Through my searches i found this DIY and though you guys might like it. Not to steal the credit here is the link to the direct post http://www.700rifle.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=781


I wanted to get an ARD but could not justify spending over $60 on a meshed ring. When I got to thinking about how it works I decided to make my own. Now I have this on all my rifles and it works like a dream, it reduces glare and lens flash extremely well. There are many products being sold on the net that cost about 45-55 dollars. Using my method it will cost you $3.00 (if you own flip caps) and less than two minutes of your time, you will also have enough to do it on hundreds of rifles.

BEFORE

AFTER
Image

1st.
purchase a roll of charcoal fiberglass insect screening (home depot)
Image

2nd.
cut a circle that is slightly larger than your objective (you want a little lip all around the bell of the scope)
Image

3rd.
place the cut out circle on top of your objective and try to make the lip even all around.
Image

4th.
position your flip cap over the mesh and start to slide the flip cap into place. the mesh will be held in place
and stretched tight by the flip cap.
Image

5th.
your done, it kills glare and flash very well. it is invisible when looking through the scope and when your walking back to your rifle after checking your target you can tell the difference, all the other scopes are reflecting light and are shinning. On yours you will only see a black hole

That's worth 3.00 to try. I have a Nikon BTR turkey scope that was suppossed to come with an ARD in the box. It has been over a month now, and all I have received from Nikon is a big run around. Their customer service staff SUCKS ! I like Nikon products, but hope I never have to deal with them on a customer service basis again..... :(
