Restocked SWFA 3-9x42 Gen 1

Is it fair to assume these would work on the windage turret as well? So that windage is locked at least in one direction? Or is there a better way? I thought I saw a post saying you could put a 7/8 inch cap on, but I don't understand how that would stay on, since you can't screw it on without engaging the erector spindle. Maybe I'm missing something? Wouldn't be the first time!

Personally I wrap electrical tape around the base of the windage dial once its set, overlapping onto the scope body.

Finally took out my 3-9 from the recent release of scopes and now I understand why they are never in stock. Great reticle, solid glass for a good price. I love my rs1.2s but have enough, future guns will get SWFAs. Thanks for sharing this info

Dose anyone know if there is someone making a small magnification throw lever. Or a stud like on the SWFA 3-15x42.

My favorite solution for the stiff mag ring is a ranger band. Adds just enough grip and is cheap and unobtrusive.

I appreciate it. I'll give them a try

I second this. Been using it on all manner of scopes.

Ranger band on my SWFA 3-9 as well. Read about it here, tried it and loved it. I’ve added them to a couple of other scopes and got rid of the bulky throw levers.

The ranger band is a great tip for a stiff scope mag ring. I tried it and couldn't believe how much difference it makes.
