I have never used a sunshade on a scope but I am looking to put one on a 4.5-14x40 vx3 on a hunting rifle
I have a few questions...
Length, there are 2.5 and 4 inch models, I know that the minimum length needs to be greater than the lens width 2.5 will achieve this but am I better to get the longer one?
I have read that FOV at low power can be affected, would this be noticeable at 4.5X and would the shorter one be better to avoid this issue?
I read that a sunshade will actually improve performance in low light, is this true?
Finally the tubb shooting hat with the flaps on the side, looks like a great idea too for avoiding glare?
