- swfa ss scope 3 15
Wow that's a nice looking scope what mag range is this? How much did it cost you? And what mag setting ring adapter is that?
How is the tracking on the 5-20? I'm very heavily leaning toward the 5-20 and does it have an illuminated reticle?3-15x42
5-20x50
Or do they offer one?
I assume you're talking about the po'boy throw lever (I am running 'em on a few scopes).
They are "coasters" from a fishing supply place, item NC1 from this website;
Coasters | Breakaway Tackle & Development
I assume the blue part in the picture is plastic or rubber to protect the mag ring and prevent slippage. I use a strip of rubber innertube that is invisible when installed, but that part is optional. The coasters are plastic so the odds of marring an aluminum mag ring are low.

Does it work well? And does the pretruding end of the coaster interfere with the bolt on the highest mag setting?
You can setup the lever wherever in the rotation you'd like.
My bolt guns end up with the lever (and mag ring) rotating from 7:30 or 8:00 to wherever it stops, maybe 3:00 or 4:00.
The coater is like a hose clamp with a lever attached, so it's up to you how you install it.
Joe
That looks very nifty does it cover the mag numbers or is that what you were talking about using clear hose?
Depends on how wide the mag ring is I guess.
Here's one on my March 3-24.
You can see the strip of innertube between the coaster and the mag ring.
A rubber band would work as well, but I had the innertube sitting around, and it's black and less visible.

They are nice for the money. Good quality I think. No issue with a 100 yard zero, scope has plenty of elevation adjustment.
Long sold, but here's some.
Still use a fixed 6x for hunting.
Now I need to take a picture of my 1-6

I'll post mine here... When I get a chance and as soon as I figure out how to post pictures on the new format
Billyburl, im waiting on a 300wm barrel for a savage build with the same choate stock. What cheek pad is that? Cant make up my my mind on the scope, the ss hd is in the running. Do you like it for your application?
Pic through the Remington in 308 at 200 yards, if I remember right 8 power. Its hard to get a good cell phone pic.

Both rifle and scope are sold now, I'm about to order another 10x if one doesnt show up in the EE soon.
Thats a good idea. That place is local to me so maybe I can stop in on a test drive one day and grab me one.

Anybody getting 5-20x50 from the tax day sale yet? I am turning circles waiting to get mine, tried out a 10x before ordering and really liked it so am anxiously waiting. Just curious
