Most Helpful Positive Review Long range shooting
Leupold makes great optics and their accessories work just as well. Their sun shade just screws into place in five seconds. No tools. No worries. I went to the range pulled off the front cap, screwed the shade on, popped the front cap back on, and back to business. I find with this shade the target becomes more clear to me.

Simple and functional

by JSL, Verified Owner from CO, United States Written on August 10, 2024
Works wonderfully. Provides excellent protection against sun and is unseen while on. The bikini cover that comes with the scope does work with these when installed. Be careful, they can easily cross thread if you're not cautious.
Pros:
  • Easy Mount
  • Works & fits great
Cons:
  • None
Best Used for:
  • hunting
  • competition

Why should you pay $50-$60 for a Lens Shade?

by Mark D, Verified Owner from OR, United States Written on July 19, 2024
The answer honestly is that you shouldn't. This lens shade is good quality, fits well, and works as intended. However, I cannot for the life of me figure out why it is so expensive ($60 retail). Yes, Leupold optics are high quality, made in the USA, and some of the best in the world. This Lens Shade is also made in the USA which is probably why it is so expensive, but it honestly doesn't feel any nicer than other brands made in China that are half the price.

Would I still buy it again? Yes. I just think the value for what your getting isn't there so that's why I knocked off a star. Aside from that, I'm very happy with my Mark 4HD and this sunshade.
Pros:
  • Quality
  • made in the usa
  • fitment
Cons:
  • cost
Would recommend: Yes

Loyal Leupold Customer

by Michael Hansing, Verified Owner from UT, United States Written on February 6, 2024
The product ordered speaks for itself. The service from Optics Planet was and traditionally good. The freighter carrying it is a pain in that they have a poor tracking system that leaves the end user mostly up in the dark on the status of the goods in shipment.

Avid varmint shooter

by Michael Hansing, Verified Owner from UT, United States Written on January 20, 2024
I always come to Optics Planet first for my Scope needs. Typically they have what I want and at the best price. Plus I get it within a couple days.
Why would I want to go anywhere else!
I have bought way over a half dozen Scopes with rings and Mounts in the past few years from them
