From what I've seen of the 16" you will have to carry out all the mods made to the smaller brothers.
New collimation knobs for the secondary & primary are vital changes.
Stiffer springs, and because of these you can discard the locking pins.
These mods will turn a time wasting chore into a 1 minute wonder.
I had the end rings powder coated black, as all LB's have white painted areas in the light path.
The above changes are essential.
Essential accessories are a Light Shroud, Dew/Light shield.
I have added a optical finder instead of the red dot one that came with the scope (this is a personal preference)
The other accessories I've added are a dew heater for the finder (both ends) and for the main e/p.
The scope works a lot better than the factory delievered unit. All of the above EXTRAS cost about $200.
Cheers John.  |
I will need a written list of the things to perform, and where to get the parts, what they are and how to weave the magic, please John lead me to the promised land
