C5 SC - ANYONE KNOW OF A STANDARD VIXEN-TYPE FINDER SHOE THAT WILL FIT?

[paulastro]

I have bought the spotter version of this scope recently from a fellow SGL member and I want a Vixen-type finder shoe to replace the one supplied that holds the 6×30 finder close to the tube.

The two holes on the curved tube are 3cm apart, I tried a WO shoe I had knocking around and it doesn't fit - its base is straight away.  Anyway know of a suitable replacement that they know will fit?

Many thanks.

Yes, I bought one for my C8, it’s a baader model.  Got it from Flo if I recall.

Just took these images quickly, but I will try and dig out more info if required...just let me know.

Many thanks that's great, no need to send further info, I'd found this on FLO and thought it might be a contender so I'll order one.

Many thanks for the quick response and taking the trouble to send some pics 🙂.

Good news is that as well as the curved base, it has slots rather than holes so that the screw separation can be allowed to vary.  Clever design.

👍 It sounds perfect!
