There was a review on here lately which did not rate this finder highly. Have you used it at night yet? I find that finders are often a very personal choice. I love my Rigel, but others do not. Thanks for posting.
just arrived today so not tried it at night but it is easier to see the reticles easier to align and brighter than my rigel.i only use the reticle finders now for finding objects i dont even use my raci.

Hi again everyone,my new finder arrived today as stated above,this is a great finder which unlike most red dot finders is not a red dot it has the same 2 circles as my rigel finder but goes alot brighter so i can align it during the day,it is all plastic but feels very well made,it is very light at 5oz,142g which is great for balance with my 130p-ds on my heritage mount, it also has a 40mm viewing window which is so much easier to see the reticles,at £29 it is also cheaper than a telrad or rigel and to me looks so much better.i have posted a couple of photos of it next to my other finders for scale and on my ota.rigel,telrad or this the choice is yours but imho this is a great finder.

Another thing i found was the bolt through the base has alot of slop when you dont have it tight enough but when you tighten to much you find it stiff to push so i took it apart and wrapped ptfe round the bolt so its a snug fit in the big black spacer that the bolt goes through and ptfe wrapped round the big black spacer which is a snug fit in the base hole and the top hole.now i have no play with the bolt and can loosen it more so it moves smoother.

Hi fozzie yes i have put the metal dovetail base on and it has made it so much more rigid.i do not like that multi reticle finder anyway there is not enough movement lett and right to align it without putting the finder shoe at an angle,they are made for gun sights and thats were they should stay
