After last years SMM3G and Johnson 3-Gun I decided a throw lever/cat-tail might be a good thing. The power knob on S&B scopes can be stiff and or slippery when you are in a hurry.

A buddy of mine is a wizard when it comes to CNC stuff and offered to help.

And those Germans being as smart as they are, the power rings are the same on all their scopes. So I added them on my 5-25s and 4-16s.

We made a bunch just cause we can. They head off to get anodized early next week. I will toss a few in my bag when I head to Mesa here in a few weeks.

And this is how they look on a 5-25 mounted on my AIAW.

Not up to me. Depends on how many people want them and if the programmer is willing to do it. One off custom jobs are expensive.

Here is the first proto-type for Leupold scopes.

It is on an old VX3 (3.5-10)

Basically I just removed the detent screw on the power ring, then turned and threaded a piece of 303 SS.

That took a couple years of experience.

I just got a request for a NF NXS 1-4 Cat Tail from a fellow grunt headed to Afghanistan for his second tour.

I am not sure if one of my Cat Tails will fit his power ring. If anyone has this scope could you measure the zoom ring for me?

I'd like to send him one for free and want to make sure it will fit.

Thanks in advance!
