How do you like your 5-30 scope?
I am blown away by the ones I have for the price.

@Lewis I haven’t taken time to really stretch it out in practice. I’ve shot out to 65 yards and shot it using 16x at the highest aside from sighting it in. I have used 30x for parallax/ranging purposes on the last deer that I harvested. It looks noticeably dimmer and fuzzier at its highest magnification from what I’ve observed. I also don’t like the fact that the only illumination is on the center dot within the reticle. Other than that, for the price point it’s killer!

Thanks for the link to the throw lever.

I halfway expected plastic but it's aircraft aluminum & well worth the cost. Wish I would've done it sooner. Happy shooting Dave!

@Gerry52 Nah no plastic on the smaller levers either. Vector throw levers are good to go. I have some of the smaller throw levers on the Veyrons. They work pretty well. They aren't rock solid and can move, but they continue to work effectively in the field.

A generic throw lever option is called "Breakaway Nylon Coasters" on Amazon. I saw a youtube about them on Tilly's gunstocks channel. They are like a zip tie with a plastic lever that you twist to tighten them around the knob. I put them on my Arken EPL-4 parallax and light knob which are stiff. Not as nice as a metal lever made for your scope but I didn't find them for my Arken. Price is reasonable, just over $17 for two. Work fine. They can also be easily repositioned if you decide your initial installation is not what you now want. Once you cut the zip tie part to length you are limited in what diameter know you can put them on, however. But they could be moved to other similar sized knobs. When you get them you could put it on something pretty big. Maybe even the objective lens area on a scope with the old style objective lens parallax. They were apparently originally intend for something to do with fishing rods.

I saw them on Tilly's as well. I bought a package to try on my Hawke 4-12 x40 scope. I haven't put it on the scope yet. Hopefully this week.
