divelong Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Does anyone know of a magnification throw-lever that will fit the new Bushnell 1-6.5's? I have no frame of reference or dimensions on the other Bushnell models. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kampr Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 While it's not perfect, it works! MGM's SVM APT - Switch View Lever, Mueller APT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbrowndog Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 you need to ask MGM that one!! Trapr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
45shooter Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 I used an MGM made for millet. They make two the larger one. I then cut a small ring of mouse pad to out under lever to take up small amount of extra space. Not perfect but works fine till specific one is ready Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
divelong Posted May 25, 2012 Author Share Posted May 25, 2012 Just spoke to Kevin at MGM and got an update. I've measured the adjustment ring diameter on the new Bushnell 1-6.5x at 1.672". As yet, they've not had enough demand to warrant making a Switchview for this scope. They have an existing product for the Bushnell 4200 series that is 1.655" (as referenced above, it is in fact the model SVMAPT). This is the closest thing they have to a fit for the 1-6.5, and will require some lapping to open it up. I just ordered one and will post an update when it's been tweaked to fit. Also, the next generation of the Switchviews will have a shorter throw lever. For anyone interested, the scope is a winner. divelong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaster Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 I have a Bushnell 1-6.5X backordered. Just want to double check that the illuminated reticle is daylight visible on sunny day. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickpony Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 I was told that I'd have a workable switchview for the Bushnell 1-6.5 by Iron Man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
45shooter Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 I used the switchview for one of the millet scopes. It is a little big but with a small strip of mouse pad under lever it works fine. At least until one made for it is available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
