Rifle Scopes DIY Zero Stop for Diamondback Tactical?

[hoop12]

This goes for both the SFP and FFP models. Has anybody found a way to create a zero stop for these scopes? I have the 4-12 SFP and am looking into a FFP model, but for the next scope I buy, some form of a zero stop, whether factory or DIY, is an absolute MUST. Any help would be great

Did you remove the cap and look? I can check mine tomorrow to see if it can be shimmed

 

[hoop12]

I haven’t, simply because I didn’t want to start messing with doing anything unless I’d found something that was successful.

I can print you one based on your dimensions.

As in what rifle, scope model, rings and base combo?

No, as in you would need to figure out the OD, ID and height of whatever “stack of shims” would allow you to bottom out the elevation turret at your zero (or slightly past it). Then he would print a cylinder (that was one piece) for you to insert in your elevation turret in lieu of the shims.

You can check out the “SWFA zero stop” and Vortex “CRS zero stop” for examples of how this method works.

I have one of these scopes on the way, just not sure if the “shim” zero stop method even works on these scopes—I’ll follow up.

It appears impossible to shim as the turrets use internal push-pull action. The turret height does not change between the extreme upper and lower mil range. I'll post pics in a bit.

My modular anti-static funnel has been excellent. I would highly recommend anyone use your services for 3D printing.

was this ever figured out.

+1 looking for solution

 

[Prebanpaul]

There is not one. Look at the Cabellas covenant 7

Already have Athlon Midas TAC, Argos BTR and this Vortex, all 6-24 FFP. First two have zero stop, was hoping maybe there's solution to make Vortex better.

Do you know who makes these Cabelas scopes?

 

[Prebanpaul]

No but I own Nightforce Atacr and Schmidt and benders. I went and looked at one and bought it. I wanted a sub, 600 dollar scope for my 17hmr and 22lr.
