This focus wheel fits perfectly on my Leapers 30mm Accushot Riflescope 3-12X44. Installation was quick and simple. I am using it on an HW97KT air rifle for Field Target shooting. I have verified the range markings out to 36 yards and they are very accurate with my scope. With the extra leverage it is easy to reach up with just the left thumb and focus the scope.

I got one for my SWAT Mini 3-12x44 and I LOVE IT. Can't recommend it enough, makes focusing parallax a joy: it's so much fun find that puuuuuuuurfect focal spot, and makes you feel like a technical sniper while you're doing it.

I have 2 of these same combos, one on my Talon and one on my QB78 PCP. Love them.

I shouldn't have been surprised that the UTG wheel fit the Leapers scope. It's the same company with multiple brand names:

I put a strip of leather around my 2.5-16 Elite 6500 small side focus adjuster and used the smaller wheel on it. It went on with a little tension, I tightened up the grub screws and it is good to go. The wheel fit perfectly between the front and back mounts and the front mount even serves as a pointer. Not sure, but the smaller wheel my be 80mm as apposed to the 100mm ones I have on both of my Leapers compact 3-12 scopes.

Hey John,

MINI refers to the fact that it's technically a compact scope. It's not actually all that small by any means, but body/tube section is shorter than most scopes of that magnification. The 2-screw mounts cover pretty much the entire exposed tube.
Here's a picture for reference.
