Welcome to the 'Fire---from what I know about the older Weavers, sunshades from Mueller optics will fit some of these--eg., the 3" Mueller will fit the Weaver V-16(42mm obj.) and V-24 series; the older Weaver T-series sunshades are discontinued and are hard to find.
If any 'Fire sponsors carry these Muellers, check 'em out--if not, google Mueller dealers and take your chances on a correct fit.
Good luck!

Yonder-
If your scope is marked "USA" it is a pre 1984 El Paso made Weaver.
The Meuler sunshades only fit post 1984 JAPAN made Weavers.
A clue is the front of your onjective bell. Do you see any threads around the front lense holder? If it is the scope I think it is, there is no threaded section to even screw in a sunshade.
To all gunmaker critics- "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena.."- Teddy Roosevelt
