For what it's worth, my 7000 series MVA scope the lens is right at the end of the scope. There are no threads for a lens cover.
The sunshade would have to clamp on somehow.

Marshall made 3 shades for me after I sent him a scope cap for the thread dimensions off a J.W. Fecker 20.5" long scope with 0.905" OD objective. So he should have the dimensions, but likely not for larger Fecker objective housings.

If I remember correctly ,when I got my MVA 23 inch scope with Silhouette bases the instructions indicated they could be installed on at 7 something or 11 something inch spacing. The shorter was recommended for longer distances but the movement was more course per dial hash .

I once had to re- align four bases on the same barrel with holes that had been done by hand and were not square/perpendicular to anything in particular.
One set was for scope bases and the other two for tube sights. Not wanting to drill any more than the eight holes already present I wound up making new oversize blocks, using the original crooked tapped holes to secure and milling all three sides of each base out in line. Man what a can of worms that was, Hope he never takes them off or mixes them up if he does. :lol:

Check in with Joe Hill of this forum. He lives in the area and should know one. There is one in Milan, but I don't have his contact info.

It took me a while to find the adapter I made for one of my rifles. This is an option you can use to switch from a 9000 scope to a globe sight.
Switching between the scope and globe sight you pretty much will have a repeatable setting were just a sighter shot or two will get you right back on center.

You can order the dove tail block and clamp the globe back on. No I won't make one for you :) but MVA might.

After talking to Cheryl at MVA I am going to go with the A scope 10X With Silhouette mounts and screw on blocks. It should do what I want.

Kurt, a tip that would probably allow your adapter to be more accuracy repeatable is to make one full width dovetail body(top and bottom) and a cap. The reason is it reduces the moveable,draw up contacts points by half and is more rigid.

Mike that was just a spur of the moment thought. It's not perfect but it works. It's in a drawer now and but I been thinking making a better one with a closer fit and a little lower profile. I just knocked the front sight off one rifle so I don't see as much barrel shadow so sooner then later I will make another one or mill a dovetail in opposite direction of a front globe to eliminate this type of adapter. It will be more repeatable that way.
