Optics glare

[huggybear]

I noticed the other night when I was out shooting Nutria that I was getting some killer glare off the street lights that surround the area.
Any inexpensive ideas to keep that to a minimum? Before I buy a sun shade I would like to try something on the cheap. Tonight I may try a paper towel tube cut
down the middle and rubber banded to the scope just to see if that helps. I am currently using a Hawke 6-24x44.

I don't intend to sound rude here, but I think it bears pointing out that you have a Hawke scope on your rifle - a brand not exactly known for its low prices.

Just get the sunshade, man.

Front lens or the eye piece?

That should work to test and see if it helps any.

if it helps Hawke makes reasonably priced sunshades for their scopes .

 I had to wear polarized sunglasses to see through the glare of the ocular lens of the centerpoint rifle scopes I used breifly.

 Paint the inside of the paper tube flat black or line with flat back paper to kill reflected light off the inside.
