The Hawke Sunshade Standard 36mm Objective (Model 62014) is a mechanical riflescope accessory engineered to eliminate optical glare and protect front lens elements. Constructed from high-grade aluminium with an anti-reflective matte black anodised finish, this 2-inch (50 mm) tubular shade threads directly onto compatible 36mm Hawke optics. By physically blocking off-axis, stray sunlight from entering the objective assembly, it prevents internal reflections, washed-out sight pictures, and forward-facing lens flash. It features a dual-threaded design with a male rear thread for scope attachment and a female front thread that supports stacking multiple units or mounting metal flip-up lens covers.

Key Features

• Off-Axis Glare Reduction: Extends forward by 50 mm (2 inches) to shield the objective glass from low-angle morning and late-afternoon sunlight, maintaining sight picture contrast.
• Modular Stackable Threading: Equipped with matching male rear and female front threads, allowing shooters to thread multiple sunshades together or attach compatible Hawke screw-in lens covers.
• Physical Lens Protection: Serves as an aluminium barrier against physical hazards, shielding the front optic from dust, rain droplets, and light brush debris.
• Passive Mechanical Build: Manufactured from lightweight, matte black anodised aluminium requiring zero electrical power or battery operation.

Technical Specifications

• Objective Lens Compatibility: 36 mm
• Overall Length: 2 inches (50 mm)
• Material: High-grade aluminium
• Finish: Anti-reflective matte black anodised
• Attachment Interface: Threaded (rear male thread, front female thread)
• Scope Compatibility: Hawke riflescopes with a 36mm objective from the 2015 collection onwards (such as the Hawke XB30 Compact 1.5–6×36 and 2–8×36)

Who is the Hawke Sunshade Standard 36mm Objective for?

• Australian pest control hunters — targeting rabbits and foxes under harsh ambient sunlight require the 50 mm (2-inch) forward extension of this riflescope sunshade to eliminate direct glare and prevent forward lens glint from alerting quarry.
• Field target shooters — shooting in bright morning or late-afternoon conditions benefit from how this 36mm riflescope sunshade blocks off-axis light angles to prevent washed-out sight pictures and preserve target contrast.

Less suitable for: Shooters using optics with objective sizes other than 36 mm (such as 24mm, 32mm, 40mm, or 50mm bells), pre-2015 Hawke models without dedicated adaptors, the Frontier 30 range, or XB/XB1 crossbow scopes; these setups require dedicated objective-matched sunshades, compact 9mm honeycomb killflash inserts, or model-specific thread adaptors.
