Whats your favorite?

I think my favorite is: NONE. I have the Leupold style on a scope I bought and it will likely come off. Just seems to be a case/scabbard snagger!

Agreed for sure

Hmmm. Might just follow suit

Especially their design. It seems like it would just be for a target shooter. It’s long and pointed at the end. Snags too easily on stuff. I thought “oh this is cool!”, and then yanked it off after one hunt lol. Just totally unnecessary for a hunting application

To actually answer the question MK Machining makes some pretty slick throw levers. I don’t own Leupold scopes but have a couple on Razor LHTs. Makes it nice and easy to crank the mag when it’s freezing out and you’re gloved up. Almost a necessity on the LHT in cold weather. Also mine spend plenty of time in scabbards and zero issues because on the lowest mag settings it hugs against the rifles/scopes profile, see pic.

That is honestly super slick dude. That was the issue, on the lowest mag setting the Leupold one would stick way out.

I have the same MKM lever on my vx6, doesn't stick out any more than my bubble level. Definitely a plus in cold weather.

Throw levers are 100% a must for me on any scope now that I've used them for a few years. Makes it so easy to change mag while looking through the scope. I've used the Leupold one on a VX-5 and a VX-6 and haven't had any complaints.
