[COLOR="Purple"]Hey Rick!
Nice ride! I've had a PT for 3 years and it's a good "scope hauler".

Here's a pic with my 18.75" scope loaded up.

My first ATM project

Posted By Bill Byrd
[COLOR="Purple"]She's a beauty Jim! Post a "first light" report for sure...here, there...anywhere. Just let us know where it is.

I'd suggest one addition for your scope, based on how well it works on mine and on others scopes: Dark heat shrink on the truss tubes. Makes them dark, feels better on the hands than bare metal and keeps the poles from "clanking" so much in transit. I can't imagine anything else on my truss tubes now.

Here's a pic of the shrink being applied to a tube.
Great scope!
