Thinking of the ATS-65 with the 25-50 ep (1 Viewer)

CSG,

Here's one set of legs for the Kowa 88.

You might think of this as overkill, but with a top-quality scope and high magnifications, there's never too much stability. I have been using an older version of this, model 830 which is similar but has three-section legs instead of four. Credit its solid construction and large-diameter legs, it is exceedingly stable and damps any vibrations in well under a second.

Thanks, Kimmo. Those are heavy! There *seems* to be a lot of choices for legs in the $500-600 range. I'm hoping to spend a little less but I agree with you that overmounting a scope is a good thing. Unfortunately, I have to do all my optics purchases over the internet so I never get to to see anything in person until the order arrives.
