Well it took some trial and error but I was able to shim it out "properly." Not sure what they're actually called...almost like a thin lock washer...one of those in the back and front then an additional brass washer in the front.
Was able to get to 40lbs on both. I had to try about 6 different...
Looks like they actually just sell the shim kit too....sold out though.
Rifle opener is on the 15th here in Michigan....with shipping delays and then still needing to sight in, I won't have time to get the actual shim or pillar kit. I'll have to try regular washers and hope that works. Or...
The barrel is still floating.
I was thinking about buying the pillar kit....great idea to start with a washer. I'll try that and see if it works.
Just to clarify, the bottom "metal" is the stock one made of plastic.

I recently replaced my stock trigger spring and recoil lug with the Mountain Tactical versions.
After putting everything back together my magazine wouldn't lock into place. I watched the mountain tactical video on this issue but no fix.
I put the...
I have a mini that I bought last year. Was planning on using it again this fall but the trip isn't going to happen so I'm going to sell it.
Its practically brand new. Its in the original box with all the paperwork and all of the accessories are unopened. I can text you pictures if you'd like...
Hey Willie,
I was in a similar situation last year and after all of the research it seems to be a better deal just to buy a new or used one. By the time you secure your dates, pay shipping, and the daily rate, you're pretty close to the purchase price. All depends on how long you'll need...
Appreciate everyone's input and info in this thread.
Wanted to give my support for Michael Tawn over at Tawnado Airguns. I placed my order for a set of T084s on the night of 3/7/21. they shipped the next day and I received them in the mail on 3/15. Genuine rings with the stickers and great...
I have one on backorder from SWFA but have been told the wait could be 6+ months.
Watching here and sample list in hopes of finding one sooner. Thanks!
Yeah, according to Leupold they are discontinuing the entire VX-3i line and replacing it with the VX-3HD. Some sites, like Midway, already have them up for sale. Seems like some issues at Leupold though since they're already in the distribution channel but no info in their site. The rep said...
Yeah I think places are trying to clear them out after Leupold discontinued the line. Some of the drop sites have them even cheaper than midway, but like you said, looking for a deal.
Appreciate everyone's response. I haven't done a lot of research on the swfa but there's no denying the support they get here.
I was leaning towards a VX-3i 4.5-14 40 CDS. Locked n Loaded has them for about $500 shipped.
Just curious, what would make the swfa worth the extra $?
I know there are many threads on scope preference/choice but I wanted to toss this out there anyways.
After all of the research and drooling looking at new scopes I believe I have determined what I WANT to buy. I say want because I think I have bought into the hype and let my...
