Hood Scope Checkers...

[gunsandgunsmithing]

There seems to be some demand for bringing back the Hood Scope Checkers. I'm gonna contact Charlie and if he gives me his approval, I plan to bring them back. Obviously, still very early on in the process...just my intent at this moment, but hope to move forward with it asap.
I'd like to get a feel for how many people will commit to buy one and wish to start a group buy to cover most of the set up time. I'll post here when I know a price but if there is enough interest, we'll move forward. I'm thinking that if I can get orders for 20-25 of them, I can cover most of the set up fees and keep the price down as low as is feasible. They will be made on CNC equipment and be of top notch quality or I won't do it at all.

If you would like to be put on a list of buyers, please let me know here. When I know a firm price, I'll post it. As of now, this post is to gauge interest and you will not be committed to buy.
Thanks!--Mike Ezell

For those that don't know what you're referring to, you might want to explain what a hood scope checker is.

not asking for a specific price, just your guess at a price range for the scope checker mount. price range will determine if I would be a buyer.

Here's thread with a pretty good explanation of what it is and how it will work.

Just a guess at this point. A lot of anything done by cnc is based on volume. It's a small market item and the set up time has to be overcome.
But no worries. I'll just use this list to contact you by when I know a firm price. No commitment, just interest. I'd be surprised if I ever sell 100 of these. We're a small market.

I believe this is a must have for any serious competitor. Seriously. May end up being the cheapest accuracy you'll ever find.

Yes...I should probably contact the scope makers...to see how much they'll pay me NOT to make them .

I have two. The thing of it is that it is indestructible and easily loaned out to other guys at the range if you know in advance to bring it. One can borrow and mail one quite easily, as I have done.

It may ruffle some feathers but it will make scopes better because of it. I am not saying to sell your comp scope while you can, ok, maybe I am.

Yes sir! Like I said, small market. I doubt very seriously I'll get rich from this, but there seems to be some demand for them and I do believe it to be a very good tool.

I'm holding out until my used BR will sell for more than a new Comp. Lol!

Mike, I think Scotty Crawford took over for Charlie

 

[IdahoSharpshooter]

Add my name to that list as well...

I'll talk with him too, if I need to. He may well feel that the demand isn't worth the set up time and I know he stays busy.
Thanks George

I will say or add that they do work very well. I found it hard to believe I shot so bad and I couldn't blame the scope.
Gee, thanks Charlie.
