    Scope wheel for side focus parallax knob

    Hey guys, thanks for all the help. I decided to have a couple of different shapes of focus wheels 3D printed for less than $15 each so I could try to figure out what shape I like. I'm very happy with the results and will probably stick with them for awhile before splurging on a nicer wheel. If...

    Vanguard Quest BiPod/TriPod for Field Target use

    MRA_Field_Target, are you saying that a bipod rested gun is more stable than a tripod rested gun? In addition to wanting to use this in it's bipod configuration for Field Target comps, I have a real world use case where I have to shoot standing up. I assumed that a tripod would provide a more...

    Vanguard Quest BiPod/TriPod for Field Target use

    Napair, I can't quite grasp what you're saying. You have one and really like using it in it's tripod configuration but your wondering if in real world use it is any better than using it in it's bipod configuration. Have you tried removing the third leg and using it as a bipod to see which is...

    Vanguard Quest BiPod/TriPod for Field Target use

    Guys, thanks for your responses. My plan is to remove the 3rd leg before even arriving at a Hunter Field Target event and only use it as a bipod. I can't imagine any meet director would say, "No you can't use that bipod because I know you removed one of it's legs!". But I am new to this so...

    Vanguard Quest BiPod/TriPod for Field Target use

    I'm looking to get my first bipod for Hunter Field Target comps and I'm considering the Vanguard Quest T62U. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006LZNOKG/ref=ox_sc_act_title_5?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1 It's a tripod that allows 1 leg to be removed for use a bipod. It's also a tall version...

    Scope wheel for side focus parallax knob

    Davecole, JD seems to make a lot of different shapes. Since you've tried 5 different makers I imagine you have also tried different shapes. How does one decide if they want round or some other shape like Nautilus or other ones he does? Also, do you have any thoughts about the magnetic...

    Scope wheel for side focus parallax knob

    Batman2, I did see that one for sale for $15 and I want it if it will fit. It would be a nice cheap way to find out if I even want to go further into field target comps. But I don't have enough postings yet to qualify to contact him by PM.

    Scope wheel for side focus parallax knob

    PeeWeeDaddy, Wow! Compufoil.com (which seems to actually be scope-werks.com) sure has a lot of aluminum wheels for Athlon scopes (and at better pricing)!

    Scope wheel for side focus parallax knob

    Cajun1024, JD Garland's look great. How well does the magnetic mount system work? It seems like it could get bumped off easily during use. Wondering if I can justify double the cost for the aluminum ones over his regular ones, how are they better?

    Scope wheel for side focus parallax knob

    I want to try my hand at a local field and target competition and I'm told I should get a scope wheel for the parallax side focus knob on my Athlon Argos BTR GEN 2 6-24x50 FFP mil. It appears the knob is about 32 mm in diameter and has grooves in it. Any suggestions on what I should be looking...
