Farpoint Dovetail Ring Screws, Standard 1" Length (Set of 6)

Product Overview

A set of six standard 1″ adjustment screws for Farpoint dovetail rings — three per ring, which covers a matched pair. This is the length that ships with every Farpoint ring set, so it serves as the direct replacement when screws go missing and as a spare set for a second pair of rings. Made in the USA.

Who It's For

This is a good match if you own Farpoint dovetail rings and need to replace the adjustment screws, or if you are setting up a second pair of rings and want the standard length on hand. It also suits anyone whose current screws are the short .5″ or long 1.5″ version and whose tube diameter has changed since.

Key Features & Design

• Six screws per set: three screws per ring, which is a full three-point arrangement on each of a pair of rings.
• Standard 1″ length: the all-around length, and the one Farpoint includes with every ring set as standard equipment.
• Three-point adjustment: the arrangement centres a guide scope in the ring, holds it, and allows its aim to be trimmed.
• Fits both ring standards: the same screws serve Farpoint's D-style and V-style ring lines.
• Made in the USA: produced by Farpoint alongside the rings they fit.

Recommended Uses

• Replacing adjustment screws lost from an existing pair of Farpoint dovetail rings.
• Fitting out a second pair of rings for another guide scope or finder.
• Returning to the standard length after a change of guide scope tube diameter.
• Keeping a spare set in the accessory case for field repairs.
• Aligning a guide scope within its rings, where the three-point arrangement carries the adjustment.

Compatibility and Accessory Notes

These screws fit Farpoint dovetail rings in both the D-style and V-style (Vixen) lines. The rings themselves and any dovetail bar are separate purchases. Screw length is chosen by the gap between the guide scope tube and the inside of the ring: tubes sitting close to the ring's inner diameter take the short .5″ screws, much smaller tubes take the long 1.5″ screws for the extra reach, and this standard 1″ length covers the range in between. Farpoint does not publish a thread specification for these screws, so if you are matching them to rings from another maker, send us your ring model and we'll check it before you order.

Good to Know Before You Order

• Rings and dovetail bar are not included. This listing is the set of six screws on its own.
• A set covers two rings. Six screws is three per ring, so one set completes a pair rather than a single ring.
• The right length depends on your tube. The 1″ standard suits most setups; a very snug or very small tube in the ring is what pushes the choice to the .5″ or 1.5″ sets.
• Farpoint publishes a shipping weight of 2.313 lb for the set. That is the figure on the manufacturer's page, and it reads high for six screws of this size.
• Some gallery images show the rings. Farpoint illustrates this part with photographs of the ring sets it belongs to; the item supplied is the screws.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which screw length do I need?

It follows the gap between your guide scope tube and the ring. Tubes close to the ring's inner diameter take the short .5″ screws; much smaller tubes take the long 1.5″ screws for extra reach. The standard 1″ length covers most setups and is what ships with every ring set.

How many screws come in a set?

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

Is it difficult to install?

No tooling beyond hand adjustment is involved. The old screws back out of the ring's threaded holes and the new ones thread into the same holes, three to a ring. Bringing the guide scope back to centre afterwards is the part that takes the time, and it is done by feel with the tube resting in the ring.

Will they fit my rings?

They fit Farpoint dovetail rings in both the D-style and V-style (Vixen) lines. For rings from another manufacturer, send us the model and we'll check the thread before you order.

Bottom Line

In short: the standard 1″ adjustment screws that ship with Farpoint ring sets, supplied as a set of six — three per ring for a matched pair, fitting both the D-style and V-style ring lines.
