Product Overview
The all-around length — the same screws that ship with every Farpoint ring set.
A set of six standard 1″ adjustment screws for Farpoint dovetail rings — three per ring for a pair. These are the screws included with every Farpoint ring set, so this set is the straight replacement if yours go missing, or a spare set for a second pair of rings. The three-point arrangement centers your guide scope in the ring, grips it securely, and lets you fine-tune its aim.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which screw length do I need?
It depends on the gap between your guide scope tube and the ring. Tubes close to the ring's inner diameter need short .5″ screws ; much smaller tubes need 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.
Will they fit my rings?
These screws fit Farpoint dovetail rings — both the D-style and V-style (Vixen) ring lines. Rings and dovetail bar are not included.
