Rifle Scopes Looking for a zoom lever throw

[FELIX 808]

Hey guy,
great site you have here. I have learned a lot thru my readings thus far & can appreciate you guys not putting up with any smoke blowers ( ) around here.

Anyway, I have a Bushnell DMR 3.5-21x50 that I am looking for a zoom throw lever. I have seen a few in the $100+ range & would rather not pay that much. Are these pretty much one size fits all? Should I measure it with something like a sewing (flexible) tape measure. What do yo guys recommend.

Thanks for the insight

Google "switchview". Nice folks to deal with. Call them on the phone and they'll tell you what you need for your scope. They are model specific to a certain extent and around $60.00, if I remember right. Nicely made...

Thank you for the reply's . They both have the model I'm looking for, but I'm leaning towards the switch view ( Aluminum vs plastic, slightly longer & looks better to me anyway)

Thank you again

Shorter and lighter is better.

I understand lighter, but the difference is .08" in length I figure a minuscule more leverage & aluminum being a bit more durable for the field
$.02

Love mine watch out it comes with a extra long screw ,don't let it fly when you open the box.

Next time, consider these:

Breakaway Nylon Coasters:Amazon:Sports & Outdoors

~$17 gets you two of them. Universal fit, works great. These are actually made to hold fishing reels onto fishing rods, but they make for a GREAT switch view lever.

Well I received my switchview from GAP today, & I must say it is a very nice piece. Extremely light weight, I'm really happy with it

This is the one I bought.
Fits 34mm ERS and XRS, too.
Very nice unit for around $50 IIRC.
Also fits the Steiner Military 5-25x56, which comes in handy if you replace your XRS with the Steiner, speaking from experience.
