Best I could do was 37mm and was about to order that and a 28mm-37mm step-up ring when I thought about trying the red dot manufacturers for assessory filters. Found that Ultradot's filter for their 30mm tube is available as a separate item. Ordered one from www.ultradotwest.com (on parts page). Came in today and it screwed right on...just like it was made for it. $9.95 postage paid.

The adjustment ring is a snug (but no too snug) fit so it is unlikely to change due to recoil. Testing tomorrow.
Sometimes it pays off to go right back to the source instead of trying to cobble aftermarket part for 3 times the cost. Glad to see you found what you really wanted.
You have great day and shoot straight and may the Good Lord smile on you.

Never too old to learn. Even this old dog can learn from his mistakes.

By the way, that's one fine lookin' dog.
