    One of the best posts I've seen on this forum, thanks for taking the time to write it up. It should be a sticky, or put in the wiki, for future reference. Worm, I've been looking at the steiner 8x30's and all I've read their pretty for their size, might be worth a look?

    I've only compared them to a pair of Leicas, so like you said no comparison between the two at all, but you can see much better through the binos at twilight than without them. My mesa binos are ok, but a bit bulky for the sort of hunting I do, and like I said the 10x42's had a better field of view than the lesser model 10x50's., but comparing them at low light would be interesting. There was a good review in the Wild Deer mag a few issues ago...., but I haven't compared anything with mine to comment realy.

    I've ben looking at a seccond hand set for a while, but new from the US seems to be generaly cheaper than seccond hand in aus. I'm realy close to buying a set of Leupold Acadia Binos in 10x42, camo. A mate had them , and they seemed to be realy good binos, and had a better field of view than both my Leupold Mesa 10x50, and redfield 7x50, and more clear and lighter in weight, but didn't get compare them in low light. http://www.buzzillions.com/reviews/leupold-10x42-acadia-binoculars-reviews http://www.cabelas.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=732646&type=product&WT.tsrc=CSE&WT.mc_id=Shopzilla&WT.z_mc_id1=732646&rid=40&mr:referralID=b1885ae5-635a-11e0-9f53-001b2166becc Just an option as oposed to seccond hand in Aus, best of luck with it.

      I always liked the No.1's, they seemed to be a classy rifle.

      Much better looking than a tikka or something :P.

      And you don't realy need more than one shot when trophy hunting with an adequate caliber. As long as its well placed, and I've found I'm more concious of my placement with the single shot.

      And its a different rifle, not many people run them.

      yeah i agree with you but what if you didnt hit your stag of a lifetime properly and needed a quick second shot at him? and arent they really heavy??

    G'day mate, I just won a redfield 2-7 x 33, and need another pair of binos. The scope only arrived on chrissy eve, and hasn't been used or put on a rifle.

    250 savage = 3040fps with a 100g TSX.............. Poobat's 25-06 = 3080fps with a 100g TSX and a crap load more powder

    G'day mate, I recently bought one from another forum, but haven't been able to test it in the field. Looks a bit ugly, but has pleanty of pockets and extra features, and i'm sure it'll be a great backpack for me for a long time. I certainly like it and can't wait to try it.
