The Leupold 56mm lens shade for VX-6 scopes, in a 3-inch screw-on design (part no. 118772), extends glare control and objective protection for hunters shooting into low sun or rain. Leupold machines the shade from 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, and the matte black finish minimizes surface reflections that could reveal shooter position or wash out the sight picture. The shade threads together with other 3-inch units, letting a shooter combine multiple shades for custom coverage. Among screw-on scope accessories for 56mm objectives, this VX-6 shade is built for both glare control and weather protection.
