Rifle Scopes Ocular shade/ eye relieve rubber shade

[Ratnik]

Question to you all:

Was a very sunny day at the range today and I kept getting lots of glare in my Kahles K624i. I did have a objective bell sunshade on and a baseball cap on and it helped, but didn't eliminate the glare issue. Covering the space between my eye and ocular with my hands seemed to fix the issue.
So Why doesnt anyone use these anymore?

Because this isn’t ARf.....

Im not sure, I used to think that I wouldnt like having to put my face up against something but after having one on my thermal for a few years now I really dont mind it. I know its to keep the screen from illuminating the whole world at night but think it helps to shoulder the rifle correctly/consistently in the dark as well. I can only assume that it would help with your vision being washed out with the sun shining straight in your face at sunset.

One of these helps, bill is usually right at the back of the scope in proper eye relief.

Come shoot one of our local matches. They start early in the morning and first targets are always into the rising sun. That ball cap alone would not cut it. A large brim goonie helps a bit, but best is a shemagh/towel draped over your head and the ocular of your scope. Even then, and with a sunshade, you will get some washout. That is part of the challenge on those stages and is intentional.

And when it is not bright and sunny, it will be foggy...lol.

In these circumstances shemagh/towel is handy.
I've experienced some of the same kind of match directors sense of humor.
