Posting of negative comments in the Gunshop section could bring unwanted criticism on the forum, having said that it is important to let members know if dealings with a Gunshop were less than ideal for you. To that end we will allow what will be known as the 'Scotsgun Ruling'

The Scotsgun Ruling:

>Add Gun Shop here<

"As I've yet to have a 'positive' experience there, I'll refrain from commenting further."

Beyond that please take it up with the Gunshop, if you do resolve the issue in a agreeable manner let us know!

This rule applies to the entire forum.

Vortex riflescope shims

#1 Post by Hunterboy »

I’ve been phoning around trying to get some shims for a Vortex scope. Does anyone have a contact address/phone number for a supplier?
Many thanks in advance.....

Yes, it seems they have been discontinued or not stocked in everywhere I’ve tried. I was hoping there might be an enthusiast or two knocking them out for sale on his/her lathe.

I would have thought that shims were related to the rings and not the scope, however I believe that it is not uncommon for drinks can metal to be cut down and used as shims
