Sun Shade for scope

tido4570
I have an Alaskan Guide scope that I would like a 4" sun shade for. Does anyone know where I can find one? It is a 3.5-14x44
Thanks,
Steve

    You might try a "vintage" camera store...the kind that sells cameras that use real film. Some lens shades will also fit scopes.

    If it's an Alaskan guide Scope, then that would mean it is a Cabelas Scope. I would call Cabelas and see if they can help you.

    Steve,
    Whats the outside diameter? I have a couple of shades; one I think is 4", the other shorter, but I don't know what they're for.
    Email if you're interested. If you can use either you're welcome to them.

    Bushnell has a shade for their hi end scopes. You will have to call them to see if the threads are the same as your scope.

    I believe the inside diameter is 48mm and the outside is 54.66mm.
    I am interested!

    Are you askin about darkened lens cover (sunglasses?), or are you talkin' about the shade that extends outward from the lens, similar to a traffic light?

    Thanks, Joe

    I am talking about the shade that extends outward from the lens. About 4" outward.
    Thanks

    As Hadjii recommended, call one of the Cabelas stores and see if they can try one on their display/demo name brand (i.e., Leupold, Bushnell, etc ...) sun shades if it will fit on the Alaskan Guide scope.

    Good luck!

    Mine is a Leupold and it screws onto the inner diameter.
