- Start date
They will ship this week. I got a touch behind in the shop, and have been machining non-stop lately. Sorry for the delay, but these are going on the machine tomorrow.

Same position as above. Fixed sets were completed today. 5-20's tomorrow morning.
From Rockbox's post:
"Skullybones was kind enough to send me a set to try out on my Sightron SIII 6-24 Mil-Hash FFP. The set he sent me were designed for the SS so the thickness markings were off since the travel on the SS and the Sightron Mil are different. The 1/4 shims took up about 1/3 of a revolution of the SS. Other than that, the shims worked perfectly and I was able to get the turrets to stop 1 click below zero. Skully said he would adjust the shim thickness for SIII orders, so I would not hesitate to give everyone two thumbs-up for using the shims on Sightron models like mine. Here is a picture of the shims on my scope.

I should have a set for the SIII 6-24X FFP MH with exposed tactical turrets in my possession soon. I'll post my results.

All orders have been shipped. Thank you guys for being patient. We now have some in stock for immediate shipment, so future orders will ship within a day or two.
Just got my shims for my SS 10X Mil/Mil scope. The shim's quality is excellent and I was able to get my zero stop set up and I currently am able to dial .3 mils below my zero.
High quality kit, and highly recomended.

Buy these shims with confidence!!! Tim is a good guy to deal with, and the product although simplistic does it's job. This is a nice touch to scopes that already are good performers.
So we should be receiving 4 washers instead of the 6 shown in the video? I received my ss 5-20 today and only had 4 washers (2,1, 1/2, 1/4). Mine seems good at 2 1/2" of shims but I was just curious.

Yes, the 5-20 is a four shim set. This is because the scope only has three revolutions of total travel.

As to the next question. The shim kit feels very solid. It is noticeable when you reach the zero stop. No mush and no chance to go further. I am positive other users will back this up.

Installed my set today and it works great. I'm in love with my SWFA 10x42 and this solves the spin-til-you-get-dizzy problem with the elevation turret. I previously had to get back to zero by carefully eyeballing a small notch I carved into the turret housing with my pocket knife.
Now if you guys could just come up with an illumination mod the scope would be all a guy could ask for! SWFA if you're reading this, please please please add an illuminated reticle to your 10X line up!

You better check with sightron on this. I showed a brief interest until I called for the company'is opinion. They felt this would destroy the elevation mechanism in short order. There are two engineered elevation stops, anything in between will fuck up the scope. Sounds like they're also ready to tell the individuals using such stops to get fucked in regards to warranty. Caveat emptor.
I need to experiment with it some more and if anyone can provide input please do as I'm by no means a gun smith or expert marksmen. I had my 5-20 dialed in for 100yds with one revolution at 7 (+3 hashes), let's say 7.3. With 2.5" of shim it stops at 7 smoothly and takes a little extra to get those last few mils. Should I loosen my Allen key up a little to achieve an exact zero stop or be satisfied with where I'm at and finess the last few mils once I get back down to 7? I'd be perfectly happy with leaving it but I'm just unsure if there's a method to get it exactly spot on.

OP can you update the OP on price and kits available?
Depending on price I'm interested for a zero kit for a SWFA 3-15 Mil/Mil.
PM imbound but for future readers/customers posting all info ie price,kits available, ship cost ect would help a ton. Skimmed through 3 pages of this and couldnt find the price or if these were in fact for sale yet.
That said Awesome ingenuity! Like DIY stuff that works!

Thanks! Got mine in the mail a while ago now. Just waiting for a good day to scout out a long area on the property to shoot.
Will post once I get zeroed and the shims in.
This was for a fixed 6x moa.

MOA are tested and ready to go. We should have some to ship in a day or two.
A fellow hide member is mailing his scope this week. I'll post as soon as I can get a set figured out.
Hay Tim I got my set the day we spoke over Email. Thanks! I havent got my rifle zero'd yet but went ahead and tryed one out! They worked great! Awesome product!
All orders received as of 23 January, 2014 are shipping today. We finally got ahead and have stock to ship immediately. Thanks to all!
If needed I can take some measurements of the 3-9x42 MIL/MIL. Let me know if that would be helpful.
