You'll be wanting the dew shield for it for sure as it's the first thing to start gathering dew.

I understand the Telrad is made to a price and it works for 99.9% of users, and without trying to "over-modify" the product, I wonder if the acrylic screen was replaced with a thinner version, would that improve it? but I'm just thinkingout aloud here, from one who tinkers in the shed a lot! This might be an experiment for a spare weekend?
