JDs Custom focus wheel - I like it!

I picked up another product from Joe at JD’s Custom Design. I got a windicator for another rifle in the summer, so when I got my new rifle, I knew I wanted to come back for my focus wheel.

I ordered the MAX wheel for the 9.5 effective diameter to maximize the help at long range, shooting Hunter FT. Not only do you get the wheel, but you also get a bubble level and a pointer for just $100. I actually forgot about the level and realized I was out of 30mm bubbles, so I ordered one on Amazon. The next day, I remembered… I bet Joe had bubbles… sure enough, it was in the package on the way and I had just forgotten!!

Another cool feature is the magnetic attachment. It is solid with 3 magnets, so it isn’t coming off until you pull. What is even better about being able to take your wheel off during transport (if you wish) is that he set it up so that it only goes back on in one spot. NICE!! I was wondering how I was going to remember exactly where it was attached, but he solved that. It only goes on in one spot due to the way he notched the hub.

Great work by Joe. He is a great guy to talk to as well. Please check out his website if you need focus wheels (aluminum and 3D), bubbles levels, pointers, windicators, scope knobs, etc.

I agree with you-funny story I got a wheel for my Optisan scope, the magnets were so strong I thought maybe I didn't have the removable feature. About half way through an FT match the wheel got jarred and came off. You should have seen me smile when I realized I could actually stick it back on in the same spot!
I thought the exact same thing!!! I wasn’t pulling hard enough. I went back to the website several times to confirm it should have the magnet. I couldn’t figure it out. Had to watch Dave’s video before I figured out it was just strong.
