It states 40 mm sunshade but it will not fit the 4.5 x 14-40mm A/O Nikon scopes only the 3 x 9-40 mm Nikon.

Fits and works great on my Nikon ProStaff. As I expected from Nikon, another great product!

DO NOT BUY FROM OPTIC SALES!!! I felt Amazon should know what HORRIBLE SELLER and PEOPLE these guys (optic sales) are!!

I placed an order with Optic Sales on amazon.com. I received a "leave feedback for this seller" BEFORE I ever got the item. I ordered the item the morning of March 22 as of April 5 I STILL had not gotten the order so I stated that in the feedback and I said if I did not get it in a few days I would be filling a complaint.

My order FINALLY arrived April 8. I was contacted a day later by the seller Optic Sales asking me to remove the feedback. I told them "NO, what if a friend or relative was thinking of ordering from you. If I changed my feedback then they will think the transaction was fine and it was not! It would be wrong because the feedback was correct. So then the "Customer rep." tells me he would refund the cost of shipping. I told him it was not about money it was the fact that I had waited almost THREE 3 weeks for my order. I told him if he wants to make it right to send me another of the same item for free then I would remove the feedback. I knew they would not be willing to go that far, or at least I thought.

Well at that point the seller told me "go screw yourself" YES actually told me to go SCREW MY SELF!!! I hung up on the fool and called "Optic Sales" back and told a different customer rep (a lady) what had taken place and that I would be letting Amazon know what a horrible seller they have representing Amazone.com, whom I love and order stuff all the time. I gave the customer rep lady at "Optic Sales" my phone number, name and address so she would know EXACTLY who was calling making the complaint.

This was Amazon's reply.

I have 5 of these sunshades on Nikon scopes: 2-Buckmaster 4.5-14X40mm, 2-Monarch 3-9X40mm, and 1-Prostaff 3-9X40mm . These sunshades fit perfectly on all 5 scopes, and perform as expected. They are perfect for predator hunting,keeping the sun from reflecting off the scope lens.

received my shade and installed on my rifle scope, nice. good materials, does the job. my only issue, and it is a minor one, is that the cap now does not stay in place with the shade on, i must remove the shade for the caps to work properly, minor issue.

Sometimes I end up shooting into the sun. Now I don't exerience the glare that was a problem before.

Went on an antelope hunt out west, and it was clear and sunny every day of the hunt. Without a sunshade, I could have missed my only opportunity for success. My partner didn't bring his and he had trouble seeing the goats mid-day and ended up missing twice. Better safe than sorry.

Works good and fits good on my Nikon 3-9x40. Makes the rifle look very good. The only problem was it doesn't match the diameter of the scope itself its a little bit smaller, but still looks fine.

Put this sunshade on my pro staff team realtree 3x9x40 #6318. Fits great, works great. Used camo wrap, looks great on my camo AR.

Great shade. Looks a little funny on the buckmaster because of the shape of the objective but it functions well and I blame the design of the scope not the sunshade. PS, if you have a Nikon buckmaster pick up a set of the tall turrets amazon sells for the monarch because they actually do fit!

This fits perfectly on my Nikon 4-12x40, and the color matches the black matte of my scope perfectly. Does what it's intended to do, eliminate glare. Also keeps my lens clean from debris and accidental smudges. I used it in the a light rain once and it kept all water from reaching the lens. My only complaint, and a small one at that, is cosmetic. For some reason the design places the lettering at the top of the sunshade and not at the bottom. Stands out on an all black gun. I don't know if the threading would work out differently for other people, but I wish they would have left the lettering off all together.

Overall, very satisfied with the sunshade. A bit on the expensive side ($27 when I bought it), but worth the money. If I buy another Prostaff I will buy another one of these shades to compliment it.

** UPDATE **
Bought another one of these shades for an identical Nikon scope and can confirm the lettering does not line up the same. On my new scope the lettering is off to one side instead of the top. The lettering annoys me because it reads "Made in Philippines". I guess that's better than "Made in China".
