    Be interesting to see what you think of the gpo’s. I tried them out at H&F Nelson on a really bright sunny day looking up into the hills above the town, the glare and haze was really noticeable, the swaro 10x30 and vortex razors I tried at the same time were nice and clear and the haze wasn’t an issue at all.

    Another vote here for the Sig's.
    A mate sourced a like new , send hand pair for me . The glass is good , I haven't done a side by side comparison out in the field , I have checked others and didn't feel they were left wanting . They are a bit of a lump but you can leave your phone and rangefinder behind . Buy some flip up scope caps , the object lens are 4 mm from the end of the housing . So a little vulnerable .
    The rangefinder is superb , very, very fast . The inbuilt ballistic calculator is very good , link it to a compatable Kestrel windmeter and it goes from good to brilliant . Both Sig's and Kestrel are easily programmed using their apps . Great fun , on a long range varminting session.
    I got lucky and saved 50% overall as the guy I bought my Kestrel from had never used it . If you know Yorkshiremen you'll understand how we love a bargain .

    He is, shame really but he had his reasons and they were important to him.
