Evil Elvis Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 (edited) I zeroed my ziess 8x56 yesterday at 100 yards and managed to put 4 rounds together and one sitting half an inch away...to say I was pleased was an under statement. HOWEVER as its so good at grabbing the light, while lamping I was being dazzled and whited out by the lamp Does anyone have or know where i can get a 56mm sunshade for one? I can get one from the states but it doubles the cost with postage!!! Or does anyonre know if any other 56mm shade will fit it?

garyb Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Are you lamping with it attached to the scope, or with someone else Bazza? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the same problem with my Swaro when lamping out the window of a truck (the lamp was roof mounted)and a sun shade solved this.... Not sure what it's like in your local gunshop but ours has a box full of sunshades and i think the threads of the differnt sized scopes are similar.

Evil Elvis Posted March 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 the lamp is as far back as it will go on my scope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyb Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 It's probably the light reflecting off the rear of the mod then... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
