Post by: stew pidasso on June 11, 2016, 06:50:19 PM: Well I think it's already tapped I just can't get the cover off . I feel like I'm going to break something.

On the Swarovski there's 2 little gaps in the front cover that you can slip a small screwdriver in. Never held the Zeiss so I'm just guessing. Does it maybe thread off ?

Redraw they have a mount just for their binos now that comes in the box.

In htis video it looks like the Swaro adapter, but I would stop before I broke something. Give Eagle Optics a call and they will walk you through it .
