Can't help you there, but how do you like the scope above?
Am looking in to that one of Strike Eagle by Vortex.

Not wanting to sound koolaid, but I really like it. I can't give a comparison, unless to my Aimpoint M4s's. The glass is super clear, reticle real crisp, and the red dot is perfect. Plenty bright in full sun, down to low light. If the battery dies, the scope is still very usable. Also, the variable focus ring is not too tight. Easily managed. I've plans to get another Leupold for my Elk rifle...soonish.
I've always bought the cheap stuff in the past, Simmons, Bushnell, Weaver, because I managed to smack the scope as I slipped off a log (valley woods hunter) For me, this Leupold is mouth watering tenderloin.

I researched the VSE quite a bit. Also on my list of potentials. The more I looked into them, the less I liked. I feel the reticule and subtensions are way too big.

The sun shade, I may have to make one

Duct tape and PVC...?

Kidding. I prefer sunshades on the range so I understand the pain. A while back I saw some slip over style. Now if I could remember where....

Bondo and black paint!

ebay has sunshades listed, but I didn't dig very far into the listings. I did see several in 32 mm but not 33 mm! The old trick of PVC and tape does work, but looks like what it is.

So be it. Schedule 80 PVC pipe will work. If need be, I'll have a piece turned on a lathe and then scuff it to remove the shine, then dye or paint it flat black. I'll look into the possibility of having it threaded as well.

I'm not willing to buy/try. There are alternatives!

33 mm sunshade no idea if it would work

I have some soft rubber shades that slip over the scope, not the most professional of accessories but it gets the job done
