Title: Scope accessories
Post by: YEMX on June 14, 2020, 11:48:32 AM
I'm having a brain fart- Where can you find scope accessories for sale online?  I'm looking for those larger side parallax adjustment wheels and larger elevation knobs.  These are mainly used by field target shooters.  I think they'll be useful for varmint shooting, and would like to get some (or get them made if needed).  What are the websites?  I can't believe I'm having this much trouble finding them!  Stateside is preferred...

If it is a Hawk, or a UTG, PA has such items, also scope works has some.

Good lick.

And yes getting old is not for sissies. ;D

Good luck! UTG's no issue. I have an Athlon Argos,... not much luck. Keep looking. There is some universal stuff out there. Quick adjust levers for magnification is another one.

Something to keep in mind while shopping for scopes. Some are very good on offering such items. Objective shades (tubes) and objective lens/sun filters. Lens cap options too.

I will be watching this thread. Any Athlon accessory info. welcome.

+1 Compufoil.  Eric is a precision kinda guy.  His sidewheels are works of art.  He also made custom elevation knobs for me.  Just gave him the measurements.  Used to shoot FT with him and he's a solid guy.  Freakishly smart.

Only thing I have really done to my Athlon is mark certain parts of the turrets with day glow orange and add a sun shade form them.
When It first cam out, they wanted 50 bucks for the shade. I found it on line for 29 bucks and bit. LOL!


It really is helping in the very early morning and very late afternoon.  Such times of day really separates the men from the boys in optics. The Zeiss I have has no shade, and NEVER flairs out. Love great optics!!!
