Source to replace wing nuts with levers.

Hi all,

I have a side mounted scope on my rifle that uses wing nuts to hold the scope rings to the mount. I am looking for levers to replace the ugly wing nuts. I looked at the Brownell's catalog and found one lever to replace Leupold and Redfield screws for a turn in mount I guess, so that will not work. I guess I am looking for a lever that I can drill and tap to the correct size. Anyone know of undrilled levers?

I would love to use a Warne type lever that could be ratched into the final resting position. Can Warne levers be purchased seperately? I quess I need to call Warne about that option.

That's for reading my ramblings.

Thanks for your response, Tom. It does not look like a popular item. After checking how the Warne levers work, I will see if I can get a pair from them.
