The Bushnell Sunshade for 50mm Rifle Scope is a straightforward solution for shooters dealing with glare, lens flare, and light reflection that compromise sight picture. Designed for 50mm objective lenses, this metal sunshade mounts directly to the scope's objective bell and blocks incident sunlight before it can reach the lens surface. Hunters working at dawn or dusk and long-range shooters contending with low-angle sun will find this accessory addresses a common optical problem without adding bulk or complexity to their setup.
Bushnell built this sunshade from lightweight metal, keeping total weight at just 0.09 lbs to avoid affecting rifle balance. The tool-free, hand-tightening attachment mechanism lets you install or remove the shade in seconds without special equipment or risking damage to your optic. At 2.4 x 2.4 x 2.75 inches, the sunshade extends the objective housing enough to block stray light while maintaining full access to elevation adjustments and leaving clearance for rail-mounted accessories. This design prevents internal lens reflections that degrade image contrast during bright conditions. For shooters running precision optics on hunting rifles or designated marksman platforms, the sunshade preserves the optical clarity you paid for.
Field conditions rarely cooperate with your shooting schedule. Whether you're glassing a ridgeline with morning sun in your face or tracking game through broken timber at golden hour, this sunshade keeps your reticle crisp and your target visible. The accessory also reduces signature by cutting lens glint—a practical consideration for tactical applications. Pair it with quality optics from our selection, and browse our shooting accessories for additional gear to complete your rifle setup.

This sunshade is designed specifically for rifle scopes with 50mm objective lenses. It mounts to the scope's objective bell using a hand-tightening mechanism. Verify your scope's objective diameter before ordering to ensure proper fit.
No tools are required. The Bushnell sunshade uses a hand-tightening attachment that lets you install or remove it in seconds. This design eliminates the risk of scratching your optic with tools and allows quick adjustments in the field.
No. The sunshade attaches to the objective bell and does not contact or stress the scope's internal components. Installation and removal will not cause zero shift. The lightweight 0.09 lb construction also prevents any balance issues that might affect shooting consistency.
The sunshade mounts forward on the objective bell and does not interfere with elevation turrets, windage adjustments, or parallax knobs. Rail-mounted accessories like bubble levels or angle indicators will also clear the sunshade without issue.
