Side wheel for scope

[little_airwolf]

Just wondering where in Canada I can buy one of these large side wheels?
I'm looking at buying the sightron s3 10-50 or the new 15-55 comp scope but I'd like a side wheel for it.
Thanks guys!!!!!!!!!

Are you talking about the parallax adjustment knob found some scopes????

He's talking about the large side-wheel you can attach to the parralax adjustment to fine tine parralax/focus. They are most often found on air-rifles, but have utility on powder-burners as well.

I searched, but could not really find a Canadian source for them, though they can be found from British, American and Australian sources.

Rowan Engineering wants almost 100 GBP for one of those wheels.

I know crazy!!!!!!! Wish I had a 3D printer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol, not to worry, not too far in the future. It sure looks goofy but I can see how it would help get that focus just perfect.

If that thing would make me shoot better...hell if purple hat made me shoot better...

I have the SIII 10-50 and I think that wheel might be useful.

+1 on that!!! The parallax adjustment knob is seriously hard to turn on my still pretty-much new SIII - however, I've heard that they do loosen up with time/usage - it must be a sign from on high that I need to do a lot more shooting...

I think I might make me one of those but a little smaller, I have a bit of a hard time finding just the right parallax adjustment and usually go back and forth 2-3 times as it changes so quickly.

Keep them light, if you are shooting something with recoil they can scramble the guts of a scope.

Anyone find anything in Canada?

 

[green machine]

Check the online airgun retailers. D + L airgun, specialty shooting sports, etc. We use them in field target for range finding with the scope. You probably wouldn't make use of anything larger than 4 inches diameter.

So I found a supplier in the US $100 for a 4" and $120 for a 6" wheel. These wheels are aluminum.
I'm wondering if anyone is interested in a group buy?
I'm sure we could cut the cost down if we could buy 4 or more.
Please let me know. He makes wheels for all brands of scopes.
