Default G5 Optix fiber noise

I was wondering, what do you think is the best way to stop the fibers from rattling? I thought maybe I'd put some fleece in there or wrap them in electrical tape.

GV, not to state the obvious but have you checked the tightness of the little screws that hold the fiber on the their post? I tightened mine when i first got it and it definitely made a difference. You might also have luck by stuffing the hole with fleece where the fibers are stored within the sight housing. It's meant for the G5 light that is an add on. I also noticed the early on these fibers vibrated against each other in that housing. Best of luck, it's a great sight.

I'd bet it's the little screws and not the fibers. The best thing I did was put little lock washers on the front screws and then always check the adjustment screws for the pins to ensure they have some resistance.
