Which Leupold riflescope models are compatible with the 44mm Lens Shade?

This 3-inch shade is specifically engineered to fit all Leupold riflescopes featuring a 44mm objective lens, making it a direct fit for popular series such as the VX-5HD, VX-6, VX-6HD, and Mark 5HD. It utilizes a precision threaded design for secure attachment.

Can I couple multiple shades together for extended sun protection in harsh Australian outback conditions?

Yes, the Alumina series features matching male and female threads on opposing ends, allowing you to screw multiple 3-inch shades together to create a custom, extended-length sunshade. This is especially useful for cutting out severe glare during bright, high-contrast open country hunting and long-range precision shooting.

Are there any Australian electrical safety or RCM compliance certifications required for this lens shade?

No, because this product is a purely mechanical, non-powered optical accessory crafted from 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, it contains no electrical components or batteries. Therefore, Australian electrical standards, SAA approvals, and RCM markings are not applicable to this item.

44mm Lens Shade - Leupold LE118765

The Leupold Alumina 3" 44mm Lens Shade (Matte) is a precision-engineered optical accessory designed to significantly improve image quality and target acquisition in challenging lighting conditions. Manufactured from durable 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, this matte black sunshade is built to withstand harsh outdoor environments. This specific product is identified by model number LE118765, which represents a bulk, non-packaged OEM variant of the standard retail part number 118769. This offering delivers the exact same premium build quality, physical dimensions, and optical performance as the boxed retail equivalent but at a more accessible price point for shooters who do not require retail packaging.

Key Features of the Leupold Alumina 3" 44mm Lens Shade

Modular Threaded Design: Features matching male and female threads on opposite ends, allowing multiple shades to be securely screwed together to create custom, extended lengths.
Advanced Glare Reduction: Blocks angled stray sunlight from entering the objective lens, preventing internal reflections and lens flare while maintaining high target contrast.
Tactical Glint Mitigation: Deep-seats the objective lens within a 3-inch dark aluminum tube, minimizing the physical forward-facing glare that can give away a shooter's position.
Objective Lens Protection: Acts as a robust physical barrier shielding the front glass from rain droplets, dirt, blowing dust, and accidental impacts.
High-Grade Construction: Machined from lightweight 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum to match the aesthetic and structural integrity of premium Leupold optics.

Who This Product Is For

This lens shade is highly suited for Australian hunters and long-range precision shooters (such as PRS competitors) who must regularly contend with the intense, high-contrast glare of the Australian sun. It is an essential addition for tactical operators requiring concealment from lens glint and active field shooters who need to protect their premium glass from harsh elements like wind-blown dust and rain. The unboxed LE118765 variant is especially ideal for value-conscious buyers who want genuine Leupold performance without paying for unnecessary retail packaging.
