And We Can't Say It Better

"... Rugged and simple to use... It is the only unit tested that has a bliniking reticle. A tiny knob next to the on-off/brightness control varies the rate from about one pulse per second to an attention getting flicker. At first I felt this feature might be a gimmick, but it proved its worth in the field. I could keep the reticle nice and bright and still see dim stars that disappeared under a constant setting."
David Regen in Sky and Telesope

"The Telrad isn't the only one-power finder in town. From Rigel Systems (the same folks who bring you those cool rectagular flashlights) comes this well sorted reflex sight."
Ed Ting in Scope Reviews web site

"The more I use the QuikFinder the more I appreciate its simplicity and usefulness. I highly recommend it. "
Mike Weasner in Weasner's Mighty ETX web site

"This is just a fabulous addition to my ETX! It's never been easier for me to locate objects. I frequently bypass the finder and go right from the QF to the ETX eyepiece, since even at high magnifications, the object is usually in the field of view! "
