Shout out to Aadmount for a) a great product and b) fantastic customer service. The company followed up my weeks ago question about these with an update to let me know when they were available, so i didn't have to chase them down. Received the new TT throw levers one day delivery, at my request, so I can use them in a match this week. Product is cleverly designed for the TT knurled magnification ring, easy to install, cosmetically a good fit to the scope itself and rock solid.

All in all a great experience, great product, much appreciated.
 
I don't know how to post pics on the forum. Have tried and failed. This is a link to the Aadmount web site: http://shop.aadmount.com/Exact-Fit-T...TLTanTheta.htm

The actual product has a slight texture in the finish -- it isn't smooth, so you get some purchase when you grip it. Think skate board tape but much finer grained. It is not a perfect match but damn close to the color of the TT scope itself -- has a very slight amount of blue in the black color. Don't run too far with that color comment, it is basically black, but there is black and then there is black and so there is some slight difference in the color tone. The knobbed "handle" sits up about 3/4-1 inch above the ring that wraps around the TT magnification adjustment ring.

Since you have a TT scope, you know that the magnification ring has indentations in it, and they aren't straight across the ring, they run slightly oblique. The Aadmount lever imitates that angle, so the throw lever sits flush to the scope magnification ring, and has features on the interior of the throw lever ring that sit down into those scope indentations. The picture in the link above shows those indentations running at a 90 degree angle to the ring, and that isn't how the product actually works.

Apologies for running on about it, trying to replace in words what would be more simply done in a picture.
 
I would also like to add, great service and great products. I ordered scope caps and a throw lever for my Schmidt & Bender PMII 5-25X56. Fast shipping. The exact fit throw lever is the perfect size.
