Rings have arrived...

OK, so I have the rings now (see attached). They're very good for the price I think. Much better than the scopestuff ones look for only $10 more. Certainly no problem with rigidity or anything.

It's going to take some getting used to using a 6 point ring system though, something I hadn't realised. I've only ever used a small finder scope 6 point ring system before. Adjusting these last night a bit I realised how tricky it can be to keep them tensioned enough to hold the scope from sliding down and out the bottom, but losening them enough to move the scope around in direction. Hmm.

It's almost like the scope needs little shoes/sockets that the 3 pins of each ring would poke in to, to give it some movement without the risk of it coming free.

I'm hoping they don't end up a pain to use in the dark.

Roger.
