Little Help/advice Wanted Please

Hi all I have a nitesite eagle and just bought a minox scope. The standard rubber extension tube is to short. It's the peice that slips over the ocular lens for the camera to slide into. Because of the longer eye relief on the Minox I need a longer peice of tube only about an inch longer than standard. Can anyone suggest something I could use.

 

Thanks in advance

Kind regards

Dan

I dont know this set up but would intercooler hose work?

 

on my set up I use rubber intercooler hose to mount the camera.

I'm not sure mate it probably would. But the camera and scope aren't the same diameter.

Happy days. The other standard sleeve is perfect on the .22lr and Hawke scope. Just this minox on the .22-250 has a 4 inch eye relief so needed something a little longer

They look really useful for the likes of the Nite Site.
