Rifle scope to spotting scope adapter

[joeb33050]

Sometimes I want to use a rifle scope as a spotting scope, so here is an adapter for external adjustable scopes-regular and posa mounts; and internally adjustable scopes with Weaver style rings. The messy Weaver mounts are my fault. Steve put my name on it to attach blame.
Adapter very nicely made by:
Steve Earle Products Inc.
24 Palmer Rd.
Plympton, MA 02367

I have pix, can't post here, can't figure out how. Will a knowledgable pix poster PM me? I'll send pix for posting.
This is a VERY handy adapter.
Thanks;
joe b.

I can put a 30X STS on it and use it for a 4 hour shooting session. Or, Weaver T36. I'm not cross eyed. If you don't like it, just don't look.

This would be a cheaper way to provide a mil or MOA reticle for your spotters view. Last I checked on spotting scopes with a reticle they aren't cheap. But it is definitely nice if using a spotter that they can provide accurate info.

I dont get it either. Seems like a good way to mess up a scope by putting it on and taking it off. I see what you are doing but I dont know why.

[joeb33050]

How about because I don't have a spotting scope with me? Here's a better question: Why am I answering you?

[yobuck]

Tell you what joe that old lyman would bring you $300 or more on ebay even though the recoil spring is missing.
Life would be easier for you if you sold that and used a small portion of the money to buy a spotter. Then you would be able to use the spotter
for other things also. like spying on your neibor in her bikini, maybe even checking out birds and other wildlife.

I get using the scope for a spotter. I just dont get taking it off the rifle. I am not condemning the practice or anything, i just wondered why you wouldnt just put the rifle on a bipod. Didnt mean to offend you or anything.

OP showed what he had, others gave their opinion, OP doesn't like the responses and is starting to get testy.
Thread closed before I have to start issuing infractions for rudeness.
