Abstract
A synthetic erector lens mount for use in a rifle scope or similar optical instrument incorporating glides, or rails, which ride on the inner surface of the guide tube. Biasing fingers, or tabs, incorporate raised bulges, or angle radially outward from the body of the mount, or both, so that they push outward on the walls of the guide tube, pushing the mount against the glides. Preferably the mount incorporates a recess on the inner wall of the mount for capturing a nut or other fastener, a hole through the wall of the mount, and a flattened area of the outer surface of the mount, parallel to the recess and aligned with the hole, for removably attaching a guide sleeve which engages the slots in the guide tube and cam tube for adjustment of the erector lens.
