Throw levers

[kochie]

Just wondering is a throw lever needed or just kind of nice to have ?

It really helps in competition shooting when you need to adjust scope power in and out to find targets.

I think if you are hunting or competing on the one way range, they can be an advantage for some. If you are on the two way range or training for that, I have found most (not all) throw levers to get in the way of one thing or the other I need when behind the gun and don't want to move my head/body position. They are not really expensive to try for yourself and see if it works for you depending on why you want it!

If you want to see if a lever is for you but don't want to shell out the money without knowing first, try running a cable tie around the power ring ( or even the objective if that's what you need), pull it as tight as possible and cut the excess. If you like it, buy the lever you need. If you don't, cut it off and you aren't really out anything.

In some cases/scopes they are necessary to turn the power ring because it is stiff. I have a Leica that makes me want to use vice grips on it.

I just got a new NF Competition 15-55x52mm BR scope and would like to get a throw lever for it. I've tried finding one but have had no luck. Can anyone that has one for this scope tell me where they are available? Thanks for your help.

Measure it and then check Ebay. Lots of custom makers on there. Look for the one that best represents the design of your ring. Some have 'bumps' built into them and others just rely on tension to hold them. Might have to look at quite a number of them to find just the right one.

I have killed a lot of critters. I have won a lot of matches in various disciplines. Man, if I just would have had a throw lever I could have been GREAT. I was missing the ultimate piece of equipment. Who makes the best custom version?

How did we ever change magnification on our variable scopes without these? (Just fine, thanks, that's how...) I think this is one of the most overrated gizmos ever to come down the pike, and I remove them from my scopes if so equipped. But I have strong hands, and strong hands are the devil's workshop. Or something like that.

If you have a scope with a magnification ring that is too stiff to turn by hand, then you have a defective scope or a defective grip. JMHO...

I used to think throw levers were just another tacticool bolt-on bling. After trying one I’m totally sold.
I would recommend an OEM manufacturer’s throw lever. Some of the aftermarket ones are 3D printed and are pretty rough.

I think if you like them get one if you don’t well don’t get one then.
