1/2" hole in middle of mounting pad. I have a milburn and used a piece of 1/2" althread cut to length and 1/2" nut and lock washer. Have had no problems at...
Be very careful with the length of bolt you use. My 10" LX 90 LNT requires a shorter bolt than is used on the 8" model. I had to cut the bolt back. Check how...

Hello sailor (!) Press and hold the Mode button for a few seconds. This should then bring up a submenu including focuser and reticle. Cheers, Peter ...

No. The PEC data is stored in a registered so that power down during SLEEP MODE will not lose the data. In a message dated 04-Sep-06 7:41:19 P.M. Central...

Thank you both for your responses. I've been leaving power On when sleeping the scope, and it does return to business the next night with deadly accuracy in...
Arrgh!!! I allowed myself to fall into the trap, again! The writer wrote Sleep so in my mind I replaced Park with Sleep which I should probably go get some ...
