So I've been up grading my bolt action scopes lately... ( some of the new options like re-settable turrets ) have greatly improved convenience... as well as some of the new reticles ( I particularly like a couple Burris has out like the E-1 & C-4 Wind reticles are great improvements IMO )
one of my newest scopes ( I have 2 of them on the way right now ) is a Burris Predator Quest 4.5 - 14 with the E-1 reticle... these scopes come with ARD's...& will be my 1st scope with them... I understand their main use is to prevent reflection off the glass, so game doesn't get spooked
however I'm often looking for sun shades, as my shooting range runs east to west, & I'm often out in the evenings, & the sun setting can sure screw up sight picture at 300 yards... I've gotten a little longer shooting times with an extended sun shade...
since I've not played with ARD's a little reading I did on Midway's site ( particularly Sun Guard Killflash ARD's they say it'll kill the reflection like a 7" sun shade...
anyone that's played with them, know if they could help with my situation on the range with glare as I'm looking towards a setting sun ???
any comments either good or bad about ARD's ??? seems I'm getting 2 to play with, included with my new scopes, so I'll get to make my own opinions...
BTW... as part of my upgrades, I've bought 2 Nikon Prostaff 5 scopes, both 42 mm... I'm seeing ARD's & sun shades for for the Nikon Monarch 42mm anyone know if the sun shades for the 42 mm Monarch will fit on the 42 mm Prostaff 5's ??? I'd assume so, but hate to buy one & find out the thread pitch is different or ???
