Recently the adhesive strips that came with my Telrad deteriorated to the
point that they would no longer keep it secured to my scope. I tried using
some double-sided mounting tape, but this appears to be only strong enough
to hold the Telrad for a couple of days. I'm going to use some heavy duty
duct tape next, but I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions for a
nontape solution?
Two things I've done with different scopes:
I have one Telrad permanently mounted, using the screw holes in its
base. This is, of course, how you would normally attach conventional
finders, and it works great if you don't anticipate needing to move the
Telrad.
On another scope, I put rubber pads under the Telrad base to keep it
from slipping, and attached the base with a couple of Velcro straps (the
kind with hooks on one side and loops on the other). There's plenty of
space between the base and the Telrad for the straps. This setup is
remarkably solid, but very easy to remove or relocate.
