Handle with 6.3" Spacing for 1/4-20 Threaded Holes, Ideal for Stowaway or 110/130 Refractor (63HANDLE)
Brand : Astro-Physics

- 63HANDLE
Hey! Do you want a hand with that scope?
Our CNC machined handle can help you safely tote your Stowaway or Starfire 130 GT / GTX with great elegance and security. The handle attaches to the center hole at the top of our scope rings (early rings may not have a center hole). Our dovetail plates to which the scope rings attach on the underside have a 6.3” front-to-back spacing when used with the above-mentioned scopes. This matches with the handle beautifully.
Our larger scopes normally use our larger 13.75” front-to-back ring spacing. However, they can also use the handle, but will require a dovetail plate spanning the top of the rings. You will attach the handle and secure the screws with a washer and ¼”-20 nut (neither supplied) to the plate via the center pass-through holes.
Having a handle makes for a secure grip when installing and removing your scope to and from your mount. It is a real advantage in the cold winter when wearing gloves. Brrr!
Note that if you store your scope in its case after every use, the handle may not fit. Also know that this handle is clear anodized giving it a silver appearance.
Other uses: This handle is included with our 6" Eagle Adjustable Folding Pier (EAGLE-EZ). If you own one of the original EAGLE piers or aluminum pier post, you may drill the appropriate holes and secure the handles with a nut on the other side. Be sure that you determine the center of balance when locating the handle.
