I have a Simmons 44 Mag 4x12x44mm AO and was wondering if there are any sunshades that will fit this model.  The one made by Simmons does not fit the 4x12 (too small).  Does Burris or maybe Nikon make a sunshade that will fit?  Thanks.

I took one of our 4-12x44 mags off the shelf and one of the Simmons sun shades we sell and it screwed to it just fine.

 

Maybe yours is a different production run.  Burris and or Nikon shades do not fit.

Chris,

 

I had tried the Simmons sun shade before and it didn't fit.  I believe my scope was made in the Phillipines.  I thought it would have fit since the 4x12 and 6.5x20 supposedly have the same objective bell diameter.  I also called Simmons and they said they didn't make a sun shade for the 4x12 44 mag.  Maybe I'll have to try again and see if it fits.  Thanks for checking.
