I’m working on a click turret – well, it won’t be a click turret, it will be The Click Turret, with a complete set of features every shooter is dreaming of:
Resettable without any tools, by the thumb screw at the top
Snaps in to every clicks, and has got a safe contact with gears
Bottoming function, the lower ring can be adjusted in elevation
Fits onto the original knob so you won’t lose your reference zero
d=54 mm big turret with grooved edge, comfortable and easy-to-rotate
Enough space for the numbers’ strip (h=21 mm)
Pellet holder on the top for 12 pellets
Doesn’t leave grub screw marks on your scope turret
Lightweight design, suitable for springer shooters
Warm to the touch even in winter conditions
It will be available for many big FT scopes like Nikko, S&B, Sightron and so on.
This kit converts a standard Feinwerkbau P70 Alutec stock to a real Field Target stock, adding a fully adjustable offset grip and also elevating the rear part by 50 mm, according to the high mounted FT scopes. Also the original grip can be used (but without the offset feature). More photos, price and other details: FWB Stock Middle Parts ALU

The laser sintering is ready, the new parts arrived today. The stock stands of these four parts, because the maximum length is 310 mm (the longest part is exactly tat much). They are extremely strong, I tried to bend one but without any visible change.
The four pieces
The real connection will be at the bottom of the parts, a 30×10 mm aluminium alloy block will go through the first three parts, connecting them and also containing the accessory rail for the hamster. I made some buttons on the connecting surfaces and a couple of steel pins connect them, too.
How they connect to each other
How the whole stock looks like. The rear half is the usual ‘RaptoR’ style half circle, and the thumb-up grip of course. The other half has got a more curvy look than my earlier RaptoRs, this time I wasn’t limited by the CNC technology.
The whole stock
The cheek piece and butthook go into these holes on the right, the material is flexible enough to fix them when the screws are tightened. The grip holder allows shooting ‘thumb-up’ (this is the main reason why I designed this stock). These Nylon parts are 610 grams only, and even with the aluminium rail and the screws the stock will stay below 1 kg in weight!

This is a special version of the SmartPin Pointer, designed for my Schmidt&Bender scope. As we know, this scope model suffers from an extremely big temperature shift issue, every 10°C temperature change results 4.5 yards misranging on a 55 yds target! This means 8.5 mm shift on the standard S&B sidewheel.
I spent years with testing my Schmidt&Bender scopes from the hardest winter to the hottest summer, so I can make a precisely calibrated sidewheel strip for any difference. Recently, I’m using a 10°C scale with my SmartPin pointer and it works really fine, but I decided to design an Extra version for myself, which is calibrated to my Schmidt&Bender FT scope and has got some other extras, too.
SmartPin Pointer – S&B Extra version
I changed the scale so the distance between two main marks is 8.5 mm ( = 10°C on the S&B scope ), and this scale is on a removable plate, with another scale on the other side. The other scale is shifted by 4.25 mm ( = 5°C). This means, that I can use any sidewheel strip, calibrated to 0, 10 or 20, or -5, 5 or 15 degrees, the scale on the pointer will always fit to it, and the big marks show 0, 10, 20 etc. and every small mark means exactly 2 degrees. The scale covers 24 degrees, i.e. if the sidewheel strip is calibrated to 20°C, you can use the scope between 8°C and 32°C.
Side A – sidewheel scale for 5°C
Side B – sidewheel scale for 10°C

Because the illuminated reticle doesn’t leave enough space for a separate EagleEye Clicks Magnifier, I combined it with the pointer. Also this one will be a special version, with an acrylic lens instead of the standard Fresnel type lens.

Two of this pointer are being printed already, I’ll use one and the other one might be for sale.

RaptoR style stock for a Walther LG-300 Dominator – but this time made of laser sintered Nylon!
The stock stands of 4 parts, see them with different colours on the exploded view. A massive aluminium element connects them together on the bottom, this part contains the accessory rail as well. I designed also an appropriate scope rail for the rifle.
All RaptoR stocks allow thumb-up shooting, even with the grip in the centre line. The barrel is free floated, the clamp at the front only protects the barrel but does not touch it.
The stock will be sent out to the printers tomorrow…
And let’s see it in 3D, too:

The same comparison table, but this time with real photos of the pointers… (for the 3D visuals table of the pointers see Scope Pointer Comparison Table I.)
This pointer can help you to deal with scope temperature shifts, or eye fatigue, different environmental light conditions etc. Any of the pins can be removed so you can create your own pointer for your own needs.
This is the ultimate pointer, with a fine adjustment mechanism for temperature shifts, and double pins for additional corrections (light, fatigue etc.)
All of these pointers are made of high quality Nylon, nearly as strong as aluminium. The pointer pins, nuts and bolts all are stainless steel. You can remove or replace the pins with any <1 mm wire if needed. In three sizes, for 1″ (25.4 mm), 30 mm and 34 mm scope tubes.

And now some other photos where you can see the three scope pointer variations together: EasyPin, MultiPin and SmartPin
The new EasyPin and MultiPin scope pointers have arrived! Both of these are fixed pointers, with one pin and 5 pins. As usual, I designed them in 3 sizes for the common scope tube sizes: 1″, 30 mm, 34 mm. Now I’m going to dye them and the first orders will be sent out.
EasyPin + MultiPin scope pointers
The five pointers follow a slight arc so they fit to the radius of an average scope wheel.

This is how the stainless steel pointer pins are fixed. If it’s needed, you can replace the pins with any similar pin or wire up to 1 mm diameter. Notice the different depth of the hexagonal holes.
