Cheers, Richard.

A Telrad is arguably the reference in 1x RDFs but also a very bulky device that does exactly the same as other types of less fancy red dot finders that cost half as much and are much smaller. Again, the classifieds is your friend (if you can afford to wait a little).
Cheers Mirko for the reply. $232 is a lot of money. I will defs keep an eye out for a 2nd hand RACI. Wish NZ had some good classifieds, I have been keeping an eye on trademe but I just need to be patient like I was with the dob. Im not very patient though lol.
