Dannae Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Wonderful investment there Daniel, congratulations I am considering one myself for a future scope and have discovered that the rear lens element doesn't have to be removed for collimation if you use a 'Glatter type' barlowed laser.RegardsDannae Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swamp thing Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Seeing how easy it is to remove the lens elements to collimate I can't see me bothering with spending money on any glatter kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
