  1. For that money take a look at the Rico Iray 42 Joe....i know blokes that use them and are pretty happy with them.....They are a a 384 core 12 micron....

    I just sold a Night Tech MS 42 for $2500...Good first thermal scope for someone....

    Or....if you want to step up the scale, ill sell you my GSCI S350 thermal scope, same as Duncs, for $6,000....

    Brinny I have had the same diamond steel  for circa 40 years,they are a really good aid on site in the bush.

    My Buck 110 is older Iiirc except the blade is a third the size of your knife now.

    They are a great bit of gear BT....can always keep your edge on your knife easily with them....

    Another vote for Buck 110 mate. I use it most out of all of my other knives.

    Where did you get the sharpener?

    Ebay mate....they are around the $60 mark.....can be a little hard to find on there from time to time.....

  4. I used to run Gerber shorties....but now opt for the Buck 110....great folding knife that holds an edge and very robust.....

    The sharpener is a diamond steel that screws apart, goes inside itself and in its own pouch.....excellent for keeping an edge on your knife...light and small.....

    I am offering a Xmas special deal on the new GSCI 100 mm thermal scope to forum members. All S6100 thermal scopes ordered between now and Xmas will have reduction from the list price. Due to distributor agreements I cannot list the actual price on line, but discount will be in 4 digits. Never again at this price.

    These are the new 640 x 480 FPA 17 micron, having 4 X optical. Full specs are on my web site in the GSCI section. 

    www.australianshootingservices.com.au

    I can give anyone full details on the deal should they care to ring me.

    I like the front brace on the lens....but shit it looks high off the stock.....

  6. Geez... can’t complain about that mate....but of course we can ALWAYS count on superb service from the dealer in question....

    Nice work Brinny. If you don't spoil yourself who else will.

    Are you planning on getting up close and personal with the 22 and the foxes.

    Bunny busting first off Dave....then into the pups next year when they are young and silly.....should near be able to walk right up to them and put a pill behind the ear....

    Its been a while now Brinny. 

    It has Dave....i have been out a fair bit with it and its all its cracked up to be and more....There has been a number of improvements from the Apex series to the Trail series....bigger built in battery, built in mic and recorder...better resolution and the list goes on....Accounted for 37 in 3 nights from the one property, 33 from another and that list goes on too....took another 5 on Saturday night..would be well in the 100s now taken with it this year......I am "OFFICIALLY" retired now.....so look out foxes next year......

    And do you have a review vs the old one. 

    Last night was the first time i used it Dave....and there were some very notable differences....but early days yet to compare the two completely.....Once i learn how to use it i will be able to say more then....One thing the new trail has against the Apex is the trail works and the Apex doesnt....The Apex has got a bug in it somewhere and isnt feeling well at all...and is off to Pulsar for some repair work...so the new Trail has come at a good time....

    New technology toys hey...?

    What are the upgraded features of this one?

    Lots of different gizmos on this one mate....all in different spots so its a learning curve all over again.....shot the first fox with it last night and it was great to look through, but hard to use as i was fumbling through the menu to find different settings that i wanted to use.....Ill get there...(i hope)....A couple of the features that are great, is that its a lot shorter than the Apex XD75 and has a built in recorder....the weight factor is down as the scope is smaller, and doesnt have the battery pack and the recorder hanging off the side....as i get more involved in the use and learn more about it i should be able to tell you more....

    Very nice , you’ll be able to choose what size holes you want to punch in the foxes now ??

    Got a fair idea on that now Scotty.....half tempted at the moment to put it on the 223 to try out and give it a run....still keen on putting it on a 17 though..Started looking around to see whats about.......made the mistake of mentioning that to the GLW...and she just gave me a blank stare,,,:wacko:

    I love shining the spotty around the paddock. Nothin against thermals but kinda takes the fun out of it for me & so does the cost of a decent unit

    Yeah...just joshing mate...Im a thermal nutter these days....have just ordered another one, so another flogging from the wife coming up (lol)....The bloody battery was flat on the thermal a week or so ago, forgot to put it on charge,  and i was heading out culling skippys...so broke out the spotty and the 223....went ok with it after a long absence from using it.....But give me thermal any day...

  14. Been running a Gerber Shorty and Gerber Pixie for as long as i can remember....sharpen them with a stick sharpener and had that about the same length of time....But i always carry a Buck 110 folding knife just in case.....
