53MM Lens Shade unavailable for a very long time.

What I am not real found about is the fact that this 53mm x 3" lens shade has not been available to me for some months now. I would be nice to know what you are doing about it on your end? Back ordered? How Long? Scheduled delivery now? When? Others 'not quite right' are available from you and not this?

It would be better if

It would be better if it had an opening / release button. The magnet is weak and it doesn't stay closed. It would also be better if it could open enough that it would stay flush against the scope instead of just being a "bunny" ear staying open to outline the scope.

Missing 3 inch - 52 mm Lens Shades

I quite like the 3 that I already have. However, I'm waiting unnecessarily long to get the 4th one for my 4th 52mm scope I bought! Always "Out of stock". Why? When are they scheduled to to be available? I'd like an answer please. It's been months now.

4 star review is because

4 star review is because the caps cannot flip down depending on the setting of magnification you have the scope set to. Front cover works great. But rear cover has me wondering if it would be better to not use flip up caps in the field.

Perfect fit on the scope and Leupold flip up scope covers screw in nicely. Got tired of sun glare causing loss of clarity. Perfect solution. Well made, exceptional quality.

Does what it needs to and keeps crap out. I also like that you can stow the flip up part all the way back so its parallel with the scope.

Great lens covers

By Rocky

By Buck B.

I was wondering how a single lens cover could be so expensive until I decided to see. Although very expensive, this is the smoothest lens cap on the market. It threads in so nice and with a flick the cap glides open.

The lens shade's matte black finish adds a stylish touch to your riflescope, making it an appealing choice for both hunters and outdoor enthusiasts. More than just a stylish accessory, this lens shade is designed to reduce glare and improve contrast, providing a clearer, more precise view in bright lighting conditions.

One of the standout features of this lens shade is its ability to be threaded together with other shades to create custom lengths. This means you can tailor the lens shade to fit your specific needs, ensuring optimal performance every time.

In summary, the Alumina 4" Lens Shade for post-2004 45mm competition series riflescopes is a protective, stylish, and high-quality accessory that enhances your shooting experience by reducing glare and improving contrast.
