Rifle Scopes DO the new SS 5-20 have a sunshade?

[XTR]

...and if not here do we get them? Mine should be here in the next month or two and I don't believe they come with shades (or do they?)

Anyone know what fits?

They don't come with sunshades. SWFA is working on one. The Leupold 50MM sunshade fits, as does the 4" 50mm Weaver Super Slam sunshade.

Go here:
SWFA SS 5-20x50mm Picture thread page 4 shows several.

SWFA is not recommending any particular sunshade. They did comment to me that the Weaver and NF have been used successfully. I tried the Weaver and Millett and found both to fit the threads. However, the Millett was 1mm smaller in outside diameter so left a slight step. The Weaver fits correctly so I'll use one if nothing else is available.

It is something that is being put into the works. It's unclear when it will be available. But a sun shade has been a topic with significant discussion. The SS does not come with a sun shade. But like stated prior the Weaver SS does mate and is flush with the outside diameter of the bell.

The Weaver also has a finish that really seems like a perfect match. If there's a difference, it's really really hard to tell... the fit is perfect as well.

I've been lurking for sometime. The SS 5-20 thread typically. But decided to pull the trigger( no pun intended )and begin to contribute.

You guys know a significant amount.
