Farpoint Dovetail Ring Screws, Long 1.5" Length (Set of 6)

Product Overview

This is a set of six long 1.5″ adjustment screws for Farpoint dovetail rings — three screws per ring, enough for a pair. Farpoint rings ship with standard 1″ screws. When the tube being carried is much smaller than the ring's inner diameter, the standard screws can run out of travel before they reach the tube; the 1.5″ set closes that gap so the three-point adjustment still centres, holds and aims the tube. Made in the USA. The set fits both the D-style and V-style Farpoint ring lines. Rings and dovetail bar are sold separately.

Who It's For

This is a good match if you…

• are carrying a guide scope or small tube in rings sized well above its diameter
• find the standard 1″ screws bottoming out in the ring before they contact the tube
• own Farpoint D-style or V-style dovetail rings and want the optional long screw set
• are keeping a spare set of longer screws on hand for a changing guide scope

Key Features & Design

• Six screws per set: three per ring, covering a full pair with three-point adjustment on each.
• 1.5″ length: the longest of the three Farpoint ring screw lengths, adding reach for undersized tubes.
• Fits both ring lines: the same screws work in Farpoint D-style and V-style (Vixen) dovetail rings.
• Three-point hold: the trio of screws in each ring both clamps the tube and sets its alignment within the ring.
• Made in the USA: thread form and length consistent across the set.

Recommended Uses

• Mounting a slim guide scope in rings originally sized for a larger tube
• Adapting an existing Farpoint ring set to a smaller finder or refractor
• Aligning a guide scope within oversize rings where the standard screws fall short
• Keeping a full-length spare set alongside the standard screws for rig changes

Compatibility and Accessory Notes

These screws are made for Farpoint dovetail rings and fit both the D-style and V-style (Vixen) ring lines. They are replacements for the ring's own adjustment screws, not general-purpose fasteners. Farpoint offers three lengths for these rings: short 0.5″ for tubes close to the ring's inner diameter, standard 1″ as the all-round length included with every ring set, and this long 1.5″ set for smaller tubes needing extra reach. Rings and the dovetail bar they sit on are not part of this listing. If you are unsure which length suits your tube, tell us the ring size and the outside diameter of the tube and we'll confirm which set to take.

Good to Know Before You Order

• Screws only. The set contains six screws. Rings and dovetail bar are sold separately.
• Farpoint rings. The screws are cut for Farpoint's ring thread; rings from other makers may use a different thread or head.
• Ring sets already include screws. Every Farpoint guide scope ring set ships with standard 1″ screws, so this long set is an addition rather than a replacement part in the usual sense.
• Length choice depends on the gap. The 1.5″ length suits tubes running well under the ring's inner diameter; tubes close to that diameter are served by the short 0.5″ set.
• Published weight. The set is listed at 2.313 lb.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it difficult to install?

The existing screws thread out of the ring and the longer ones thread in, using the same threads. No tools beyond the ring's own hardware are involved.

Which screw length do I need?

It depends on the gap between the tube and the ring. Tubes much smaller than the ring take these long 1.5″ screws for extra reach; tubes close to the ring's inner diameter take the short 0.5″ screws. The standard 1″ length covers most setups and ships with every ring set.

How many screws come in a set?

Six — three per ring, enough for a pair of rings with three-point adjustment on each.

Will they fit my rings?

They fit Farpoint dovetail rings in both the D-style and V-style (Vixen) lines. Rings and dovetail bar are not included.

Are the rings themselves included?

No. This listing covers the six screws on their own.

Bottom Line

In short: six long 1.5″ adjustment screws, three per ring for a pair of Farpoint D-style or V-style dovetail rings, made in the USA for tubes that run well under the ring's inner diameter.
