Anybody use a washer or shim to make a zero stop for the SHV 3-10?

I haven’t used it but if I wasn’t selling my 3-10 SHV I would get it a whirl.

Jeff O does, if I remember correctly.

Luke,

Thanks for the link that might be perfect. The website is lacking a little detail on instructions, do you know if they will send you a spacer to your desired height or do you sand it as necessary? I wasn't really sure from their pictures.

Looks like I found the answer to my own question. There is one picture on their website that captioned sand down to fit. That must be the answer.

might this work ? Will pop off the turret on my 3-10-SHV tomorrow and have a look see.

Nope. Turret is set up different.

Thanks. The other address didn't work when tried. Will do again.

After looking closer at mine it appears that a spacer below like Zer-O-Stop Luke posted is the way to go. A nylon washer that has an ID of .810 and approximately .140 thick is going to be close. The spline of the the adjustment cap and the the brass adjustment has enough room for vertical play so the spacer won't have to the exact thickness needed. Obviously the more spline contact the better.

I ordered one of the zer-o-stop ones listed above. I'll report back how it does.

Please do!!! I am only happy to lead you to an option....I have been he guinea pig several times so look forward to hearing how it works for you. I really like that little SHV I will be sad to see it go.

Why are you setting it free?

Got there finally. Ordered from Jason one each for my SHV 3-10×44 , Sightron Siii 3.5-10x44 and my Sightron STAC 3-16x 42

Sweet!!! Let us know how they work!!! Its a great little scope.

Basically 3 reasons.

1)I am slowly going to MILs on all my scopes as my simpleton brains thinks better is small numbers and decimals than larger numbers and fractions (reality either works just fine and not a big deal going back and forth really)
2)I like the reticle on the LRHS better even if it is 4 oz heavier.
3)I wanted a true zero stop, and exposed elevation turret for the rifle it was going on.

Don't get me wrong its a great scope for sure, just not best suited for my particular needs or wants really compared to some other options. Who knows maybe I will be getting another one sometime down the road.

Took all of 10 minutes to install. Think I'm going to like this.

tag....

Right on!!! My buddy just ordered one last night as well. Sure makes the little SHV that more more attractive for the $$$

Now I'm excited for my 300 WM and the Sightron 3-16x42 stac and my Tikka with its Sightron Siii 3.5-10x44 LR. Now if I'd quit working I'd have time for my other life.lol

Nice, Thanks! I'm gonna order one for the SHV riding on my new 7 Mashburn build, already have a hell of a load built with the 160 Accubonds at 3258 fps.
