New varmint gun

Recommended Posts

Just mounted the scope, Vortex 4-16x44. Picked up that Best Gun Vise yesterday at Cabelas, makes it nice to work on/cleaning. Can't wait to put some bullets through it. New furniture is next and maybe a Fast Fire III for close - up action.

I own 3 Vortex scopes on 3 different rifles (.223, .17 Remington, and 7mm-08) and they perform great for the price. I purchased Switchview magnification adjusters for the 2 scopes on the AR platforms. Look like this. 2 stage RRA triggers.

That's cool! Are they available locally?

Thanks, Tommy

No, I purchased mine online somewhere. The diameter of the magnification ring has to be specific to the scope so you need the Switchview model number. The device is about $60 I believe. If you are interested in purchasing one I can go look on my packaging and get you the model number for your Vortex Crossfire scope. I think that's the model you have.

Yes, please. My Vortex is a Viper model, 4-16x44, 30 mm tube.

Thanks, Tommy

OK I don't have the same model as you but I looked and they look very close. There is some wiggle room when installing these so they don't have to be the exact diameter but I bet we're very close if not exact same diameter. Mine are the 1" tube as opposed to your 30mm but the magnification dial is what we're putting the lever on. I have the Crossfire II models in a few different configurations and they all used Switchview 1655SV2. I purchased them through Brownells online.

 

It makes changing the magnification much quicker than the regular twist.

 

Here is one installed on my Vortex 4-12 x 50.
