted to my scope its great in bright sun shine ??
 
Many thanks guys. I think I will try the Hawke option first and then move on from there if it does not work.
 
go carfull grim you will probely need to get one from nikon if thats the scope you have as they dont always fit one another i was given a mtc one to try on my s+b before i bought a actual s+b one and even tho they were both for a 50mm lense they didnt fit
 
The honeycomb filter reduces light entering the scope and is designed to stop reflections, ,,,in a counter sniper kind of way...


Better off with extension tubes to stop flare, imho.
 
The product literature for your scope should tell you what the objective filter thread size is. For my 50mm scopes it is a 52mm/0.75 pitch thread
 
Grim,

Might help if we knew what spec your scope is, Sportsman at Exeter had a selection of S/H sunshades when I was there last weekend. Worth a call.

For info a Leupold 50mm fits a Meopta 50mm which is strange as I would have thought the Meopta would be metric and Leupold imperial thread.

If you measure objective dia and thread size we might be able to assist.
