Most Helpful Positive Review Good product
My only gripe is that the sunshade doesn't have the same outer diameter as the scope but it doesn't affect the usability at all Pros: Fits well Cons: OD slightly smaller than the scope
Most Helpful Negative Review Vortex 50mm viper sunshade
Ordered my Vortex Viper 6.5x20x50 scope and sunshade at the same time. Scope arrived promptly as expected but sunshade was not available and back ordered for 2 months.

Vortex Viper Sunshade

by Dan, from VA, United States Written on June 23, 2023
Fast service! Made my Hart smokeless muzzleloader rig look much sharper. It seems I’m always looking into the sun while getting a shot and this scope really helps to mitigate that. Make sure you double check the objective size on the vortex scopes before ordering.
Pros:
  • great customer service
Cons:
  • None
Would recommend: Yes

Vortex 50mm sunshade.

by Londbeard, from TN, United States Written on September 21, 2018
Its Vortex. Lifetime, no question asked warranty.what more do you want? One thing though. This was for a 6.5-20×50 no sunshade included, my other one is 4-16×44 & it came with a sunshade.but the later did cost $20 more so maybe that's the difference. Anyway, great products.

by ANGEL, from AZ, United States Written on June 14, 2018
Optics Planet's website was extremely easy to navigate.... Check out was simple and fast. Received my sun shades in a very reasonable time. Fit was right on. I live in Arizona,lot of sun. These sun shades are made of good quality material. Very easy to install. Matched my Vortex Viper scope with no color shade difference no issues... My scope is now complete. Vortex sun shade does what it's intended to do and looks great. Will buy more as needed,,,,
Pros:
  • does the job intended
Cons:
  • No Cons
Best Used for:
  • blocking reflection

target shooting use is fine

by swaggins, Verified Owner from SC, United States Written on January 13, 2018
Got this for target shooting and works well. Just wish it was the same size as the scope Bell but works for what I needed it to do. Don’t think you will like it if you are picky but matches up finish wise with the scope
Pros:
  • works and functions
Cons:
  • smaller than expected
Would recommend: Yes

Poor attention to details by Vortex

by Dale Hickman, Verified Owner from TX, United States Written on March 30, 2017
This shade will do what it was intended for, block the sun, but the Vortex labeling on the scope doesn't line up when tight and it's diameter is smaller than the 50 mm housing of the scope. So if you want to be pissed off everytime you pick up your rifle, buy this sun shade. The leadership at Vortex has to be extremely disappointed at their efforts here or they just plain dont care. This is my first Vortex product and will be my last. To many other choices to put up with this poor design. If they can't get this right what else are they missing.

Ok, but not great

by Jordan, from TN, United States Written on February 8, 2017
I would like to reiterate what most have said about this sunshade. Any issues that I have with the shade are purely aesthetic. The outside diameter of the 44mm shade on my 6.5-20x50 Vortex Viper doesn't line up like my Leupold shades do on L's scopes. The shade is slightly off on the color, both are matte, but it is slightly off. The Vortex etching isn't even visible on mine. It's completely facing the barrel. Also, it is not threaded at the end to allow for stacking of more shades should that be something you desire. I would still recommend this product bc it functions as it should and seems to be well made, but my guess is that you could fine a shade that matches perfectly and costs the same or cheaper if you try.
