Rifle Scopes MGM Switchview Levers

[mildot326]

Hey troops, just looking for some "feed back" & "end user" experience. so I picked up a couple of these , great product and well made. That said, I'm trying to figure out if I was shipped the wrong lever? I have a Leupold Mark 6 1X6 and the lever I received is # 1810SV2N3V1. I've done the "due diligence" and emailed MGM and the store I purchased it from, however I'm thinking that my problem may be solved here? So is there a lever for the Mark 6? and if so what is the current MGM #. At full power the notch of the power ring is at the 6 o'clock position?

BTW, 3 gun nation had the Leupold version for the Mark 6, but the MRSP is $189???

What "notch" are you talking about? The lever goes around the round portion of the mag ring and you adjust where you want it so you have the rotation of the power ring and then tighten it down. On my Vortex 1-6x I have it set up so when in the 9 o'clock position i am at 1x and when at around 3 o'clock I am at 6x. I have it set up this way so that the lever isn't in the way of any hands working the rifle.

So at the 1x, setting on the "power ring" the "notch" or "tab" is at the 12 o'clock position, when it's rotated to the 6x setting that notch is at the 6'oclock?, so the opening in the lever has to line up somewhere the "notch" is. The lever has to be set at the 9 o'clock or there about to get the full motion, the way I see it. I could be missing something though?

I know this is the pic of the 3X18 but it offers a better profile of the "notch" if you look at the eye piece, you can see the magnification marks and the "notch" at the 12 o'clock position.

So only that tiny part with numbers spins? Not the knurled portion behind it?

 

[mildot326]

No the whole knurled part spins, so are you saying attach the lever behind the notch?

Yes attach it to the knurled portion so you can rotate it as needed and forget about that notch.

I think the diameter on the lever is too big, there isn't enough adjustment. Leupold just came out with there model, but it's MRSP is $189?? In the Leupold model there appears to be notches cut out for the one on the ring?

Here's a pic(s)

I believe there may be two Switchviews that fit the Mk6 scopes. I'd measure the diameter of the knurled portion and get the one that fits there.

Those notches appear to correspond to the magnification markings on the vario. If you can't get it to work out check out the Eagle Eye throwlevers also from MGM, they're polymer with a universal fit.

Thanks, just asking? did yours say Countersniper for the model? that's the box that's "checked" on my package. Maybe mine fit's on the knurled portion? I'll check it out.
I know that some folks are going to think? "theirs your obvious answer" however some levers fit a variety of scopes. The one I have doesn't fit the ring or the knurled portion.

I have switchviews in 4 different Scopes. No problems so far. I always get the model off their guide and have had no issues with fit
