I bought a used scope on the Hide and it only had one shim with it. I’m sure Vortex will send more but I want to shoot that rifle in a competition a week from today. Any ideas for alternatives so that I can set the zero stop on the scope?

Yes. Anyone else have a set? I am a Nigerian prince living in exile and willing to pay a princely sum if I could have a set and your bank account to deposit $1 Million in gold too.
I have couple old ones and was thinking of getting brass washers or spacers/bushings and cut a channel in them, same size as the shims and make a better fit. I have found that the shims can sometimes be inconsistent when bottoming the dial back out.
Was that recently? I sent an e-mail request about a month or two ago and they said none were available.
It was November, last year. Try them again. Call them. I’ve only called them a few times over the years and a real person has always picked up.
The alternative I used was a piece of 1/2" PEX pipe that I sliced a slot to fit the stem. I was able to get it to stop about half a rotation under zero. This might work until you get a set of shims. It wasn't a hard stop but I knew to stop when I felt resistance. PVC might work too,I'm not sure of the outside diameter.
