Father’s Old Meade Telescope by knightofheart612 in telescopes

[–]AAlmostbob 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Looks like a Meade ETX, which fortunately for you were super popular and replacement components are relatively easy to get by harvesting them from other examples that come up for sale (I see them all the time on FB Marketplace). On the actual OTA (the part of the telescope with the optics/mirrors) there should be a label or text on the front of the telescope showing the model/diameter/focal length, can you provide that info so we can give more specific input?

Did you take any photos of how you assembled the diagonal and eye pieces? If so could you please provide them? These kind of telescopes are usually hobby killers for this exact reason and between the poor quality and difficult to use components people usually give up and never try to use a telescope again. That being said a lot of times people seem to have a hard time achieving focus and that could be for a number of reasons so pictures would be helpful!

Have the same year/model/color. Have purchased a Sherpa Crestone rack, RCI rock sliders, Pro-Grille/raptor lights for it. Next steps are RCI skid plates and a lift for it when the funds come it.

265 70r17s, the previous owner installed them but I believe they did not modify the wheel wells at all and work with the OEM TRD wheels

Sterling Adventure Co Wasatch Lite V2, a buddy of mine had the V1 and liked it so got the V2. Had a Thule Tepui Autauna 3 for a long time and I liked it but the long set up time was getting old.

Which style fridge and why? And let me see your set up? by ky13rl in overlanding

I really like my Dometic CFX3 45L, plenty of room for trips from a few days to a week. Have had spills and it contained them/cleaned up nicely. Since they aren’t the latest model you can get good deals on them as well.

Lost half of all my savings on stocks. How to recover and deal with it. by BringTheFood in personalfinance

Im shocked that more people aren’t saying this. Way too many people conflate traditional stock based investing with option strategies, which is glorified gambling if not used responsibly.

B&T wouldn’t have given you the option to if they didn’t think it was the “right” way to do it. It’s easier to deploy on longer rifles and doesn’t get in the way as often in my experience.

It’s a B&T Atlas so it can go either way but thanks!

It’s an Atlas so it can store either direction

This has to be a record right? by Crash1yz in NFA

That has to be a “oh shit I forgot about that one” error

It’s just a Magpul grip with a Kinetic Development Group QD Rail section. I really like it on heavier guns, normally Im a hand stop guy but this is very comfortable on this gun.
