Rifle Scopes Zero stops for SWFA Super Sniper Scopes

- Start date
I have a Falcon Menace I keep around for a backup scope. I made a zero stop for it using a drip line elbow which fit perfectly. Works great.
Received my zero stop kit for SWFA SS 16X42. Promptly shipped, great seller communication. Shims worked perfectly on my scope. Thank you!
Are these available in stock for the SWFA 12x42 ss? Want to order a set but wanna make sure first. Thanks
Yes, just make sure you tell me if your turrets are MOA or mil rads. They are not available for the HD models.
I just sent my order for the SWFA 3-15x42 zero stops on Saturday, May 17th via PayPal and Tim had them shipped first thing on Monday the 19th with an email to confirm. I'm in Southern California and they came in the mail on Wednesday the 21st. I installed them and they work wonderfully. I just wish I had found them before the long range rifle course I attended two weekends ago.
Can't wait to use them in the field. Thanks, Tim!

I have a SWFA 3-15 and have been using the set I bought back when they first came out. So I have been using it for several months now. I have experienced ZERO problems using the stops and really like the simplicity and cost... just ordered a second set for another 3-15
Thank you TimK and Skullybones

I just talked to the guys at SWFA, don't take my word for what they said exactly but I think he said a 5-20 zero stop is possible. He said something like the zero stops were designed for the lower power scopes and were not compatible for the higher powered ones.
Mine arrived yesterday, and they work just as described. Thanks again Tim for the prompt shipment and good communication.
The 3-9 requires a different shim kit. They were prototyped, tested, but not backed by SWFA.
This goes for all HD models. It was as much of a disappointment for us as it is for you guys.
I just got back from the Steel Safari, so I'm back to next day shipping. Thanks to those of you who waited patiently for a couple days while I was shooting. Your stops all shipped yesterday.
After consulting Skullybones, I've listed 3 sets of the SS shims in the options for sale section. These were very early production that they guys were kind enough to make and send out before SWFA came down with the decision that they should not be used in the SS 1-6, 3-9, or 5-20 scopes. They were bench tested for fit and function and worked just fine. Since there seemed to be such a high demand after they stopped making these, I thought I'd mention it here in case there is someone who is interested and wants to take the chance on using them, vs. just sending them back to the guys and have them destroyed.

I ordered a set of each (MOA & MIL) yesterday... this is the third time ordering multiple pairs of shims, not only for myself but also for some of the guys on SOCAMO that run SS scopes on there Mosin Nagants.
AWESOME all the way around!! The shims install easily, and are worth more than $20+ there weight in gold!! Thanks guys, definitely a worthwhile upgrade for the SWFA scopes!!

We just shipped the last MIL based units in stock. We will ship any new orders on Friday the 27th. Thanks for your patience.
Sorry to you guys who had to wait a couple of days. We ran out, but have plenty in stock again. We're back to shipping the same or next day.
We're offering throw levers now for the parallax ring. They're pretty darn cool.

orderd a set for my 16x42 with moa turrets!!!!!!!!!! cant wait to get them installed. I will be shooting next weekend and i will let everyone one how they work! im sure the weill be better then i could imagine!! thanks Tim
I installed thr zero stops on my 16x42 yesterday morning(7/19/2014) installation was very simple even for me! they worked awesome. I have a 200 yard zero. When installed they even allow me to dial down to 100 yards. Then when the turret stops i just turn it back to my zero mark and its good to go! great work and I will be ordering another set soon!
