The Hawke Honeycomb Sunshade 42mm (Model 62105) is an ultra-low-profile anti-reflective optical device engineered to eliminate lens flare and forward-facing glint. Designed specifically for compatible Hawke riflescopes with a 42 mm objective, this accessory uses a micro-honeycomb mesh grid to disrupt oblique incoming light when shooting directly toward low sun, bright water, or snow. Constructed from lightweight, high-grade aluminium with a matte black anti-reflective finish, it screws directly into the objective bell without adding noticeable weight or forward bulk to the firearm setup.

Key Features

• Killflash Anti-Glare Design: Utilises an integrated micro-honeycomb grid to stop sunlight reflection and internal lens flare while preventing quarry-spooking front-lens glint.
• Ultra-Low Profile: Measures just 9 mm in depth, providing the glare-reduction benefits of a traditional tube shade without adding 50 mm to 100 mm of forward length.
• Direct Mechanical Fit: Features precision M44.2 x 0.75 threading for direct, tool-free installation into compatible 42 mm scope bells.
• Durable Aluminium Construction: Machined from solid, high-grade aluminium with a matte black finish to maintain optic balance and withstand field use.

Who is the Hawke Honeycomb Sunshade 42mm for?

• Australian Pest Control Hunters — Eliminates reflective lens glint across open, high-glare paddocks when targeting foxes and rabbits, threading directly into 42 mm objectives via an M44.2 x 0.75 pitch without altering rifle balance.
• Stalking and Mobile Hunters — Adds covert anti-reflection capability to 42 mm riflescopes while adding only 9 mm of forward length, preventing the snagging hazards associated with full-length cylindrical sunshades in dense brush.

Less suitable for: Shooters requiring flip-up lens covers, scopes with objective sizes other than 42 mm, or incompatible models (pre-2019 Frontier, Frontier 30 SF, Frontier 30 series, and XB/XB1 crossbow optics); these setups require dedicated standard-thread tubular sunshades, alternative diameter-specific shades, or open protective lens caps.
