WTS Zero stop shims: SWFA 3-9x42 and SWFA Gen 1 6x42, etc.

[pods8 (Rugged Stitching)]

I'll wait to update the first post with 6x till I have a bit more inventory built up but I have some sets complete and packaged now for anyone reading down here that is interested.

In general I won't accept an order till I have stuff ready to ship, I'll just let you know if that is the case when you email and follow up when I have availability.

I’d like to order a few sets. Would you be willing to toss them in an envelope and mail to Canada for whatever the fee is?

Yeah, shoot me an email with your address so I can review shipping options.

Do you make these for Nightforce SHV 3-10?

I don't have that scope to mess around with.

These just came up because I had the scopes and folks were wanting something I figured I could address.

Are there anymore 3-9 swfa sets available?

Yes, I have inventory of both and will try to maintain availability, so far so good.

Installed on my Swfa 3-9. Worked great. Lots of variability to adjust the “stop” to where you want it. Definitely glad I purchased.

 

[pods8 (Rugged Stitching)]

@silasbowhunter and @mahonsr did the numerical total of the stack land withing a couple tenths of a mil from your scope's bottom of travel? I know the shim stack will provide lots of variability regardless but I was definitely trying to have the reference numbers line up fairly close to get folks in the right ballpark immediately. They did on my scope but that was a sample of one so definitely curious to hear from others.

Got mine installed this morning.

Super simple fix.

Thanks again

Maybe this can help someone, I had 3 showing on the rev indicator. I used a base 10, 10m shim, and a 18mil shim and I can go a mil past my zero if I CRANK it, but only about .5mil before you notice it’s very tight. Awesome product man! Thanks!

I'm looking forward to getting these and putting them to use, but there's something to keep in mind about any stop that is based on pressure vs a hard stop that prevents the spindle from rotating. A hard stop like NF, etc prevents the spindle from rotating so binding doesn't occur. These don't stop the spindle and if you crank it things can bind. Just don't crank them and you should be fine.

Yes set it up so when you notice the initial resistance your at or a bit past your zero.

Did you notice any variation on your scope's distance from your zero to bottom of the turret adjustment versus the shim stack height?

I debated asking you for instructions that an idiot could follow - I’m not the best person on this.

I just set my scope at its zero and stuck shims in there until the fit made it bottom out a few clicks past zero.

I have no reference point other than my zero.

If you want to explain it to me like I’m 5 I can give you information you need haha!

Did the gen 1 3x15 moa become available via the 6x or other option?

Rugged Stitching - you asked the same from me earlier and I did the same as Kyle - the whole bottom of the turret thing went over my head and just ripped the package open and stacked shims until I got it where I wanted it.

@KyleR1985 & @mahonsr
So you have your scope zeroed and there is no zero stop in it off the bat. Paying attention to your revolutions and the amount past the last full turn you would dial the scope all the way down to the bottom and take note of how many mils that was.

Example, if you did 3 revolutions and the scope went 2 more mils (that would land on 3mils since its 5mil per turn and you're counting down) that would mean your scope's zero is 17mil from the bottom of the turret travel and you'd want to start out with 17mils of shims.
*The -10mil base + 10mil shim + 17mil shim would get you 17mils.
*The -9.5base + 10mil shim + 16mil shim it would get a 16.5mil shim stack (to move the zero stop back .5mil).

Does that make sense?

Did the gen 1 3x15 moa become available via the 6x or other option?

Folks tell me the 3-15 are the same (but they list 35mils of travel vs 40mils in the fixed power) so I am waiting for feedback to really say for sure.

BUT that is the mils version, you mentioned MOA, I have not done any MOA, just mils. If there is solid demand for moa let me know. This all depends if you're even concerned with the labels on the shims. Folks above said the just swapped out shims till it got the height they wanted, the set will certainly provide a variety of thicknesses. I was just trying to have the mils labels close to reality.

How many numbers are showing under your turret on the Rev Indicator and what shims did you use? To get it to “zero” out?
