Has anyone seen this shade cover? If so do you know who makes them?

Thanks Moe0820

Looking for something just like this.

Maybe I’m in the minority, but I hate the look of giant screw on sunshades.

To satisfy my curiosity, why are people playing dress up with their scopes?

Is there any functional value, or is it all aesthetics?
 
The wrap works to protect too

Are peoples scopes that delicate? I've never seen or heard of any damage of consequence to a scope beyond pure negligence or a bad accident.

Or is this the equivalent of keeping your rifle in a sock in the safe so it doesn't get scratched?

The Koozies are used as a quick shade cover, that's it no fashion show, just fieldcraft
 
I wrap my scopes with this vet wrap stuff I found on Amazon. Works well and its cheap. You can do as little or as much as you want to.
 
Jam your rifle up to the mag well into a tight shooting port and you’ll eventually ding up your scope. I put vet wrap on my scopes to help prevent dings. And, it muffles noise if you bump the scope on a deer blind getting ready for a shot. Beer coozies are cheap. If it works, Rock on. Suppressor covers tend to be adjustable. If you’ve got one kicking around (maybe too worn for suppressor use), might as well try it out. And, if it doubles as a sun shade, all the better.
 
My company just released a soft sun shade we specifically designed for glassing/spotting with binos and spotters. Here in AZ, we hunt and glass into the shadows all day looking for tiny desert coues whitetail, so we are always looking into the sun.

It would fit on a rifle scope as well. One of the pics shows it rolled up. It only weighs 2.5 ounces. It’s Cordura with a foam to keep it stiff but still light and flexible.


Lemme know if you have questions. If someone wanted to tweak it, we are always interested in making improvements and new designs.

Reach out if you have a size and shape you want to try. I will do a prototype for you to try.

I think a generic prototype for a 56mm would be great. Not sure how you’d do it, but if you could make a slit to accommodate the scope cap opening, it would be even better.
