Rifle Scopes Zero stop for sightron

I tried making a zero stop of sorts out of rings of black delrin for my 6-24x50 SIII scopes, something you can slip over the turret while you've got the knob cap off. I had problems getting the thickness/height of the ring right, though it shouldn't have been that hard to do. I think I was just not satisfied with the SIII's sfp and was looking for excuses to spend the money on a good ffp scope with zero stop. Wound up removing the SIIIs I had in service and replacing them with a 3.5-21x50 Bushnell & several Kahles K624i AMR scopes, and never looked back.

I went to Sightron's website a couple of weeks ago, and found that they're coming out with a new version of the SV that will have a zero stop - which was the last objection I had. If I hadn't already invested in the Kahles & several Athlon Cronus scopes, I'd certainly try one of the new SV scopes with zero stop.

There are several models that are available with zero stops now.
They will offer upgrades to those identical model scopes in the future.
As an example, sometime later in July, they will offer an upgrade to the original 4.5-24 SSVED to install a zero stop.
 
@fdkay It's an older SIII 6-24 with mil hash reticle, probably 10 years old or maybe a little more
I recall that, at one time, they offered a zero stop conversion. I don't know if they still do.
I looked into it for my SV SSED, but they wanted 300 bones for the conversion. There is a bit more to the conversion for that model than the SIII variety.
Send them an e-mail through their website, they are pretty responsive.
