Throw Levers Compatible for Vortex Optics

Have to say, I have worked with this company’s customer service, and they’re awesome. I had a scope whose box was mislabeled, so naturally I got the wrong throw lever, they even looked up my scope and emailed me and said “we think you got the wrong box, we’re gonna send you what we think is the right size” they did, it fit, love them! That being said, at least on my power adjustment knob, the lever tends to slide around a little, sometimes totally off the knob, which isn’t the end of the world, just have to slide it back up onto the knob and back in business, but not something you want to be fussing with if seconds count, whether in competition, training, or the worst case. Overall, there’s not too many options out there, I bought this for a crossfire lpvo that is tough to find a throw lever for, and this does fit. I think if you want something that fits, to experiment with, and I think with some rubber lining glued to it, this could even be a great lever, but if you’re looking for the battle ready option, I think that mkm might have a generation or two of this product to go.

Ordered this for a Vortex 1-4x24 Scope, product arrived in a timely manner, packaged well, easy to install and well built, it provides a solid option for a throw lever. Price Point nice, quality product, very pleased..

Don’t get me wrong, this throw lever is probably perfect for range use, but I tried it on my truck gun, in my ranch truck, on my South Texas ranch. I doubt I’m the user this product was designed for, so my review is from real world, day to day use, on an actual work weapon. My truck gun is an AR platform SBR. It rides in my ranch truck daily. I use it to keep the coyotes and hogs from doin too much damage. I love the SBR and Vortex combo and it has served me very well over the years. I don’t guess the coyotes and hogs like it very much though. Sometimes it can take a little extra to zoom in for distance shots, so I figured I’d give this a try. Unfortunately, it’s not realistic for actual field duty. It gets snagged on absolutely everything. The throw leaver is too wide, too thick, and too long. I have no doubts that if you intend to use this on a range gun, that it will work beautifully for you. I’m just a simple rancher giving an honest review on a product for real work use in the field. In all honesty, it does indeed do its job well, it just gets in the way too much for real world weapon engagement. I had to take it off before it broke off. Any farmer or rancher will tell you the same thing. If you have a tool or a worker that works, but also tends to get in the way all the dang time, then it/they has to go. I still gave it 4 stars, because I’m quite sure that it works for 99 percent of the folks who order and use it. I’m just giving an honest review of the lever for my use.

Despite the complaints and negative reviews I read, this throw lever fits well for my Vortex scope. Individuals who are experienced and mechanically inclined know that you only have to tighten this lever enough so it stays on. The grooves mate with the scope magnification adjustment so there is no need to tighten beyond “just enough”. Just needs to squeeze onto the scope enough to not slip off. While I’m sure some of the reviewers experienced defective ones, I’m willing to bet that many just simply overtightened. Because you know, “tighter is better”, right? Not!Made in the USA and has a lifetime warranty. Can’t really go wrong.

Look, the price is materially lower than what you would be paying for brand name...or a knock off of the same material for that matter. So, you know that you are getting something different...or at least I did. Well, possibly it was because I have purchased throw levers for two other scopes which were made from laser printers. Both were sent back to the manufacturer...not even close.So, I rolled the dice on the MK thrower and I am too happy that I did. Shooting precision long range and need to toggle back and forth between a range where tight parallax adjustments are critical? The lever is key, and for brand name scope manufacturers, it just feels like another kick in the beanbag after shelling out criminal amounts of money for top-rate glass...which is what we do, because we know that expensive glass performs, and inexpensive glass creates more disappointments than prom night during the COVID era.Point being, these guys nailed it on my Vortex Golden Eagle. The raised lettering spelling out GOLDEN EAGLE is a bit ostentatious, but whatevs. I am shooting 3" groups at 700 yds...alone.

Not very good

I bought a few of these to test against some of the huge brands. I was looking for cheaper and lighter options and these seemed to be the answer. They are indeed lighter and obviously way cheaper than the scope brand throws. The size is slightly bulky in comparison, but I like it. I dont feel like it'll break when I'm cranking the zoom under duress. Only complaint would be the mounting system. I'd HIGHLY advise following the torque specification for tensioning the screw because I stripped the first one very, very easily.

This is a rough 3d print, unfinished. It fits well and it's strong enough to do it's job. A throw lever is not a mission critical piece and it's better for that to break when snagged hard. It's not pretty but it works. I'll probably get another one or two for my other Vortex scopes

I got the one for the Viper PST Gen II and it fits my Diamondback Tactical 6-24x50 perfectly. Good build quality. 3D printed. seems quite sturdy. CBSA held it at the border for no reason (had other shipments of things come in no problem) for a couple of weeks but it ended up coming through. Not the senders fault.Would buy again if I get another scope.
