Thanks for posting Ripp and interesting. The 2-10 x 42, look the goods for me. I like Leupold hunting scope a lot, as they are both compact in size and light weight.
Further to the Thermal Imaging units, a mate of mine has a Flir monocular......and it really is cheating! LOL! You can actually see the foot print signatures, of where a Kangaroo has just hopped thru a paddock! When you follow them along, you then find the owner, sitting there, doing what Skippy's do.
