I like my Celestron 20x80 binos, but I have wanted a finder for them for a long time. I had an unused red-dot finder gathering dust, and I seriously considered using duct tape. But a friend in the local club came up with the idea of using bulldog clips. I modified his design slightly. Here is my version.
If you decide to replicate this idea, be warned that the hard part is drilling the spring steel clips. You will need a very hard drill bit. My friend used cobalt. I used titanium. A regular steel bit just isn't going to do it.

Good idea Kathy!

Good ideas are always appreciated, thank you. This looks to be a very usable suggestion.

So awesome! Thanks for sharing the idea, Kathy!

Nicely done Kathy, that's impressive! I hear you on the drill bit on hardened steel such as that. A bit of duct tape for me helps keep the bit from "wandering"!!

Bet targets are easier to sight now

All the best,

I'd like to do that on my 15x70s, but there's no center rail. Have to get into MacGyver Mode.

Addendum: Forgot about this puppy:

That is a great idea Kathy!
