Ceasar, member, from LA, United States, asked on February 13, 2020

I just purchased this scope and was wondering if there was a company that made aluminum throw levers for them.

Expert Answer

Answered by Armando R., Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on March 03, 2020

We are not aware of any company manufacturing metal throw levers for this optic. MGM Switchview would be your best bet in finding a metal throw lever.

Salty cracker, guest, from OH, United States, asked on January 08, 2021

I would like to install it on an M1A / M14. I have a rail over the bolt from stopper block to chamber. What mount do you recommend?

Answered by Brandon, member, from UT, United States, on February 01, 2021

I would recommend a 1-piece mount like the ADM Recon. MPN: AD-RECON 30 TAC R. This should fit right on the picatinny rail, has an optical center height of 1.47", and the cantilever throws the scope out front, allowing you to get the right eye relief.

Earl b, member, from NC, United States, asked on December 05, 2020

What would I need to mount this on a Ruger precision 338? And the vortex part #

Answered by Brandon, member, from UT, United States, on February 01, 2021

I would recommend a 1-piece mount like the ADM Recon. MPN: AD-RECON 30 TAC R. This will fit right on the Ruger Precision's picatinny rail, has an optical center height of 1.47", and the cantilever throws the scope out front, allowing you to get the right eye relief.
https://www.opticsplanet.com/american-defense-manufacturing-ad-recon-scope-mount.html

If you need/want to use the adjustable comb height a bit more, ADM also makes a ADM Recon H that puts the optical center height just shy of 1/2" higher than the standard ADM Recon. MPN: AD-RECON-H 30 TAC R.
