Barrel mirage shield?

[kris bassett]

I'm interested in the different designs everyone has for their barrel mirage shields.

Sign board and put whatever you want on it.

Make them at least 3" wide and a light color. A strip of white or buff colored target paper will work as well as anything unless fashion is a higher priority.

Scrap wide aluminum blinds suit me.

There is a man who makes carbon fiber shields, in colors. Searched alot of sites but I still can't find it.
Anybody else know where that is??

You'll have to ask if he still makes them in various colors - he may have stopped making them in various colors.

Those look great! I think I'll be ordering one! I do have a mount in mind so I can connect it to my night vision rail instead of my barrel.

Haven't used one in 3 years now. Bought a battery powered Ryobi Fan and that is better than any mirage shield. Nothing attached to barrel and it does double duty cooling me off while I'm shooting on a hot day.

I love the ones from Mike Nagel.

I use 3.5” wide aluminum vertical bind material. It comes in 6 foot lengths. I use 2 lengths. For good weather one is short to fit from the muzzle to just past the front of the scope. For rainy conditions I use a long piece to go from the muzzle back to the front of the action. This keeps the water out of the forend channel and action since I use a transparent plastic sheet over my scope and action.

I also turn the slight curve upward in good conditions and downward in rainy ones to drain the water off to either side of the stock

Has anyone tried what Tony Boyer said he uses in his book? He cuts 3in.strips 18ins. long from exray or in my case I'll use MRI film?
