Hawke Sidewinder Side wheel

[Biagio26]

Hi Guys
Does any one know, where I can find a sidewheel for the Hawke Sidewinder scopes?

The one that comes with is too thin, and I'm looking for a sidewheel that is a little bigger.

Please let me know if there is a better alternative out there.

Thank you very much

Biagio

Rowan Engineering makes quality side wheels. If you like the wheel and price contact Rowan Engineering before placing an order. For the Hawke scopes with IR Rowan makes a custom wheel. Wait time was about week longer for the IR cut out, they did not charge extra.

The cricket above has a 6"(150 MM) Rowan wheel. If I were to buy another wheel it would be the 5"(125 mm). Thickness is about twice as thick as the 4" Hawke side wheel.

An idea I came up with that works well is a PVC adapter. A two inch PVC flange has an inside dimension of about 2 and a shy 3/8" using the Hawke sidewheel it fits nicely inside. Using a 4"to 2" reducer the OD is about 4.5" A 6" adapter can be used also. I had a supply of old fittings, spray painted it black then used silicone to secure. I got the idea from someone that adapted a 6" toilet flange and machined a hub to fit their scope

Thanks Sam
I have a Rowan Wheel on my Big Nikko, and it works great. I did not know they made one for the Sidewinder.

That wheel on your rifle looks great.

Another source for wheels and turrets, which might be better if you are in US, is Eric Sanders. He does great work, offers a range of sizes and designs, and in addition does custom work at very reasonable prices. His web site is below. Rowan is also great, but based in UK.

I know this is an old post but Dmpc3d Printing Services makes some for a lot of different scopes also and they are light weight for anyone looking in the future.

I don't write on my side wheel and don't worry about how wide/narrow it is. Instead, I have a piece of metric tape measure secured around the 4 inch wheel with Goop (Shoe Goo or silicone caulk would work too). Because the metal tape is stiffer than paper tape it can be wider than the wheel without worry about it folding over. Measure yardages, focus, record tape readings, shoot, record POI's and I'm set.

I have a round wheel from scope-werks for my sidewinder. I highly recommend it. Nice looking and good quality

Another option for a custom 3-D printed side wheel is jdscustomdesign.com
JD does great work and now has a removable magnetic side wheel design! Check him out.
