Will the Hawke 62103 honeycomb sunshade fit my Hawke 40mm scope with an Adjustable Objective (AO) ring?

No, this specific model is only compatible with standard 40mm non-AO riflescopes from the 2015 collection onward. If you have an Adjustable Objective scope, you will need to purchase model SKU 62104 instead.

Can I still use Hawke metal flip-up lens covers while the 9mm honeycomb sunshade is attached?

No, the Hawke 62103 is incompatible with Hawke metal flip-up covers. The sunshade screws directly into the front objective threading, occupying the space where standard flip-up covers would normally mount.

How does the micro-honeycomb mesh perform in extreme Australian outback heat and bright daylight?

Machined from durable aluminium with a matte black finish, the 9mm deep grid excels in harsh outback conditions by eliminating blinding glare and lens reflections when shooting across bright open spaces. While it provides exceptional covert concealment against vermin, the mesh grid will introduce a minor reduction in total light transmission during extreme low-light transitions at dusk or dawn.

Does this passive optical accessory require any Australian electrical or RCM compliance certifications for use?

No, because the Hawke 62103 is a purely mechanical, non-electrical optical accessory, standard Australian electrical compliance mandates such as 240V compatibility, SAA approval, and RCM markings do not apply. It attaches directly to your riflescope and is fully unrestricted for commercial sale and use across all Australian states and territories.

40mm Killflash - Hawke 62103

The Hawke Honeycomb Sunshade 40mm (Model: 62103) is an ultra-compact anti-reflection device engineered for Hawke non-adjustable objective riflescopes. Featuring an internal micro-honeycomb mesh grid, this passive optical accessory stops sunlight from reflecting off the front objective lens, preventing forward flash signatures and eliminating target glare without the extended length of traditional cylindrical sunshades.

Key Features

Anti-Reflection Protection: Eliminates objective lens flash signatures and reduces stray ambient light and glare across bright terrain.
Ultra-Low Profile: Measures just 9 mm (0.35 in) in depth, minimising front-end rifle bulk and avoiding snag hazards in dense brush.
Durable Construction: Built from machined aluminium with a non-reflective matte black finish.
Full Calibre Recoil Rating: Matches the host optic's recoil tolerance, rated by Hawke for all firearm calibres and airguns when properly threaded.

Who is the Hawke Honeycomb Sunshade 40mm for?

Vermin control hunters — need covert concealment in open field conditions, utilising this riflescope honeycomb sunshade's micro-mesh design to stop forward objective lens reflections across a 40 mm optic without snagging brush.
Tactical shooters — require flash signature reduction without altering rifle balance, benefiting from this low-profile riflescope honeycomb sunshade adding only 9 mm of forward depth to the host scope.

Less suitable for: Hawke 40mm Adjustable Objective (AO) scopes, which require dedicated AO-threaded sunshades (SKU 62104), setups using Hawke metal flip-up covers, or low-light shooting requiring maximum light transmission where a standard open-aperture tube sunshade fits better.
