What can I say I had a 30-30 wiht a steel but plate that was vicious and I have no problem wiht my .375 H& H the shape of the stock and weight can make a difference.

I had exact opposite problem with ar-15. it was explained to me with right twisted or rifling the recoil will actually tighten the shade which was my case. before using a adhesive you might try a strap wrench.just a thought

I've have read about the SS sunshade's not locking up tight, but I'll be damned if mine ever loosened.
I like the teflon tape suggestion too.

I've used sun shades on my Swaro's and Leupold's many times over. The
shades have never loosened, they actually seem to tighten much like what
coyote95 explained. I have no experience with the SS or it's sun shade.

They need to make them like the oil cap on my Dodge truck. I can NEVER get that off when I need a quart of oil. I need a pit crew!!

I don't know if all SS shades are like that but mine would not stay on when i had it on the 16x.....even tried it on the 10x and no dice with the recoil form the 308. I mic'ed the outside diameter of the threads on the shade and the inside of the thread of hte scopes and was a few hundreds off......either way that teflon did the trick so i didn't worry anymore with it.

loctite purple or green might be an option as well. http://www.midwayusa.com/Search/#loctite____-_1-2-4_8-16-32 |

I have a blizzard flip up over the ARD on my SS 10x42 HD. I've never noticed it coming loose, but I guess if it is turning it won't matter as the slip fit lense cap will keep it. Too much horrible grit here in AZ to not have caps. I guess if you are talking about a tube sunshade, then my method won't help.
Also, at least on my cheap gear, I tend to wrap most things with baseball bat grip tape to reduce shine and help keep the veil in place. That would certainly work with a tube shade. |
