You definitely need a lens shade when shooting in the sunlight! This makes me focus better with a clearer picture when aiming! A must have if you're a serious shooter!

Protects my Lens

I am a photographer and like the idea that this is added protection for the optic. However, I now need a new scope cover. I would like it if the pages for the Lens Shades included a recommend scope cover. To take away the mystery of what size to buy.

Sturdy and easy to screw

Sturdy and easy to screw on. Hasn't loosened on its own in any way. Would like to see more of a seamless transition from the end of the scope to where it meets the shade to make it look more like it's one solid piece overall. But I'm just an aesthetic person and it's not that big of a deal.

About Leupold Lens Shade

FEATURED REVIEWS

Worth The Expense

By Beerboy

The finish matched the VX-Freedom optic that I put it on perfectly. It threaded into the scope without an issue and the Leupold flip up cap threaded into it just as well. With the shade on the front cap is moved forward to the perfect position to open it easily with your thumb while gripping the rifle ready to fire. I also like that the caps don't make contact with the scope when opened but can be pushed flat and out of your line of sight silently if needed.

Solid

By Ricky

What is there to say about this Lens Shade. It is a solid unit. No issues to date. I attached this shade on the VX-3i LRP 6.5-20x50mm (30mm) Side Focus MOA FFP. when I first purchased it and have yet to find a reason to take it off. The shade has not loosened up under recoil.
