    Oh shutdafukup. If you have been sitting in ambush waiting for the golden hour and haven't already ranged every last inch of the clearing you are watching then you must have been having a bush masty Gibo. Ha ha ha ha.

    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

    Didn't you leave them on a log? Or was that your rifle?

    I agree that there is a difference between good and poor glass (I saw that on dusk once between a Leupold and a no name scope).

    Yep the bushnells are pretty good bought mine from reloaders. Did quite a bit of research and a few years back they had one of the best rangefinders going, better than more expensive ones. Will account for angle and has a fairly basic calculator for holdover in mils or Moa. Buy once cry once. Fuck carrying binos and rangefinder, don't care how good the optics are...

    I got a pair of ARC Fusion binos about 3 years back - & really rate them. I take them every where & avoid the hassle of binos + separate RF. Glass is damn fine and super clear. Have not done a side by side test with top of line euro binos but I can compare to scopes like Swaro's, Kahles, Zeiss and Leupold VX6 which I run .... and to my eyes the Bushnell ARC binos compare very well. I could not justify a reason to fork out 2x cash for euro RF binos.
