On the 3-gun competition circuit, you get to see a lot of different gear used by other competitors. Shooters frequently swap tips and tricks, and naturally you want to have stuff you don’t have. I’ve seen a number of 3 gunners use the MGM Switchview scope lever to quickly transition magnification between targets. Here’s a closer look.

The MGM Switchview on the author’s Leupold Mk-6 1x6x20mm CMR-W scope. The scope is at 1x with the lever at the 9 o’clock position.

Each Switchview lever is made of 6061/T-6 aluminum and is CNC cut for precision fit. Even though the lever is not very big and is very light, it feels solid and should be able to handle the stress of my 3-gun needs. Installation is very simple. The Switchview splits in two halves, and you just screw them together.

They are compatible with many popular scope manufacturers such as Burris, GRSC, Horus, IOR Valdada, Leupold, Millet, Mueller, NightForce, Schmidt-Bender, Trijicon, US Optics, Vortex, Weaver, Zeis and many others. They have a compatibility chart and if you don’t find your scope listed, just give MGM a ring and they’ll see what they can do for you.

I’m very excited to run the MGM Switchview in my 3-gun competitions.
