I bought a cheap spotting scope a couple of weeks ago and I need help figuring out how to temporarily mount in different deer stands.

I've seen some different c-clamps or big alligator/gaffer clips with different mounts attached. Most of the good ones are like $60 and up. I even tried building one with a large clamp and two 10 inch pieces of aluminum bar bolted together to make a swinging arm, but even with a rubber washer between the bars, I can't get enough friction/torque to make it adjustable without it slowly dropping out of position.

Has anyone used anything they would recommend? Any suggestions on my aluminum swing arm?

jsoukup, try cutting two plastic disk from a milk jug, place one on eachside of the rubber washer as spacers, the aluminum will swing easier. use a 1/4x20 bolt with washer(s) for hooking up the spotting scope to the swing arm.

i bought a window mount for mine and then attached the window mount to a 1" c-clamp

I lay mine on a sand bag on the window shelf and lay another sand bag on top . that way I can move it from one window to another. not fance by no means

I bought a bigger scope for my rifle.
