Custom Scope Side Wheel
Hey guys if there is anyone interested in ordering a custom side wheel for the side focus knob here is a Eric Sanders 90mm wheel (also available in 4″ and 6″). I am ordering 2. Ville has expressed interest in at least one. If anyone else is interested we can get a group price. Individually the wheel would be $100 (90mm and 4″) and $15 for a custom fit hub for YOUR SCOPE. No universal loose fit. The wheels a very light weight (less than 1.5 ounces) and nicely machined goodness. Available in polished aluminum or sand blasted/mat black heat paint. I haven’t got the group price yet. Im hoping if we have at least 10 wheels we can get a good price. Post your interests or questions here. The top picture is a 90mm for a Delta Scope. The next 3 are 4″ models for the Bushnell and Hawke Scopes.
You can also get a custom tape made with yard markings.
Thanks
Dr. Steele

Yes I am in for sure unless we cannot figure out a fix for my issue. Thanks… I am thinking we have to go bigger on mine to land the levers in an open area of the wheel. just a little out spacing still will not clear when I unlatch, we’ll see what we can work out.
Yes you can still get in. I can send him another email. This price ($55) is for the 90mm, 4″, or 5″ offset. I see your problem with your scope…that is just the hub. When you order from Eric you can explain him your issue and he will just make the hub extend out enough to clear the obstacles…easy fix for him and it won’t cost extra. But…if you change the design or get a 6″ wheel then there more then likely will be an extra charge. Having said that, I think he will make some concessions due to our large (kinda large) order. Just say the word and I’ll email him your info as well. You will correspond with him directly before he makes anything so you can always politely back out of this buy if it’s not to your liking.

I just hit on an issue with the stock 4″ wheel on my hawke hitting the Burris QD flip levers, can I get in on this and see if he can make a little different offset to move the wheel and spokes out away from the scope a bit ?? I am also thinking a 5 or 6 inch diameter and simple 3 spoke would be nice after using it today. Let me know what you think.
Thanks everyone for your orders. I’m happy to report we are ordering a total of 12 wheels and 8 pointer rings from Eric and he is happy with this order! I’ll send you a PM when to contact Eric directly for your orders AND/OR ANY SPECIAL NEEDS OR ADDITIONS TO YOUR ORDERS.

I’ll take the offset in black for my Hawke Sidewinder Tactical 30 ,6.5-20×42.
PM sent to you
I’ll take another one for a Sightron and one for an Accushot. 😀 No flanges/lightening/knurling (smooth like the one in the photo) Eric should know what that means, silver (no paint or beadblasting). He has the Sightron wheel diameter and I can provide the Accushot one if needed.
The $55 now includes the 5″ offset wheel custom fit TO YOUR SCOPE!!!! There are 3 finishes available….all 3 are included in the $55 price. If anyone has ever been interested in getting a side wheel, I doubt there will be a better opportunity. We are already at 9 wheels…..my goal was 10 for Eric to give us this deal to make it worth his while.
Holy crap that is a good deal!!! 😯 😯 😯
Is this only for a certain scope wheel size?
Ok guys….I got an email from Eric just now. He will honor the $55 price for the 5″ offset wheel as well! I’m going to buy one just so I can compare the 2. The price is excellent… Last chance if you want one…PM me if interested.
Hey guys
I have asked Eric about the offset side wheel and am waiting on his email. This is a very slow correspondence endeavor, but I haven’t forgot about it.
I need a year to practice first then, I think I’ll try it. Bucket list.
I´ve heard and seen that before. Latest was just recently since two of my friends from the club decided to try it (FT) and now both are totally sucked into it. Must be really fun !!
I thought same. Did benchrest just to meet some great airgunners but first time I did FT I was hooked.
It fits right into a hunters wheelhouse and is a lot of fun.
You know I didn’t think I would ever do any FT, but I got to admit, after watching Extreme Benchrest I think it looks fun. Even if you’re 2nd to last place (nobody wants to be last) it at least sparks your competitive nature and improves your skills for the next year. I think I would try it.

Message from Eric for those interested in black finish. He wanted me to clarify….
“The black is applied with primer and then painted with a flat black that is then dried and baked on. It is not a powder coat. I looked at powder coating, but the metal showed through on the edges.”
