Is there anything like a sunglass for scopes

[dgr416]

I just tried my 6×24 x50 mm 30mm Nikon at sunset .It has a almost blur out from looking towards where the sun had set .My 12x50 binos don't have this problem but the scope does . It was perfict infill after the sun set before dark .I hope I can fix this problem this is why I bought this scope to shoot out at 500 yards .Its probally letting in too much light .I didn't try the sun shade yet but hope it helps too .

Try the sunshade first. Then possibly shading it further with a quick fix. I'm sure some long range target guys have seen it and have a fix (PRS guys).

Burris used to have an iris one could constrict the amount of light. Maybe you could make a tube with a 1" or so hole in it to accomplish the same thing.

Tried the sun shade didbt help .These deer come out right in the sunset and it's the only place I can shoot them from .It did it on my Nikon 4×16×50 scope too and my brothers same scope .I have had flip caps that were yellow but that makes it brighter .

I don't have a March but I heard they can look almost directly at the setting sun and still see. I hope to get one next year.

How about a honeycomb ard?

You could also try stretching a piece of pantyhose over the front lens(held with an elastic band) and see if that cuts down on the amount of light from the setting sun
