Why i don’t trust product reviews - Leupold ScopeSmith Lens Shade for Adjustable Objective Rifle Scopes

In searching for a sunshade for my Leupold Mark AR 3-9x40mm scope I came across this product. This is not a slant on OpticsPlanet as they are the best company around for the products that I search for. This is a direct critique of people who don’t read product descriptions and then feel compelled to write bad reviews trashing the product as if it isn’t their fault. With regards to the three negative reviews on this product, it clearly states in the description that these lens shades ARE MATTE BLACK. Don’t order this if you have a gloss finish scope. It’s a simple as that. While my scope finish is a tad shinier than the sunshade, it’s still matte and looks fine. For goodness sake, if you are so concerned that it isn’t 100% the exact shade of color put some oil on it to shine it up, or return it. SECONDLY I have a MARK AR scope. The 40mm POST 2004 lens shade fits perfectly, absolutely perfectly. No flare or offset. So don’t listen to “Andrew from NH” he probably bought the wrong one because he didn’t read the product description where it said “post 2004.” Lastly, to the person that got the defective sun shade. Just return it. Simple as that. No need to turn people away based on one outlier experience by writing a bad review. To make a long story short, do your reasearch, people. Buy the right product and try it out for yourself. If the majority of people had a positive experience, yours probably will be too. For me, this product is great and just as advertised in the description.
