Restocked SWFA 3-9x42 Gen 1

[BjornF16]

So I emailed Tim about the unadvertised set of shims for the 3-9 SWFA on Feb 28, never heard back. Is this the correct email for him?

I'm probably just going to go to the hardware store at this point with a turret in hand and get some nylon washers.

I traded messages with him via eBay…he said to just order what is listed on eBay and put a note that you want the 3-9 shims.

I did exactly that and received the 3-9 shims

Who said anything about accidentally?
It only has 5 mils per rev

You shooting far enough for a full turn? 600 yards ELDM is 38 clocks,. 0.8 turns. If not on zero after you forget to reset it after a sgizt, dial down, right?

And please forgive me if I'm being dense here.

I do
And I guess let’s just say I’m a big fan of a good zero stop

SWFA SS 3-9x42 HD FFP Scope Cap Set

SWFA SS 3-9x42 HD FFP Scope Cap Set . Strong, Durable, Precise Fit. The perfect option for protecting the lenses on any optic....

I ordered a set of these. The ocular cap was way too small (I ended up cracking the plastic by forcing it on).

Ocular size I received was 1.575”. MKM said SWFA provided the measurements.

MKM was great and mailed me out a larger ocular cap (1.673” but it was just slightly too large). I had to tape the ocular end in order to get it to fit tight enough to not spin or fall off.

Anyone get a set and have this issue?

Here’s the covers I found to fit the best. Mk up front and a switch cover by Vism on the ocular.

22lr's and 223s get cranked a lot. Have maxed out the elevation more than a handful of times just seeing what can be done.

Getting lost in turret land is a real thing.

Come to think of it. I got lost in turret land with a 300RUM an a 12x as well!

They must have got rid of the spot to enter a discount code cause I don't see it

Thanks for the heads up. I gave one to a buddy 2 weekends ago for that 350 Legend...got a replacement.

Had the exact same issue but my measurement after breaking the small on measured 1.629 on the ocular, and I contacted so she sent me a 1.634 for replacement and it’s perfect.
Just ordered a second set and just put it in the notes so hoping I receive the 1.634”

It lets me add 247 of them to my cart

Depending on how I measure, I get between 1.625” and 1.635”.

I’ve asked for 1.634” replacement.

Haven't tried it with mine, but nylon washers might work for zero stop. I use them on four 6X SWFAs. Personally don't turn these far enough to matter.

The only time its ever really happened was when shooting a handful of rifles. A paint mark would do near the same thing IMO as the washers.
