[QUOTE="The Oregonian, post: 2814426, member: 51405"] How many folks have run into the issue of a scope power throw lever hitting the bolt? I am left eye dominant but right handed, and shoot pool, bows, and guns lefty. I have a handful of rifles, some LH and some RH. Have had Brownings in the past, have a few MOA Rifles LH and RH on their proprietary action, a Borden LH, and got a Defiance Deviant Hunter LH that is now giving me a problem. I have all NF scopes, 3 ATACR 4-16 and an ATACR 5-25. When I use the little screw in lever that NF provides it hits the bolt handle on one extreme, I forget which. But being a whitetail woods hunter I can’t give up full use. Without the lever it is more difficult to turn (meaning more time consuming), which I don’t like either. Sometimes you don‘t have much time in the field. The aftermarket power levers that are 3D printed don’t work well, and neither does a similar tool that NF used to make and cell…they slip some here and there. I called NF and they don’t have anything else to recommend other than wrapping tape around the power ring so that the 3D printed one will work. That’s the inexpensive way out but the thought of a $2k+ scope needs that needs a garage solution is kind of ludicrous IMO. I‘m going to use the scope for a while without the lever and see how I feel about it after getting used to it, but I may but a different scope if that doesn’t work. Curious to know if others have encountered this much. [/QUOTE]
