I only purchased one of these knobs for the elevation adjustment only on a Vari-X II. Initially, I like the product,and this saved me the purchase of another scope. I have it mounted on a rifle, but have not had a chance to see how it works in long range yet.

They work well enough to get you through a fun shoot, or for casual long range shooting, but I think the statement in the write up "Serious Long Range or Target Shooting" is a stretch. They don't give the total range of adjustment needed for that, and are a bit too lose abd reqire shimming. But they do allow some long range fun without buying another scope with turrets.

You will need and O-RING to take up the space but that was amd easy fix. Works very well on old scope without click adjustments, allowing very small adjustments in impact area.

Overall, I think these were a good addition to my vxII, but the fit is a bit sloppy to be honest. They fit on the housing and provide nice solid clicks, but there is play to either side, and for $60 a pair, I expected something that would mate up tight, OEM style. Still, not bad enough that I sent them back and they make the scope much more adjustable on the fly.

Bought 4 of these for Leupold 3-9X33 EFR's mounted on rimfires with Burris Signature rings.Both scopes are set at centre of adjustment using the Burris insert kits so have no concerns running out of adjustment while using these turrets. Easy to install but found upper half could not be tightened to eliminate "wobble".Fitted a 3/16X5/16X1/16 O ring to each spindle under lower half of turret to get rid of play and turrets are now firm and reasonably precise. Graduation marks match Leupold closely. These turrets are adequate for casual range shooting and can quickly be removed and replaced by Leupold covers for hunting situations.

It seems to me that something this simple shouldn't cost so much, however it is very easy to set up, and makes shooting in different conditions a lot easier. Next time I will just buy a scope with target knobs on it.

1. the alen they sent with the target knob is the wrong size. 2. there is no spring in the set to keep the knob connected to the coin slot, so it rattles around. 3. its not what i would call a "precision" piece of equip. since the "laser" etched graduations on the barrel & turret do not line up very well. >>>> i would not waste your money if i were you,i have already shipped mine back.<<<<

ORDERED 2 OF THESE FOR A LEUPOLD VX-I 2-7 X 28mm RIMFIRE SCOPE #58700, AND THEY WOULD NOT WORK. THE ADJUSTMENT SCREW IS .050 SHORTER THAN A HUNTING LEUPOLD SCOPE, THEY FIT PERFECTLY ON MY 3- 10 POWER HUNTING SCOPE SO I LEFT THEM ON THAT SCOPE.
