    So the idea for me is that I just want to assess whether i need to get a closer look at an animal or just keep walking, I have been measuring heads for a few years now and already have a fair idea how good they are but through 10x binos just doesn't cut it at range.

    Would your rifle scope not do the job?

    I think he's talking about judging potential at distances of 1km+. So probably not.

    Buy a camera like mine and scotts, kills two birds with one stone.
    I'm drawn to the mountains and the bush, it's where life is clear, where the world makes the most sense.
