Those look very nice and very well made for the cost.

Interesting. How does it fit all scopes if it's made out of aluminum? Wouldn't it only fit certain diameters? Or is it just thin enough that it will flex to accommodate any diameter?
I just put a Breakaway Coaster on my TAC 30 tonight. Works well, and it fits everything. It's plastic so it's probably not as durable as the MGM, but it's dirt cheap: http://www.amazon.com/Breakaway-Nylon-Coasters/dp/B009SPDU3C |

I would bet that there are guys who use some sort of new age plastic for spacer material under the aluminium models to get them to fit the in-between stuff? Surprised the manufacturer hasn't caught on and offered some sort of spacer inserts, which would surely be more practical than trying to eventually make a perfect fit for every size ring to hit the market.

Ok, now I see - the Universal fit one is made from Polymer, so it will flex:

So what's up with the delay? Did anyone else get that email?

Yeah, not too happy, but I don't anticipate any need for it in the next few weeks. Offset irons are working well for now.

These are not to be found on their website.
Project discontinued or are they waiting until they have sufficient product to post? |

Well the website is down and I have no record from them about my order...
Edit: They contacted me really quickly after I emailed them my displeasure. They said the expected receipt of the first switchviews is March 28th. |

I ordered two 3 packs back in December. I've emailed a few times looking for an update, with no response. Last communication I had said they hoped it would be end of January, but likely mid February.
I'll ask for one more update, then a refund... |

I had a upcoming match, the "breakaway coasters", the fishing rod pieces work great. |

MGM Switchview Eagle Eye I am seeing them for $25 were they on sale or just thought it was priced too low? The $15 plus shipping price tag was for pre orders. Mine was ordered back in mid December so I did have wait a bit. Came in the mail yesterday and got it mounted it up today. Seems great for the money and fits on my MTAC nicely. Thanks MGM |

Received mine yesterday, got it installed today.
It looks good, operates well. Cannot wait to go put it through the paces. Got to wait, though, it's raining in SE Texas.

They were passing them out at the Montana Multi Gun Championship this year. I still haven't installed mine but It will be going on one of my hunting rifle.
They look like a simple solution that up until has been over looked. Of course I did see one of our local shooters come up with a "field expedient method" by using just a regular hose clamp on his scope. Seemed to work for him but it looks like what it is, a hose clamp. |
