Hi John
Congrats on the new baby. As you may remember I purchased the same LS60 on the 19th June, had a window to test it for 1 hour and ever since it has been cloudy except this week when I have been away on holiday :(
So the jinx is a Lunt one not you :evil:

Congratulations John - Its such a cute little scope, but with that pressure tuner youll be blowing away anything youve done with a similar tilt tuned model. You can never go back.... B)

John I love mine! Its really amazing to see no sweet spots! Full focus from limb to limb! As I said earlier. Today I drove my buddy 4 hours to pick his up! He is in heaven with it now! But like me..... Clouds are ruining his fun! Enjoy that little beauty!

Youre gonna love it! I actually have mine on a vixen dovetail too.... Works just fine. My 127 is on a Los Mandy plate. My eq6 fits both? Strange.....
