How to get the CDK 12.5 on the GM 2000 without any problems?

How clever is that? Never thought about it with my C11 which is becoming really heavy now to lift over my head to slide on the G11 dovetail.

Want me to tell you what he said about YOU when we met last weekend? Rethink your ban (for a $100 silence bribe)

I have it inside parallax rings with top and bottom bars so no problem grabbing it. It's lifting on my shoulder then doing an épaulé-jeté while aiming for the rail profile to slide it in. So far I got lucky but it's getting harder.

Ha yeah that would be easier. I like this idea of moving the mount into it. I'll have to work it out, or get some roadies.
