Huskemaw Optics Sunshade — 42mm, Black | Model 2042SS | UPC 852679745078
Cut glare, boost contrast, and protect your objective glass with the Huskemaw Optics 42mm Sunshade. Purpose-built to thread onto select Huskemaw scopes with 42mm objectives, this lightweight black sunshade extends the objective bell to reduce stray light, lens flare, and ghosting—the culprits behind washed-out images and lost detail at dawn, midday, or snow-bright afternoons. Whether you’re ranging mule deer across reflective shale or picking coyotes out of winter stubble, the 2042SS helps your reticle and target pop with cleaner contrast and truer color.
Why Hunters & Precision Shooters Choose This 42mm Sunshade
Glare reduction for clearer shots: Extends the optic’s “tunnel” to block off-axis light that causes haze and flare—especially on bluebird days or over water, snow, and light-colored rock.
Improved contrast & edge definition: See antler tips, ear lines, and hide texture more clearly for better target ID and shot placement.
Lens protection in the field: Acts like a mini bumper for your objective lens against brush, snow, rain, and wind-blown grit.
Lightweight, field-tough build: Durable construction with a low-glare black exterior that resists reflections in bright conditions.
Factory-threaded fit: Designed to thread directly to compatible Huskemaw 42mm objective bells—no adapters, no wobble.
Quick on/off: Install in seconds to match changing light or pack space.
Where a Sunshade Makes the Difference
Dawn & dusk: Lower sun angles create lateral flare; the sunshade helps preserve low-light contrast so you can confirm details without cranking magnification.
High-altitude snow & open basins: Harsh specular reflections can wash out your reticle; the shade blocks stray light for a steadier sight picture.
Prairie & desert glare: Bright groundscapes create veiling glare—this shade significantly cuts it for more usable resolution.
Wet weather: Drops and spray on the outer edge are less likely to creep across your objective, keeping the central aperture clearer.
Compatibility
Optics: Select Huskemaw scopes with 42mm objective lenses that accept factory sunshade threads.
Not universal: Thread pitch and diameter are matched to Huskemaw 42mm models; other brands or sizes typically won’t fit.
Check before ordering: Verify your scope’s objective size (42mm) and that it has a threaded objective bell.
Fit Tip: If your scope cap or flip-up cover threads into the objective, it usually transfers to the end of the sunshade after installation.
Installation (Simple, Tool-Free)
Verify the objective bell is clean; remove any cap or cover.
Align the sunshade with the scope’s objective threads.
Hand-thread clockwise until snug—no tools needed.
Re-install your front cap or cover on the sunshade’s front if desired.
Pro Tip: In dusty or salty environments, add a very light film of silicone-safe thread lube to prevent galling. Do not over-tighten.
Field Care & Maintenance
Wipe exterior with a damp cloth after snow or rain; dry before storage.
Clean the inside lip occasionally to remove dust that can migrate onto the objective.
For travel, you can leave it installed or remove it to minimize length in the case.
