The Hawke Honeycomb Sunshade (SKU 62110) is a low-profile optical killflash designed for riflescopes with a 50mm Adjustable Objective (AO). Featuring an ultra-compact depth of just 9 mm, it screws directly into the front objective lens threads to eliminate forward-facing flash, reflection, and stray light glare. By using a fine hexagonal grid rather than an extended tubular housing, it prevents game from detecting lens glare across bright paddocks and high-contrast hunting fields while adding virtually no bulk or snag points to the front of the rifle.

Key Features

• Reflection and Glare Suppression: Uses an integrated hexagonal honeycomb killflash grid to block outward sunlight reflections and filter oblique stray light, maintaining target contrast without revealing your position.
• Ultra-Compact Profile: Measures just 9 mm in depth, delivering full anti-glare performance in a fraction of the space required by traditional 50 mm or 100 mm tube sunshades.
• Durable Construction: Built from lightweight aluminium with a non-reflective matte black finish to blend with the rifle's matte optical housing.
• Passive Operation: Calibre-independent mechanical design handles recoil impulses across airguns, rimfire calibres, and high-powered centrefire rifles without requiring batteries or maintenance.

Who is the Hawke Honeycomb Sunshade 50mm AO for?

• Air rifle pest eradication shooters — who need a Hawke riflescope honeycomb sunshade that adds only 9 mm of length to maintain a short, maneuverable barrel profile while stopping forward lens glare from spooking rabbits and birds in bright daylight.
• Varmint hunters using 50mm AO Hawke scopes — who require anti-reflective killflash protection threaded specifically to a 50 mm Adjustable Objective lens assembly, preserving target contrast across open paddocks without the front-heavy bulk of extended tubular shades.

Less suitable for: Riflescopes with standard non-AO or Side Focus 50mm bells (which require dedicated non-AO threads like SKU 62109), non-Hawke optics, or extreme low-light twilight shooting where an open, hollow tubular sunshade is preferred to maximize ambient light transmission.
