SWFA 3-9 Low Profile Turret Interest

[Schmo]

You could drill out the splines, but the screw still goes into the brass post.

I may try that with the free BDC turrets.

Yeah I was thinking along those lines. Maybe drill out the splines, and then maybe figure out a washer setup under the cap screw where the cap could free spin without rotating the stem. Obviously the electrical tape will work, but trying to figure out another solution that doesn’t require tape to hold.

The turrets aren’t prone to spin in the first place, electrical tap applied to a dry scope is gonna stay there a long time. Not sure why you are worried about it not holding.

The chain leg cap would be better than drilling out a turret and hoping the center post doesn’t spin as you tighten up the screw.

IE don’t over think this imho.

Oh I’m overthinking lol. OCD on some things like actual zero stops and capped windage turrets, but frigid give the 3-9 a shot. I’m sure it’ll be a non issue

I’d love to buy a few 3-9’s, but the tall turrets are inhibiting me from buying them. That scope with short turrets would be great.

Count me in for a set

Just found this thread, fantastic idea. I'd be in for at least 2 sets.

You know, before I owned a 3-9x, I thought this would be great. Now that I own one, not just the gen2 fixed ones, I really don’t find this necessary.
