Throw Lever - Great Option

Makes a big difference. No brainer. Easy to assembly, fun to use. . Makes using my already amazing viper, that much easier to use. I did not have to re-assemble. The lever slid right on, simple tightening of the single fastener and away ya go. Barely hand tight with the allen wrench does the trick.

Not designed to last

Did not last - the slot on which the two ends are joined, separated and is not fixable. Was great while it lasted

Gotta love Vortex

I wrote a review stating that my throw lever broke. It was on the connection point of the ring. I clearly stated that it may have been my fault and that i threw the throw lever away and did not expect anything. Then one day i checked my email and there was a message saying they wanted to send me a new lever. So i sent them my address and within two days i had a new throw lever. They also sent me a hat. Outstanding. Not to mention they gave me a newer version of the throw lever. I honestly never expected it. This new lever feels very strong. It was easy to install and so far im loving it! A big shout out to vortex for helping me out on that one, even without me asking.

Mine broke after very little use

I have had this scope for 8 months maybe, in that time i have only gone out to shoot 2-3 times. I pulled my gun out the other day and heard a clang. I was confused and looked around till i saw the throw lever on the floor it had bent out at the connection point. I bent it back and put it back on the scope but the next time i picked the gun up it was the same problem. Im not sure if it was a problem with how i store my guns or if maybe it had a hairline crack under the paint before i bought it. I was very happy with it before it broke and im sure it was a freak thing that wouldnt ordinarily happen. Anyway i tried to bend it back again as i had the first time and the lip just snapped off.

Fit question?

Will this fit the Strike Eagle 5x40x50?

Good product but overpriced

A much needed and great product, but pretty overpriced. I constantly use the throw lever because I "scope" with my scope instead of with binoculars and it is very helpful. I never have to change optics and reacuire the target

Magnification made simple

I like to go up and down in Magnification without, leaving the scope. And as a lot of time the rings can be a bit tight so this makes jumping up and down in magnification a lot easier. Simple installation!

Switch view throw lever

Just got mine in the mail, the gap where the Allen screw goes when tightened leaves quite a big gap. So me thinking it needed to be closed I tightened it too much and stripped the screw out and bent the bearing part. Totally my fault, I do wish the metal part that touches the scope magnification was rubber, I think it would give a much better grip against the scope and wouldn't scratch the finish. I think it's a good part, the rubber would make it an excellent part.
