    Nice, had a look at that at the sika show was impressive package for the cost.
    Apparently there's a model coming wither a lower mag range and I'll be picking one up once that turns up.

    When your good lady said you could get a thermal for the South Island I think she was meaning Long John’s. Oh well, Enjoy.

    its a night vision day and night 'scope, not thermal. Need to be a computer buff to drive it Im hoping that @55six is going to run a night class for new owners Or maybe I will get my 15 year old grandson in as a consultant.

    Its a 5x base optical with upto 20x digital. I would say its a good medium to longer range optic. Its rated to out to beyond 400m dependent on animal size.
