    So I want a couple of the S1 dials and wondered where guys are getting them from off shore ?
    Have made local price enquiry also.
    But want to decide if its worth the hassle of getting from overseas !

    Want to breath new life into existing low tech scopes.

    They are a great way to breathe LR capability into a faithful old Leupold

    And lastly the MOA graduated dial


    I have been testing it on a factory model 7 in 7mmsaum, 140bt@3200fps, 19 inch barrel.

    Its dialling well to 1000yrds -so theres usable life in those old VX-1 Leupolds !!!!!

    Ps: i had a very early VX-1 here a month ago and this dial system did not fit it, the slot in the scopes elevation shaft was too low for the cap to drive into, so it seem only the later VX-1 scopes benefit from this system, and every other later VX model.
    What powder are you using in your 7 saum for that velocity?

    Welcome Fragment, feel free to introduce yourself

    But these are a great and cheap option for a VX scope if your wanting to dial.
    I got mine with out zero stop ball bearing but a 2mm does the job.
