Vortex Diamondback Sunshade

This specific sunshade is designed exclusively for the 4-12x40 (DBK-10025) and 3-9x40 (DBK-10023) Diamondback Tactical models. It will not fit other Diamondback or Vortex riflescope lines, so please verify your specific model number before purchasing.

The sunshade features a threaded design that screws directly into the objective bell of your compatible riflescope. This provides a secure, permanent-feeling attachment that won't wiggle or shift during use.

Yes, by extending the objective lens by 4 inches, it blocks stray light from hitting the glass at an angle. This significantly reduces glare and internal reflections, which helps maintain contrast and clarity when shooting in bright, direct sunlight.

The sunshade is constructed from lightweight aluminum with a black anodized finish, so it adds negligible weight to your setup. While it does extend the overall length of your scope by 4 inches, it is slim enough that it rarely interferes with standard scope caps or mounting clearances.

Most standard flip-up lens covers are designed to fit the objective bell of the scope itself, not the end of a sunshade. You will likely need to remove your current lens cover or purchase a larger diameter cover that fits the outer threading of the sunshade.
