Thread: Another custom scope turret label

Son-seal might be ok. Might depend on the print used, as some laser printers (like the one I'm using) will make the paper pretty impregnable.

I'm printing these a bit longer than the turret circumference to ensure they overlap and round off the top cornerstone little to prevent the label getting caught and coming off.

Using mail label too, but setting the big flash printer at work to the highest resolution and quality I can.

To waterproof paper paint it with a solution of clear silicon gap filler and Fuelite.
Take care not to get any of the solution on the sticky side of the label.
The Fuelite evaporates off leaving a film of silicon embedded in the paper

What about spaying a layer of clear coat over a it? Would that work?

Got mine back in the mail the other day, thanks

2nd this question

Womens clear nail varnish? I used to always carry a bottle and used it for re sealing my scope when the ocular eyepiece kept getting dinged. (Warmed scope over camp fire first to defog, then applied nail varnish around the edges of the lens.)

I've built it into my ballistics app which is in MS Access. I've got a bit more tweaking to do with it yet but will eventually make it available

Impressive! I'd pay money to host a metric version of that if it's intended as freeware.

That's absolutely brilliant Uplandstalker.
Your print out is simple and un-cluttered.
So especially good for those of us who now need glasses to look at small items at close range ( range charts and turrets ).

Bit of a refresh on these MOA turrets. Both Elevation and Windage.



Working on another that is a little more interesting too. Will update again soon.

Just noticed a mistake in the windage turret. Best i fix that one

Just got them in the mail

Mint ! Exactly what I was after... Nightforce style turrets to replace the crappy Weaver windage one, very happy customer.

Great stuff. Just wanted to make sure it was right before printing the curved ones, cause they are abit more difficult if i get it wrong.

I'll print them tomorrow and get them on the way.

Cheers,

Mite be a tool question but what are you all doing for atmospheric conditions
Ie say label is set for 500 above sea but then you want to go 1500 above sea

New label or ?
