I got one of the original cradles a few years back and they are rock solid. I wanted to mount a FLT 132 on the same mount so I made a copy of the Homeyer half rings and just bolted them on upside down to effectively make a set of giant rings. Worked a treat and made the thing even more rigid, if that's possible. No need for SBS plates because its all along the axis of symmetry. My scope is also on a PME II and you will find the whole rig very effective.?
