Parralax is stiff so looked in box for manual and seen big side wheel though happy days put it on then realised I'm not gonna be able to get mag in with side wheel on anyone else come across this issue I'm using dr bobs top mount. Could do with one on as it's stiff to adjust while our and about

Well there are right hand mags for sale on the bay of evil, but if the scope's new just fit the wheel & spin it back & forth for 5-10 mins, you might find it smooth's out a bit.

Not sure I could use right hand mags as scope mount has a solid bit on that side where it clamps down to rifle?

The parallax does ease up but the main problem is that without the wheel the 10-50yd scale is impossible to read accurately if you're attempting to use it for ranging.

Considered the optional 50mm wheel but wasn't prepared to to buy one find out if it cleared the mag..

Myself?
I chopped the wheel, took nearly half off leaving adjustment to 100m

Sorry the only picture I have on the gun

Not a bad shout that could just cut it in half oils make room

[Squinty]

it's a more extreme option and not that pretty when it comes to selling it on.
It was a case of needs must for me.
R/H mag was another option but from experience with 7 shot mags... there's the risk of dropping the mag when shooting out of the drivers window... in the long grass... in the dark

Been there and done that before...
This is a Custom side-wheel for the Early Nikko-Sterling...
Just cut a section out for you mag to clear..


Also can narrow it a bit for clearance


Good Luck

Only other thing that comes to mind for more leverage is a breakaway coaster.
