Nikon 8053 Matte Sunshade for 40mm Scope

This fits perfectly on my Nikon 4-12x40, and the color matches the black matte of my scope perfectly. Does what it's intended to do, eliminate glare. Also keeps my lens clean from debris and accidental smudges. I used it in the a light rain once and it kept all water from reaching the lens. My only complaint, and a small one at that, is cosmetic. For some reason the design places the lettering at the top of the sunshade and not at the bottom. Stands out on an all black gun. I don't know if the threading would work out differently for other people, but I wish they would have left the lettering off all together. Overall, very satisfied with the sunshade. A bit on the expensive side ($27 when I bought it), but worth the money. If I buy another Prostaff I will buy another one of these shades to compliment it. ** UPDATE ** Bought another one of these shades for an identical Nikon scope and can confirm the lettering does not line up the same. On my new scope the lettering is off to one side instead of the top. The lettering annoys me because it reads "Made in Philippines". I guess that's better than "Made in China".

this would be a 5 star because fit and finish are awesome, however the outside diameter is slightly smaller than the scope (Nikon prostaff 40mm BDC) so the original scope lens covers had to be modified to work. Other than that it is a really nice looking sunshade

Fits and works great on my Nikon ProStaff. As I expected from Nikon, another great product! DO NOT BUY FROM OPTIC SALES!!! I felt Amazon should know what HORRIBLE SELLER and PEOPLE these guys (optic sales) are!! I placed an order with Optic Sales on amazon.com. I received a "leave feedback for this seller" BEFORE I ever got the item. I ordered the item the morning of March 22 as of April 5 I STILL had not gotten the order so I stated that in the feedback and I said if I did not get it in a few days I would be filling a complaint. My order FINALLY arrived April 8. I was contacted a day later by the seller Optic Sales asking me to remove the feedback. I told them "NO, what if a friend or relative was thinking of ordering from you. If I changed my feedback then they will think the transaction was fine and it was not! It would be wrong because the feedback was correct. So then the "Customer rep." tells me he would refund the cost of shipping. I told him it was not about money it was the fact that I had waited almost THREE 3 weeks for my order. I told him if he wants to make it right to send me another of the same item for free then I would remove the feedback. I knew they would not be willing to go that far, or at least I thought. Well at that point the seller told me "go screw yourself" YES actually told me to go SCREW MY SELF!!! I hung up on the fool and called "Optic Sales" back and told a different customer rep (a lady) what had taken place and that I would be letting Amazon know what a horrible seller they have representing Amazone.com, whom I love and order stuff all the time. I gave the customer rep lady at "Optic Sales" my phone number, name and address so she would know EXACTLY who was calling making the complaint. This was Amazon's reply.

I bought this to go on my 3-9x40 nikon scope as I get wonderful sun in the mornings facing my stand. This sun shade works magic. kills the glare through my scope and fits my 4-12x40 nikon prostaff scope as well so it can use it for several different guns. It makes my reticle stand out better with out the sun blinding me or fading my reticle out. I had to take the rear sight off my savage but it was well worth it.

can't believe a big shot company like Nikon would release these to the public, the Outside Diameter is NOT even the same as the O.D. of the scope, so you end up with this odd step between the shade and the scope - which also makes it difficult to size the scope cap (like from Butler Creek) which you would specify - so, one star, easy fix make the O.D. of the shade the same as the O.D. of the scope it is used on (really?) - and when you fix it , send me one - and I will give a favorable review - honestly - for 25 bucks? - you can't just make these right, have someone talk to the folks at Leupold, they get it right!!!!

Only gave 4 stars because it's got a different OD than the scope does. Works fine just looks kind of dumb.

Doesn't really do any good unless your close to the sun, but it does make the scope look "cooler" All in all it fits perfect to my Buckmaster Scope, as I love the scope itself!

Product fits as described for 40mm scopes. No issues and added greater visibility due to limiting glare on the scope. I highly recommend for the price. Just keep and eye out for it, because they go quickly.
