ARD lens cover combo

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - ARD lens cover combo

Posted: 8/30/2001 11:06:49 AM EDT

I got this new scope cover combo in the mail today from S.W.F.A. It's a very cool idea indeed. It is a flip up styled scope cover with an Anti-Reflection Device built in. I can't wait to try it out. These are supposed to be equivalent to a 7" lens shade.

It's a killFLASH #M1-ARD btw.

I don't know if it is available on their website yet. I got it from their customer service dept after they sent me the wrong sized Leupold ARD. It should be available soon though.

I have tried out both the Butler Creek and Tenebraex Killflash ([url]www.camouflage.com/front.html[/url]) ARDs. Killflash is the original milspec version and usually costs up to $80+ per unit. The devices do cut down on light gathering by about 15% but this is a tradeoff to not having a 7" tube hanging off the end of the scope or binoculars. Also if your scope's magnification is below 3x the "honeycomb" will become visible.

I'm not at all sure that Butler Creek still offers ARDs, at least to the public.
