Custom Zero Stop Shim for Sightron S3

[Bryan Fields]

Hey,
Several years ago I purchased a custom shim. It was basically just an aluminum washer sized for the S3 turret and cut to the right thickness for my scope. Does anyone know who that might be?
I know there are ways to make your own, but I'd like to buy one if at all possible. Thanks!

I just made a temporary one for my 6-24 out of a nylon washer. Actually fits good and works great, but I’ve recorded the measurements and am talking to a friend tonight about making me some on his 3d machine.
Bought one as close to the size I needed, opened up the hole so it was a snug fit and sanded the thickness down until it stopped where I needed it to. Didn’t bother painting it black since it’s temporary. If it ends up permanent I will paint it.
Im gonna go smaller outside diameter for my final one, and it’ll be flat black with a white indicator line.

As far as thickness, unless the aluminum one you’re looking for adjusts for thickness it may or may not zero stop where you need it. Mine is currently 0’d at 100yds and I made the washer stop slightly under that zero, but if I wanted to zero at 200yds I will need approx .013” more thickness.

I ended up making one from a nylon washer. Got lucky with the thickness. Works great.

Just another way to skin a cat, use Burris XTR Signature rings with the plastic inserts and have the elevation bottomed out on the last turn of the elevation turret leaving ALL of the elevation available for LR shooting.
