Aim Assist Scope Throw Lever for Vortex Strike Eagle 1-6x24

To begin I want to say the customer service from this company is beyond phenomenal.When I originally received the product it was the old 3D printer version. Mind you this version was still a very nice product but not what I wanted. I contacted the owner and had an immediate reply. He had the proper aluminum sent right away. No fussing what's so ever. So big shoutout to the owner!Now I received the proper new aluminum version. It is a very snug fit. And the matieral feels much stronger sturdy enough to be truly worked hard. Which makes turning through the magnifications very easy!!In the photos below. The aluminum will be on the left and the 3d on the right for comparison.The aluminum is thinner all around compared to the old version giving it a much sleeker look. But the point is still thick enough for a positive contact during a quick scroll.Will give an update after a few matches.

This product is a bit on the chunky side and made of an odd feeling plastic. It just barely clears the receiver on my rifle. Someone mentioned that it is probably 3D printed, and it does not feel like it will hold up to the knocks and bangs of 3 gun for more than a season or two. It does fit well and does its job, and that you can get it in other colors is nice. If this were 15 or 20 dollars cheaper I would recommend it, but at the current price ($40) I would suggest that folks go with the metal one from Vortex with their lifetime warranty. Buy once, cry once.

The product images don't really show how poorly this was generated -- this was definitely 3D printed. We've used 3D printers at my business for a few years and while I'm by no means an expert, I'm seeing wide product extruder marks and soft detail edges tha suggest it's printed from a very basic CAD model or a entry-level consumer system. That's not necessarily a bad thing but I was honestly expecting something more professional-looking for the price. It does not appear to fit my setup without a bit of grinding or an oversize picatinny riser. Without knowing if it was 3D printed solid or with a hollow/minimal interior, I'm afraid to take away any material. The lever feels very flexible; almost gummy.I plan to seek a refund.

UPDATE: Aim Assist contacted (before I wrote this review) to let me know that they had an inventory mix up and that they would be sending the correct item. If I do, in fact, receive the correct product, I will change my review accordingly. In the meantime, here's the old review...Pros: It arrived quickly.Cons: If I could give it 0 stars, I would. The item description claims it's machined out of aluminum. It's not. Nope! It's a 3D printed part.1. If it says it's aluminum, it should be aluminum.2. For the price you pay, it should be aluminum.3. If you want it to last, it should be aluminum.I highly doubt this was an accident. I'm not fond of bat-and-switch tactics. I hope reviews like this keep others away. These frauds don't deserve your money.

I like it, but I had to modify it because it interfered with the mounting rings for the scope I use on that rifle. It works OK now.

I had to really compress the ends together for the threads to engage on my Vortex scope.

Can't say enough good things about this company. First throw lever they sent me was too bulky at the bottom to allow the scope's adjustment. I mentioned this, and they sent me their second generation, which works like a charm. Light and sturdy. What great attention to customer base!

Couldn't be happier with my new strikefire scope. The throw lever makes it that much better. Throw lever is a quality product. I will purchase again for my other Vortex scopes for the ease of changing magnification. I'm spoiled now!!
