Restocked SWFA 3-9x42 Gen 1

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.

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

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!
