    Vectronix Vector 23 Costs almost $1000 Nz dollars a yard in capability

    MFC's and Foo's would be all over those. Half the size and weight of the old issue ones.

    I was pretty chuffed with the rating of the Bushnell 1600.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    I only got as far as the eye test thing.
    Quite a good idea but doesn't take into account natural colour and light gathering... Or was that later?

    I sold a pair of the ARCS, before I got my Swaro's. They out ranged my mates HD's every time but I never rated the glass at all.
    Had a green hue to them iirc. I thought they were good binos and they worked as promised. But no where near as good they were rated on that review.

    Could have just been mine as I never compared them to another set. They were new when I bought them so one can only assume. Don't get me wrong they are very good bino's but miles behind what I have now.

    I had heard about the colour bleed before I bought mine but I trialled a pair that Barefoot has for a week or so and never saw a problem so got mine. If the problem does exist then I cannot detect it. They are obviously not the best rangefinder Bino's in creation but they are better than good enough for me.

    Is it a problem or just a lens coating? Barefoots ones you looked thru, iirc used to be mine Rushy . He beat me down to a song for those

    Now that you mention it I think he did tell me that he got them from you for a song. Maybe it is just the fact that I see in grey scale that causes them to be OK for me. They are going to get a bit of a work out tomorrow as a few fellah's are come over to set some gongs a swinging.

    As long as steel gongs (Not fleshy ones) are the only thing, they see swinging Rushy

    Ha ha ha ha the old scrotum hanging out the side of the stubbies when you are in the prone position is not a flash look I would agree R93

    I reckon a mans swingers get to descending as he ages.
