New Image - M5

Posted By Bill Byrd

Very nice Jose! I've always liked the way M5 is a little spread out compared to other GCs. Your pic captures that feeling very well.

TEXAS SPINEY LIZARD

Posted By Bill Byrd

I love those lizards!! I'm in TX too and I've always called them tree lizards since they resemble tree bark.

80mm Finder

Posted By Bill Byrd

Your 80mm looks great on the SM Floyd!

I love finders! Here's my set up on the 14.5" upper cage. 80mm (since replaced with a sweet Vixen 70mm guide scope) + Rigel + laser. Talk about balance issues!! shocked

A Cristen Triplet

Posted By Bill Byrd

Some early Cristen objectives were sold by Brandon in the 94mm and 5" size. Good early APOs. I had a 5" f/8 that I now regret ever letting go of. I'd love to have one of the 94mm as a travel scope!

The new Swan EPs have landed and I just ordered

Posted By Bill Byrd

Let us know how good it is. I'm curious how well corrected they will be in fast scopes. I have my eye on the 33mm if they are decent. Price is right!
