Hello fellow calgunners! I recently came up with an idea that I'd like to share with all of you 
If you are a car mechanic (or know one) Then you should be able to get your hands on a free killflash...There is a unit in certain newer cars called a "mass airflow indicator" and that is what you will want. If you can, try to find a used one that has been taken out of a car and would be thrown out otherwise. Take the screen out, cut it to the proper size, spray paint flat black, and you're done
This is the finished "product"
They are usually made out of aluminum so I would use a disposable razor-blade to cut it as you may dull your fancy knife.
When you're done cutting it smaller, round the edges until it fits snug in your lens cap.
Push it into your lens cap (duh)
Slide it on the end of your scope and you're done! (Note, make sure you cut it big enough so it fits very SNUG in your lens cap, this will prevent it from coming too close to your glass!)
There is no visible light loss I can detect at all, still bright and clear with no picture loss
