Custom Dot

Post by shooterxtc »

Does anyone still put larger dots in weaver scopes? I see T K Lee no longer accepts them because of health reasons.

shooterxtc,
I haven't used them, but I need to send in my T24 for a larger dot myself. . .
Optical Services Company - founded by Bill Ackerman - has a website and say they are still doing it.
phone number in NM is 915-740-4290 and their website is targetshooteroptics <dot> com

Good luck and let us know what you find out. I really do need to get mine out there too!

I'll second the recommendation of Optical Sercives. Bills daughter Sheryl is running the company now, and she is great to deal with. I sent her a Leupold scope that Leupold would not work on and she did everything I needed done.

Just received my weaver T-24 back from Optical Services this week. Had the factory 1/8 replaced with a 1/2. While I haven't installed on my rifle yet, I think I can see a significant improvement in ease of picking up the dot and am looking forward to sighting in this weekend and shooting a match in a couple of weeks

no, only fixed power Leupolds.

I see your son is taller than you already. Do you have a silhouette rifle for him yet?

This is good info. My question is manufacture warranty? My new Leopold FX-3 has 1/2 min dot, which is a huge improvement vs my old Sightron 6-24X42 SIL. If they made in 3/4 min dot, I would have gone for that. Down the road, I might need a 3/4 min dot.

I will check with both if could change to 3/4 min, just to have the info. Thank you for this current info thread/topic
