What company makes a bracket for the twin spotters?? And can ya get them for all different spotters?? Are they truly adjustable for eye width??
Take care, Willie
Im not aware of any company per/se currently making brackets for twin spotter setups. Most im familiar with are made by machinists who are also hunters. They are fully adjustable for
inter eye relief as well as for allignment. The design can vary
somewhat and can influence the size, weight,and cost. The angled
eyepiece scopes wont work in brackets. Reason being the scopes
are rotated in the bracket to allow for inter eye adjustment. Id
say most scope brands could be used in a bracket designed for it. Some however make for a pretty funky setup. Leica for example requires one scope to be mounted upside down in the bracket. Most scope makers today only offer zoom eyepieces for
their scopes. Kowa is an exception to that and still offers various power eyepieces. Most zooms dont work well in twin setups due to the difficulty in matching the power of each exactly. Im told Swarovski is an exception but i havent seen that first hand. Good eyepieces can vastly improve the scope
quality. Years back, probably in the 60s, Bausch&lomb marketed
their still excellant balscope as a twin setup and it was a
cataloug item. It was also offered with a rotating 3 eyepiece
turret. We still have several sets of those here in this camp.
The brackets and turrets were made for them by the Frank Meischner co. in Boston. He also sold them to the general public. When B&L discontinued the balscope, Meischner discontinued making brackets and turrets.
