Sun Shade for scope

[Troy1760]

I have been wanting to add a sun shade to my rifle since last years hunting was finished. I have tried pvc with straws. Straws worked very well. But the pvc doesnt hold up well.

I have a Bushnell Trophy series DOA 3x9 x 40mm. Does anyone know where i can find a sun shade that will tread into the scope?

http://www.amazon.com/Mueller-Optics-40mm-3-Inch-Sunshade/dp/B0040O43L4, i found this though some online searching, but im weary of ordering things that dont work.

Has anyone done this before, and if so how can i do it besides ordering another scope with sunshade. (keep in mind this is a bush gun/hunting rifle, the shade would be for precision shooting and well LCF)

Thanks for any advice

Try a camera shop.

I've heard Mueller sun shades usually fit, but I have never done it. Give it a try and let me know!

Humm, I might have a Bushnell sunshade at home. Not sure if it is 40mm or 42mm. Bought it for a scope but ended up selling the scope. I'll check tonight when I get home from work.

Just checked and the diameter at the threaded end is 49.95mm. I'm guessing this might be for a 42mm objective?
