Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Nightforce SHV 3-10x42?

I got the washer/spacer from a business by the name of Zer-OStop.com business owner Jason Miller . also facebook.com/ZSTurretSystem is a place he did business.
I've tried to contact him recently to no avail.

What are the specs on that washer?

With that info, could probably make one.

Material some kind of fiber somewhat like that from a 3D printer, ID .810 OD .932 thickness started around .200 mines now .149 now that I sanded it down to MY zero.Actually sanded it down plus 1 moa so the turret is not under tension when zeroed .

I'll second the comments on the SHV. I own two of them, both 3-10x42, one on a .243 RAR Predator in Med rings, the other on a Forbes .243AI in Talley Med rings.

Both have the Illuminated MOAR reticle which is perfect for hunting, IMHO. I have drops for a specific load memorized out to 500 yards for the .243 and 600yards for the .243AI.

I own one VX-5 and the SHV has clearer glass and better low-light performance to my old eyes.

Thanks sidepass for the shim size! I need to make a couple of these.

I have a couple 3-10 SHV's and really like them. I was a bit worried about their weight when compared to the 3-10X40 Leupolds that were replaced, but honestly can't tell the difference when packing the rifle.

What tubing material did you start with?

So ID .810 OD 9.32 and .149 on depth ? I have a 3d printer 50 feet from my desk, There is a guy at work that can make some of these up if that is the correct dimension.

I believe there would be a market for such a part.

Agreed!

I just talked to him in the breakroom, he is getting the specs as I type this.

Think the depth should be .200 so theirs some chicken to sand away to find YOUR zero. The zero stop rests on top of the dust cap threads and the turret lands on the zero stop. So once you zero your rifle you measure the gap between the top of the threads and bottom of turret and that gives you your stop thickness. I sanded away an extra moa so when i go to zero the turret is under no tension. OEH .932 OD

Would require a very large turret

I'll know in the next few days what can be done

I know that there are quite a few videos and forum posts out there about using nylon washers to create zero stops for SWFA scopes. Would one of those work for these scopes as well, provided it is the right size?

More of a spacer than a washer. Roughly 13/16" id 15/16 "od so a wall of 1/8 " and a depth on 3/16" looks like a ring. Found some rubber O rings that might work double stacked but not sure how they would compress.

I'd be interested, also.

I’d expect a soft and mushy end point. They would keep you from an extra turn, going too low.

I’m interested in what ever works. Doesn’t need to be fancy or real precise, IMO, to let you know you’re at the right level.

Considering selling my SHV 3-10X42 w/ Forceplex reticle. PM me if interested.

Here’s what I would do if I was to make a zero stop. I would buy a pice of raw aluminum rod, most likely in 1”, then drill a 13/16” hole in it, then cut a slab off with a chop saw. Then I’d either have it powder coated or better yet anodized in black.

ordered some O rings. will see if they compress to much and hinder dust cap being secured and or if the turret cap itself forces the ring over the dust cap threads. O rings due on monday.

Why not make it out of Blue Delrin ?
