Okay let me knock out some batches so I can get a feel for time involved and such so I can figure out a price.

FYI, I am changing the half mil base to -9.5 cause I think that makes more sense in hindsight.

Sounds great. Keep us updated. Looks like you have plenty of interest!

Ill take two sets....

Initial batches I was having a cull factor with lettering not sticking well, I've made some tweaks and am printing the lettering second now. Its not as crisp but its printing more reliably and they are readable enough, I am just nitpicky on things. I may try a finer nozzle down the line but I don't have one on hand and folks are excited and reaching out already.

I will post a listing in the classifieds this afternoon when I have time to coordinate payment/shipping labels and I will link it here, please hold off an reaching out prior. Pricing will be $25 for the first set including shipping and additional sets can be added to the same shipment for $15ea.

I have some small boxes arriving tomorrow for shipping these out, I don't want to use bubble mailers incase the sorting system bends these.

Packaging and quick instruction sheet:

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.
