Yes, my scope has them. But it seems to me that they are very poorly
designed. They're SHINNEY. Good baffles are knife edged or at least
beveled so that there's only a tiny area that can reflect line down the
path. Meade's are about 1/8 inch wide and flat. They could have saved
a lot of money by using flocking paper instead.
