The Hawke Sunshade Objective 60mm (Model: 62013) is a precision-machined optical accessory designed to reduce glare and eliminate optical haze on compatible Hawke riflescopes. Constructed from lightweight anodised aluminium with a matte black finish, this passive accessory threads directly onto the scope's objective bell to block harsh, low-angle sunlight from striking the lens. By eliminating internal reflections and reticle washout, it helps maintain target contrast in bright conditions while preventing forward flash off the objective glass that could alert quarry.

Key Features

• Glare and Flare Suppression: Extends the scope housing to shade the large front lens from off-axis sunlight, preventing optical haze and preserving reticle visibility.
• Dual-Threaded Interface: Features precision screw threading at both the rear and front, enabling users to stack multiple sunshades for deeper shading or attach compatible metal flip-up lens covers directly to the front.
• Durable, Lightweight Construction: Machined from anodised aluminium weighing approximately 50 g, ensuring structural rigidity and recoil resistance without shifting rifle balance.
• Quarry Concealment: Shields the 60mm objective glass to eliminate direct external reflections that can signal shooter presence in the field.

• Finish: Matte black
• Attachment Type: Threaded screw-on (front and rear)

Who is the Hawke Sunshade Objective 60mm for?

• Long-range precision shooters — shields 60mm Hawke objective lenses with a 100 mm extension to maintain clear optical contrast and prevent target washout under bright ambient lighting.
• Open-country varmint and game hunters — eliminates forward flash across the 60 mm glass element while adding only 50 g to the rifle setup during bright daylight stalks.
• Benchrest and field target shooters — prevents severe reticle washout across long shot strings by using a dedicated 100 mm aluminium riflescope sunshade.

Less suitable for: Riflescopes with objective lens diameters other than 60mm (such as 24mm, 36mm, 40mm, 44mm, 50mm, or 56mm), pre-2015 Hawke models, Hawke Frontier 30 / Frontier 30 SF series, and XB/XB1 crossbow scopes, which require dedicated-diameter sunshades or alternative mounting thread pitches; tight brush setups where adding 100 mm of overall length is impractical suit low-profile honeycomb anti-reflective devices (ARDs) better.
