Hello::Just bought a 4-16X50 Steiner Mil Tac with a very stiff power ring. Anyone know of a Switch Throw Lever out there that will fit this model?
Thanks

I had a Bushnell XRS and kept the Switchview 1819SV1N3V1 (also fits ERS and DMR/HDMR) that I had on it when the scope was sold.
I use that Switchview on my Steiner 5-25x56.
I had to get a longer screw (the diameter of the Steiner mag ring is a little larger than that of the Bushnell) from the local hardware store and the notch for the "spur" is a little too wide (see the picture for clarification) but it works perfectly.
The diameter of the 5-25 mag ring measures 1.867".

Depends on how much you want to spend.
I remember this thread here for the DIY'er. Still trying to figure out how to post a link. But here it is.

I have a bunch of scopes with the po' boy throw levers. They work, and work well, for cheap.
I'm glad the one off the XRS fit my Steiner, though, that scope deserves a real throw lever.

Sorry guys, it took me a while to get back to this. Thanks for the info Joe. I found a compatibility chart at MGM web site. Switchview Model Compatibility : MGM Switchview, The fastest and easiest way to adjust your power setting! The 4-16 measures 1.765 on the power ring. I ordered 1762SV2N3V1 from Brownells. I'll let you know how it fits when I get it installed.
Thanks Facemelt, I have a couple of those plastic knobs on a couple of MK4s. They do the job.

Just an update on the MGM throw lever for the Steiner 4-16X50 Military. The 1762SV2N3V1 is a perfect fit. Snugs up good with a few threads to spare. Also clears the Badger bolt knob by a 1/4" or so.
