I had the same issue where one hose washer was too little and 2 was too much so thought about doing this myself. However, after adding 1-2 thin plastic washers, both my scopes elevation and windage will get hard to turn about 1-2 mils past 0. While it would be nice to have it stop much closer to 0 like what you’re describing, I think this will be good enough for now but time will tell…
I just got a couple of these too. The ebay seller "tmkulin" is a good guy to deal with and the shims are good quality.I just ordered a set of SWFA zero stops on ebay from seller "tmkulin". Last time I checked they were out of stock, so I'm happy to see them available now.
Zero Stop for SWFA Super Sniper Scopes | eBay
We manufacture zero stop shim sets for use with SWFA Super Sniper scopes. You MUST select the correct turret type or the shim set will not work with your scope. It will be marked milrad or MOA. The shim sets for all the fixed power scopes and also the 3-15 are all identical and interchangeable.www.ebay.com
It’s interesting that they say they manufacture the shims. My guess is that they get them from the local hardware store and put them in a plastic bag. Not sure if that counts as manufacturing.Pricy but they fit.

There used to be a thread on these on both the old site and the old-old site. I couldn't find it here, so I'm starting a new one. If this violates some policy mods, please kill it. I make zero stops for a number of SWFA scopes. Details are below. MilRad Turrets: Fixed power non-HD models –...
That makes more sense and might make the cost worth it at that point. I was thinking if they are just the same ones you'd buy from an Ace hardware then you would be better off to go buy 270 of them at .10 a piece until you got the right size.Hes active on sniperhide.

Cool, thanks for sharing! I'm going to see if my brother in law can print this.There is an STL file online if you want to just 3D print your own (they posted 1, 2, 3, and 4 turn files). The "1 turn" file can be scaled vertically to whatever you need if you want 5.5 turns or whatever.
SWFA 10X OPTIC ZERO STOPS by hennessyj
Created to help return to zero faster on the SWFA 10X optics. To install just determine how many revolutions down past your zero until your turret bottoms out, then return to zero. Then select one of the zero stop files (if your turret goes down by 3.25 revolutions then bottoms out use the file...
This is excellent. I noticed that it is for a SWFA 10X. Do you know if it will work for a 6X or 3-9?

The turret and shims should be the same on the SWFA SS 6X, 10X, and 3-15X. The HD 3-9 turrets are shorter and a different diameter.
They absolutely work on the 6x, I printed one out prior to posting.
Those look great! I like how they are marked for how many revolutions they shim.
