Overview
Designed for hunters who want weather data close at hand while staying behind the glass, this mount lets a 5000 Series Kestrel weather meter sit on a spotting scope for quick viewing without changing position. It attaches to a Picatinny rail at the 3 or 9 o’clock position and uses a simple setscrew with a knurled head for installation. The Kestrel is held securely in place, and the mount is made from reinforced 2200-series polyamide in coyote tan. Rails are not included, so it is best suited for setups already equipped for Picatinny mounting.
