I just purchased a 5-20x50 SWFA scope and was looking for a sunshade. I know that they offer one but was looking to see if I could find one locally. I need to know its thread pitch,
YES I know I could measure the inside threads of the scope with a pitch gauge but I don't wanna chance me accidentally scratching the obj lens by these strange forces that sometimes seem to plague me.
anyone got one they can measure?
I did throw caution to the wind by measuring the I.D. of the obj. housing, my findings are ~55.22mm
Thanks in advance

nobody?
I thought maybe someone would know this, found a thread where someone stated the Leupold 50mm one fits it but didnt give any technical info.

buffybuster nailed it:

For another $25 you could have the real deal along with the proper number of extra threads:

Now, go squeeze that nickle till the buffalo roars on the $25 difference... in a game that requires thousands of $ besides actual skills.

Yep, no mention in those to what the thread pitch is, not sure why the switchview throwlever was tossed in but it looks nice.
