chainsaw, I'll check with my CFO. Suspect reply will be a combo of things I can't write on the public forum ;-) and recommendation I buy new rather than used

A word of advice for your CFO
1. You cant shoot what you cant see. Do NOT be tempted to skimp on cheap optics .... ever.
2. There some good bugga's on this forum who sell top quality gear second hand at good prices which will save you 25 - 50% over new prices. I've never been let down & I'd hope others would say the same about anything I sold.
but also completely understand if you want to buy new.
