Hello Dray, Mike Weasner's website has quite a few pictures of ETX's with
various types of reflex and other finders on it. Here is the page,
http://www.weasner.com/etx/finders.html I hope that helps!
I decided against using a reflex sight on my own ETX (although I've
modified a small and very lightweight BB gun sight to fit onto it and it
works quite well) Instead I chose to use a rifle scope that has great eye
relief, and of course is oriented correctly, and it looks alot cooler than a
big reflex sight. ;-)
