Rifle Scope honeycomb cover?

Where would I go about getting a cover for my scope, with the honeycomb pattern, so it wouldn't be as reflective? (like military snipers use)

Look up killflash and Tenabrax (the folks who make it on Google)

i got an aimpoint from somewhere that had one of the killflash units on it and the first thing i noticed that the light into the scope looked like it was cut by 25-30%.....those are just guesses but it is darker ....almost like adding some sort of filter over the lens....DICK

Not quite that bad, Dick.
I read that light transmission was 84%. Sixteen percent loss IS noticeably dimmer, though.

...not quite as dim if you don't put it in the scope correctly...uh, like someone I know did... :rolleyes: ;)
I'd just had one old scope failure. An inside lens had come loose in a Redfield 6X that was mounted on my L1A1 (the cheap dust cover mount must've been ever so slightly loose and finally took it's toll, I'd guess).
All of a sudden, the Leupold Tactical I was looking through on my 700 Police started to get really fuzzy.
TWO scopes in one day? NO WAY!
It was the Tenebraex piece that was loose. I 'adjusted' it into place correctly, and NO PROBLEM. :D
