Best source for K31 diopter sights?

[BigJ]

Hey ya'll, where should I spend my money on a set of Swiss Products diopters for my K31? Graf has the steel version, but I'd rather not spend with them if I don't have to (had a rough customer service experience a while back, and now it looks like they'v dropped my dealer/C&R status because I didn't make the $2k/yr minimum).

Any place else I should look, worth supporting? Anyone got a line on the aluminum version, if they're even still available?

Thanks for your time.

Thanks, but (1) coming from China concerns me and (2) they aren't the Swiss Products version. I'm looking first and foremost for the SP's.

Thanks again.

The Aluminum version is no longer made, you could ask Brownells if they are willing to order you one as they do sell SP articles.

Thanks Guisan, I'll reach out to Brownells tomorrow.

Thanks again.

+1, just wouldn't be right to put Chinese pot metal sights on a fine Swiss precision rifle.

Two other options. If you do call Brownells, ask for Joyce Prendergast. I'm not sure the regular sale staff would do that for you, but she knows me personally.

Option two: If you won't order from Graf's, ask Guisan to order it as a Drop-Ship.

Thanks zfk. I'd rather not inconvenience Guisan if I don't have to so I'll call Graf's in the morning just to see whats what. If that falls through I'll reach out to Joyce (what name should I mention when referring to you? PM me if you prefer).

[zfk55]

No need for a PM. It's Pierre

Gotcha, thank you again! (and good to meet ya )

[zfk55]

My pleasure.

Well good news: after a rocky start (again) with Graf this morning, I tried one more time this afternoon and got through to a very helpful lady who got me squared away. I placed my order and hopefully will have smooth sailing from here.

One more question if I may guys? The note on the product says the sight supports both German and Anschutz irises. Does that mean I need to supply my own in order to use the sights for the first time? Or does it come with something I can use, and later tailor to my preference (by swapping parts)?

[Guisan]

Nope for both, the irises are made in Germany just brands could differ because of cost...

[BigJ]

Good deal, thanks Guisan!

zfk55, latigo FYI: Brownell's special order department got back to me today saying they are "unable to do a special order with that company." I didn't speak to Joyce, so maybe she would have said differently?

Either way, I thought you might want to know since if that answer isn't right, you might be losing business because of it.

Thanks again for all the help.
