Is the case slack enough to allow you to rest the encased tube on the wooden base mounts? Thanks!

No. You would have to store the scope tube w/case separately from the wooden base. The tube will not rest or sit in the wooden base while in the carrying case.

It depends on which scope you're buying for. I use this bag for my Orion XT8 and 4 large eye pieces, 2 small eye pieces, and a handful of other small accessories. If by "wooden base mounts" you're referring to the dob mount, no. The base will not fit in this bag.

Yes, that is exactly what we needed to do. It worked fine - VERY snug, but stable. You will have to tap it down with a rubber mallet. Ours has been up for over 2 years and still sturdy.

Yes it is, so much so I had a hard time getting it to stay in place. I would not recommend wasting your money on this display case.

The edge of the case is cradled into a notch in the base of the stand. That notch is lined with small rubberized tabs that grip, so I think you shouldn't have any problems.

YES !!! In come cases you will have to remove the mounting bolt first and slide it into position then re-install the mounting bolt and tighten. Very solid & secure mount

My tray is mounted under a compressed board that is one inch thick. I've had no problems with it.

The clamp on the bottom should be preventing this. Make sure it's locked and tight enough (but not too tight -- it snapped on me and made the stand practically useless).

Yes, mine is also very slack. If the tray goes a little to the right or left, it fall off the tracks. You have to slide it in right in the middle and it stays. It should have been built just a shade wider for a perfect fit.

Yes it should be, it's surprisingly very solid, I tightened the screws a bit more during the build, although I did install the keyboard drawer, it should be fine without it I'd say as long as securely tighten everything

No, it's not rigid enough. It lays down almost immediately. No amount of bending of holding in place keeps it in the position you desire.

At the top of the case their is a elastic extension that holds it in place....so farI haven't had any problems

I think the answer is yes. I am not at my house where the stand is so I can't honestly test this but I believe positioning the locking top clamp anywhere on the top tube will hold it. I will be back at home tomorrow if you want me to test this. Let me know.

Yes! There is a circular fiberglass rod that runs along the length of the top that keeps it from sagging. It works quite well! I hope this helps!

On mine the case sticks out a little less than a cm. My skinny adapter fits just fine. If you have a wide adapter I am not sure. The case is squishy, so it may squish down.

it has a little base in the back so it can stand free, i will have to look and see if mountable. Would guess not because of the base.

There is a slight bevel where the two mesh plates join. But nothing that would prevent something from lying flat on it.

The weight is negligable, depanding on what else u have mounted to your fore-end. It will rattle a bit if you dont get it secured after collapsing it.
