Mounting LS60 DS

[Davey-T]

Just got the Lunt LS60 DS and thinking it needs a better mounting, preferably tube rings, I mounted it using the tripod thread but then chickened out and took it off as I didn't like the idea of over £3000,00 of scope only supported by that little screw so are tube rings available and what are others using ?

I use a vixen porta ii, works a treat, pretty stable.

Nice and light weight for portability too.

I drilled a Vixen dovetail and attached it to the mounting point, once tight it is secure.  However, when I wanted to take my scope abroad I bought the genuine Lunt dovetail as it is smaller and lighter.  My Lunt 60 DS sits perfectly on the dovetail and the stock tube clamp on a Merlin mount.
