Considerations & Trade-offs
- Adds length to the objective end of the riflescope, so it is an extra component to manage in the field or during transport.
- Compatibility is limited to RS.1, RS.3, and RS.4 riflescopes; it is not a universal lens shade.
- The shade is sized differently for each RS model, so fit depends on matching the correct version to the specific scope.
- Its stated purpose is glare reduction and added objective-lens protection, not a change to the riflescope itself.
