The Hawke Sunshade Standard 50mm Objective (Model 62009) is a mechanical riflescope accessory engineered to eliminate glare, internal reflections, and optical washout caused by low-angle sunlight. Designed for post-2015 Hawke standard 50mm non-Adjustable Objective (non-AO) scopes—including Vantage and Endurance lines—this sunshade extends the objective housing by 100 mm. In addition to improving contrast in bright environments, it serves as a rigid forward barrier that shields the primary lens element from direct field impacts, dust, and rain without introducing optical vignetting.

Key Features

• Glare and Reflection Reduction: Shields the 50mm objective lens from stray ambient light and eliminates forward glass glint that can alert quarry.
• Dual-Ended Threading: Features an M52x0.75 thread pitch on both ends, allowing users to stack multiple 100 mm shades together or thread Hawke flip-up covers directly to the front rim.
• Physical Objective Protection: Provides a 100 mm forward buffer against tree branches, airborne debris, and lens impacts during field use.
• Passive Mechanical Build: Functions at 0x magnification with no electronic or battery requirements, retaining zero across standard firearm calibres and heavy recoil platforms.

Who is the Hawke Sunshade Standard 50mm Objective for?

• Open paddock and outback pest control shooters — requires a 100 mm optical extension to eliminate bright midday sun washout and stray light reflections on compatible 50 mm objective bells across harsh, open-terrain lighting.
• Hunters targeting wary game in high-glare daytime conditions — requires an M52x0.75 threaded sunshade to eliminate forward lens glint off the 50 mm glass element, preventing game from spotting reflections at long distances.

Less suitable for: Riflescopes featuring 50mm adjustable objective bells, which require a dedicated 50mm AO sunshade due to differing outer thread diameters, as well as Frontier 30 series, XB/XB1 crossbow scopes, pre-2015 Sidewinder, or pre-2019 Frontier models that require dedicated thread adaptors. Shooters seeking a compact profile under 10 mm in depth should choose a low-profile honeycomb killflash instead.
