I got one of the first 3x boosters for the NF. it was used at the nationals by several shooters who loved it. Think Gene got 5-6 orders the first night.

IMO works great and order it.

BH many thanks for your great news; in the BR game the latest expensive high quality scope, to released next January, is going to be a variable to 60X which will put the NF right up there, with the booster into the "looking at the small holes at long range" category. Overbore

OPTICS--Davis Power-Boosting Lens Insert: Gene Davis has a new product that boosts the magnification of Leupold, Sightron, and Weaver BR scopes. A threaded ring with a Zeiss lens simply screws on to your scope behind the eyepiece, using the threads provided for lens caps.,Consider it an eyepiece extension that fits between your eye and the end of the scope). Both 2X and 3X models are available. The 2X version increases image size about 15% while the 3X boosts the viewed image roughly 30%. Hence, on a 36X scope, Davis' 3X booster creates the equivalent of a 46X power scope. Starting with a 45X Leupold you can get 58X power. Many long-range BR shooters are using this product and reporting to Gene that they can see bullet holes at 600 yards and beyond for the first time. However, there is a price for the extra magnification--the reticle will appear slightly larger, and the image will appear somewhat darker. Some users say you will notice a drop-off in resolution past 300 yards. But, according to Gene: "the image darkening is almost imperceptible during prime daylight hours." We think Gene's invention is a winner--a great way to get more magnification at a low cost--$100.00. We also like the fact that, unlike an internal boosting job, you can simply remove the Booster if you want to return to the original magnification level.

Gene reports: "If the scope has screw-in lens caps, these Optical Boosters perform well. We started with a product for the Leupold Competition scopes. We now have Optical Boosters for Weaver T36 and Sightron 36BR as well. We are working on other brands of scopes and the earlier Leupold scopes that do not have threads for the cap. The Optical Boosters do a fantastic job for old or poor eyes. They fit any Leupold scope that has screw-in lens caps, as well as the Weaver and Sightron 36-power target scopes. The Boosters require no internal modification and will not effect the factory warranty. The Optical Boosters,either 2X or 3X) cost $100 delivered."

Bobby Hart tried mine in his Swarovski. It would not screw in, but it fit in real nice and Bobby decided to order one for the NF and just use a 4" piece of black tape to hold it in place.

If anyone wants a 3x booster for a Leupold for $90 delivered, then let me know. It works great, but is actually more power than I needed for my scope/rifle combination.

Is that a new leupold or older leupold? One has angled threads and one has straight threads
