alt az fork mount I was impressed by the price and also the similarity to the much more expensive Tele Vie Gibraltar mount. It works just fine within the design parameters. That said it was struggling with a much heavier solid brass 102 ED Skylight f 7 scope. i fitted a old Tal Mount and its now rock solid.- (13/11/2024) Lincoln Leech - Preston Lancashire
