Years ago these were pretty common for converting Leupold/Redfield dovetail bases into quick detachable.

Does anyone here know where I might find a few?

JBrown,

I don't know any source for actual Pilkington levers as made/sold by Phil Pilkington. I think that the Meier Works Quick Turn Lever Conversion is the closest thing available.

I wish to hell someone would make something like that for Ruger factory rings. I've got some Warne QR, but damn they're bulky, ugly and not available in low height. Really sucks. I know all I need is a stubby driver but levers are so much easier.

I am thinking of having a few made up if I can't find them. I would thing you could have a lever made for the Ruger.

You might try Roger Biesen. He puts these on mounts all the time, but I dont know if he sells them by themselves.

I'll have to talk to Roger Ferrell about this. He may have done this before, or may have an idea about what it would take. I'll get back to you on it when I can talk to him.
