Restocked SWFA 3-9x42 Gen 1

[Ajsomp]

Do you have any experience with these and the aadland scope caps? The aadland rear cap release button gets in the way of the bolt on my left handed tikka and these look like they would fix that issue.

I’ve had both - the aadland on my maven and I have these on my 3-9 and 6x Swfa. I like the MK better. The aadlands came with my maven so I figured I’d use them. Both are great, I just prefer the mk.

I have a set of Tim’s shims on the 3-9 I have on my Tikka 6.5 CM. They work great. I just got notice that a second set shipped for the 3-9 I will be putting on the lefty Tikka 223 I will be getting from @Unknown Munitions sometime later this year.

His add is for fixed and the 3x15. Do these fit the 3x9 or is there a different set? Thanks.

You message him on eBay and let him know you want the 3-9.

The 3-9s are different, and like @NSI said, you message him what model you want.

 

[Weldor]

Thanks, Roger that.

Just a few hours over 5 days from order time to my door with UPS.

This round is 3-9s seems to be a nice mousetrap. “Glass” looks great, adjustments are accurate and repeatable, no problems. Should make a great hunting scope.

Dang it. Still no Kimber. They look solid though. Thanks.

Whatcha mean?

Whatcha mean?

I remembered when I got to their website that I’d been down that road before, but they don’t make a version for the Kimber 84M.

Ahhh shoot I gotcha.

Can you get one piece Leupold backcountry? Just put some of those on for my brother and they are really nice.

Yep, I just got some. They seem pretty rugged, indeed. I like the looks of those Hawkins better because on the rear mount the front screw comes down through the ring. Makes for a smaller footprint. On the Kimber version of the Leupolds both screws go through the base, which leaves the ring hanging out over the ejection port.

I like the compactness of those Hawkins. Plus the 25moa-ness. Plus the bubble. Does seem like manufacturing the 25moa cant would be harder to execute though. Did you have to lap those?

Just curious but @ChrisAU you get your scope?

I’m waiting on a 3-9 zero stop shim kit right now and will update if anyone is interested.

Yes sir got it Saturday. 2 years and 4 days after my backorder.

 

[BLJ]

Is @ChrisAU in the lead so far for the longest wait?

 

[Tanner]

You are a much more patient man than me.

I have not, and never have lapped any rings… I trust Hawkins knowledge more than my own about metal and stuff… I’m just a ham fisted carpenter anyway!

Mine just showed up and noticed 2 things.

The clicks on both turrets are almost inaudible. Very different than the SWFA click feedback I’m used to.

The power ring, is stiffer than Jerry Sandusky at a Pop Werner game.

Not sure either are a big deal and power ring will probably loosen up, but it’s interesting.

Small ranger band fixes the stiff power ring without the bulk of a throw lever. 12$ for an assorted sized bag on Amazon.
