I m looking to do a little upgrading to my scope buy using a sunshade or anti reflection device. Although I may just use camo netting to cover the lense insted of the anti reflection device. Advice?

If You have a very high quality scope, You won´t need any of those devices for 99% of the use... On the range with a client´s scope we were not able to shoot without covering the scope with a big shield as the sun was in front of us. Then we used my Swarovski scope - absolutely NO problem... So...  | |||

Oh, there is a bit of a problem though, the range I m a member too is facing west. So normally when I m there there is a window of up to 2 hours where you are blind. Last time I was at the range I used a rolled up target around the end to act as a sun shield.  Now that rifle has been 100% customized! The opitics on it now is a Conquest 3-9X40 Ziess Disabled Vet(non-combat) - US Army NRA LIFE MEMBER Hunter, trapper, machinest, gamer, angler, and all around do it your selfer.

Oh I forgot to mention that the rifle is used for coyote hunting. Disabled Vet(non-combat) - US Army NRA LIFE MEMBER Hunter, trapper, machinest, gamer, angler, and all around do it your selfer.

For range work, if I can't find a factory made scope shade, I make them out of target paper, wrapping it around the objective bell, and with masking tape, fit it so it doesn't fall off. Some scopes I have do not have aftermarket sun shades, so I spend about 15 minuts making one right at the range. We have a period of the day when the sun is directly in front of the bench, and I can't shoot without some kind of shade over the objective. Leupold, Weaver, and Bushnell have aftermarket shades in different lengths, and I have them. But, for my Unertl and Mitchell scopes, I must make shades. | |||

I picked up a Nikon 40mm shade, I m sure I m going to have to mod it a little bit to fit my Ziess. Last time I was at the range I forgot that normal role of duct tape in my pack basket. So I used the taper of the objective to hold it in place, I would have been screwed if there was much wind.
