    Meopta Optika LR VS Leica Geovid R Binoculars, Matt Cashell

    Meopta 10x42 LR gotcha = flat battery……. I stored the binos away in my bino harness after unboxing and a bit of a play. The two buttons sit quite proud and were activated during storage, flattening the battery before the next time I grabbed them - fortunately before the trip. I’ve since...

    Bonding a picatinny rail to an action

    @Formidilosus, I’ve just epoxy bonded (no loctite 380 nearby) a Leupold Backcountry rail to my x-bolt to mount my SHV 5-20 using Burris Signature zee rings. The rail has a cutout to the rear for the screws. Is mounting the rear ring over this cutout ok? Regards Phil

    Australia Roadtrip Recommendations

    G’day Nick, I live in Cairns. It is an amazingly beautiful place. It’s the wet season here at the moment, and as others have said, this region experiences rain in metres this time of year. But don’t let that deter you because the drive from Brisbane to Cairns along the Bruce Highway is one of...

    Binocular Tripod Mount options

    Quite like the Spartan stuff and had a spare Classic adapter after installing the Gunsmith adapters in my rifles. The Spartan bino harness is $180aud -pricey! So, a little bit of ally angle shaped, drilled and tapped. Doesn’t protrude enough to catch on my bino harnes. For $45 a Spartan...

    G’day Southern Lights. Have you had any issues with the shortish eye relief on the SHV 3-10. OK on a T3X in 300wsm do you think? Cheers Phil

    …so not sure if the mediums will work for a 50mm bell. Might need the HTO73 highs. @norcan is this what you’ve used under the Zeiss?

    Is anyone with a T3X using the Leupold Backcountry 2pce 30mm mounts with a VX5HD 3-15x44? Did you use the medium or the high rings? Thanks Phil
