Hey all, i'm wanting to change the finderscope on my telescope. the current finder mounts to the telescope via 2 screws protruding from the side of the scope and are held there by 2 bolts. Now, this isn't bad, but the actual finder is shocking, a slight bumb and its outta alignment.

i'm curious as to weather this 2 screw/bolt arangement is common on telescopes? Also, since i'm looking at moving to a red dot scope for the finder is there a particular mount, if any, that i need to get in order to attach it to the side of the scope, eg the red dot scope i know has to mount to a picatinny base, but is there a mount that the picatinny base sits on, or will I have to make one?

Thanks all

Nick
