Redfield 44mm sunshade

[Bobthenailer]

I have a Redfield 12x44 side focus scope. Anyone know where I might find a sunshade to fit this objective.

bobthenailer: Again, your post about the Redfield 12x Side Focus caught my eye, especially when you mentioned a "sun-shade". I just looked closely at mine,,serial# L14022), and it appears mounting a screw-in sunshade would not be possible, since there are no female threads available to accept the male thread on a sunshade. The threads that hold in the objective lens are a larger diameter than the actual I.D. at the end of the bell. Did they have sunshades available with higher/lower serial numbers? fdshuster, NRA Life since 1965, Varmint Hunters Assoc., Distinguished Pistol 1982

"Me again"; if you are interested, send me your e-mail address and I can send you dimensions and photo attachments of my Redfield 12x side focus, for both our comparisons. fdshuster@hotmail.com

Thanks for the reply, I didn't know if there was an aftermarket shade that would adapt. This scope will be fit to a Dragunov for target shooting and just plain fun, I need to find the time to get busy with it.
