  The main thing you need to know is whether or not you have threads on the inside of the front of your scope. If you do, you can use nearly any manufacturers sun shades as long as the threads and size are the same. If you don't have threads, Leupold makes a product they call ARD, if memory serves it stands for Anti-reflection device. I don't remember which objective size it fits, or if they make more than one.
  
  It doesn't matter what you shoot, just shoot it well...

  Bambi is right on, if I were you, I'd call the manufacturer and see what they say. If your scope is threaded though, there should be plenty of makes that fit.

  If your 'scope has threads on the front inside ring, chances are it will take a standard (metric) lens shade.
  
  Take it to your nearest photo store that handles professional photo equipment and they can measure it and sell you a shade.
