Title: What window mount do you like and why?
Post by: Muley Chaser on June 23, 2022, 10:43:18 AM: Bought a new spotting scope and am curious as to what you all are using for window mounts. Athlon Ares G2 UHD 20-60-85.

Thanks

D-Rock— I will check out the black Ovis.

Thanks

Used the window clamp part from the Vortex and when I upgraded the head on my Tripod I put the old head on the clamp . Way better . The head I used is a Promaster XC - M
