would like to buy a sun shade. for 3x9x50, (marked v9-b usa) any one have a clue where on could be found, i know it is old a vey good scope. any help or info would greatly appreciated. thanks yonder

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!

thanks checkfire will take a look see.

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.

it is threaded, is the reason i was hoping to find a shade i bought the scope in 1971, thanks yonder
