I noticed this beat up looking refractor with reflex finder on eBay:

Just wondering why no modern refractors designed for visual use come with reflex finders? - they seem like a good idea to me...

Those finders do no have a great FOV..

It is also the price.


IMO much better is RDF (https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Holographic-Laser-Sight-33mm-Scope-Reflex-4-Red-Green-Dot-Reticle-Picatinny-Rail/153075919022?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBI DX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649)...
