I have a handful of Leupold 2x7x33 scopes and while they are outstanding in all aspects (IMHO), the power ring on every one of them is almost impossible for me to turn. My web search of this issue turns up tons of complaints about this. Some say the scope was returned to Leupold and sent back to the owner saying it was "fixed" but the owners say it's exactly as it was originally. So, do any of you guys have these scopes, do you have this issue and are any of you using a throw lever? If you're using a throw lever, what brand is it?
Edited to add.....
These guys offer several different sizes. 1.375" is their smallest and I believe that measurement to be the largest diameter that it will engage/mount on. I measured my scopes power rings at 1.290" .... a difference of .085" so less than 1/10th of an inch so it should work. Unfortunately this particular throw lever is backordered and that makes me wonder if it's because it's in demand for this particular scope.

THROW LEVERS BY SIZE
Select a throw lever from the drop down menu by the size you need. These levers will fit diameters -.01" under to +.02" [-.3MM +.5MM] over nominal diameter. So a 1.73"/44MM lever will fit a 1.72/43.7MM to a 1.75/44.5MM diameter. If you try to go to small from the nominal selected lever there is...
