Description
Believe it or not, the heat from shooting rounds through a barrel rises up in front of your scope objective and can distort the image you see. That’s why you see all sorts of goofy looking attachments on benchrest barrels during a match. Our Mirage Shade is a simple very lite gauge aluminum 24 inches long and 2 inches wide. Two sets of Velcro attachments are included, and the aluminum shade is easily cut with regular scissors. The Shade should be mounted on the barrel so that the front edge is just a fraction of an inch back from the end of the barrel and the back of the Shade extends past the bell of the scope to the rear. The Shade will guide the barrel heat waves (mirage) around the bell of the scope instead of right in front of it – maybe make that .201 group into a .150!!

Mirage Shield
I attached the shield with very strong button magnets and after a few shots with a 30BR it shifted forward and the mussel blast bent the shield. I just ordered a new one and will attach it with the supplied Velcro tabs. I recommend the product.

Barrel Mirage Shade
Shot an F Class match in the Texas heat and it worked as advertised. I roll it up and clip it with binder clips to store it in my box.

Barrel Mirage Shade
Perfect for what you want, low price and works well enough. The well enough has to do with the velcro, if you shoot long strings the velcro adhesive warms up and is in reusable so a supply of velcro will be necessary. Not a problem at all just a heads up.
