Sun Flash on scout scopes?

[chrisout]

OK so I have a my Mosin Nagant M44 Scout scoped with a very SOLID Darrel scout mount. Zeroed it the mountains cause I HATE the rage Nazi's and shooting paper is boring. It is zeroed in at 100 and really accurate out to 350 yards. I was VERY pleased and shocked at the accuracy. I had my Remington 700 BLD in .270 compare which is a tac driver with ballistic tips.
again could not believe the Mosin was so accurate. BTW, the reason for the M44 is because it is short and I use the bayonet for protection while pig hunting in extremely thick brush where my hog honey hole is. sometime you have to crawl through it. ANYWAY, I took the Mosin deer hunting this year and almost could not see through the scope because of the sun hitting the rear optics while walking through the mountains. are there any pistol/scout scopes that are better at blocking the sun or are they all that way. thanks for any advise.

Nne that will be better than others. However, you can use a little bit of cardboard and Jimmy up a makeshift shade. Just have a piece about 2-3''wide that can form around half your objective or eyepiece, then use some tape to hold it on there. Like I said, its not glamorous but when you need to cut some glare out, it might do the trick for you.

Thanks for the idea. I might try that with a piece of leather, rubber or plastic.
maybe a large rubber hose cut in the hood shape of a brim of a baseball cap?
