... So I noticed I had to lean the Leica against a tree to steady it. "Nope, I'll fix that when I get back to the shop". That was yesterday, and today the 'ghost mount' is already in one of the 3D printers 💪 It's not gonna act exactly like aluminum ... meh, the shop says I get impatient. 🤷 Now that I know what I want ... I want it now. Yeah, it's upside down, but I can read 757 yards upside down. More of this adventure to follow ... ML

bredfearn79 My thoughts on this. Have you seen the jaws that these millennial selfie sticks use? What you should think of doing is an accessory attachment for your scope mounts that will incorporate this style of mounting bracket to hold a range finder. It will allow for a wider range of range finders like my leupold rx-1200 tbrw 1 like
jdg0707 How will you get it to grip the range finder? 3 likes
- laruetactical @jdg0707 ... On this 3D model, I'm gonna use the double-backed tape we toolmakers use to hold workpieces to grinding tables. Like I said ... I'm impatient 🤷 5 likes
- chawthorne07 @laruetactical eventually have screw holes to utilize belt clip mounting holes?

continuouslyoutdoors It's not true distance from the muzzle. Not going to be accurate😂 1 like
- laruetactical @continuouslyoutdoors ... I'm gonna make it drop on and be aiming at what the reticle is aiming at. "Push button" accuracy 😎
- continuouslyoutdoors @laruetactical it must be nice to have a full machine shop. I could come up with all kinds of crazy stuff. I imagine there is a large investment of money somewhere along the way that I seem to lack though.

thirtythree_three @laruetactical there is a huge gap in a limited market for Leica rangefinder mounting options. They have a half-ass tripod mount thay could use the LaRue Treatment, too.

sorentheswede Are you by any chance a southpaw? Because I fail to see how you would otherwise be able to get behind your scope with your nose pressed into the Leica (unless you're using a scout scope with ample eye-relief). 1 like

cmartina1 I always thought it would be a good idea for range finders to come with female threads like a camera or spotting scope. Plenty of adapters and after market parts to mount to gun, scope and bow that way. 2 likes

- laruetactical @katiemgodfrey ... dot com version ✅ Will need my Marine to set me up on a Kestrel. Todd Hodnett showed her how to run a Kestrel first night in elk camp ... the next day she whacked that bull at 652 yards. Kids. I spent my childhood chasing a 500 yard groundhog shot, and she does it Day 1, while yawning. 😎 1 like
