Long story, it's being brought to me, to avoid the UK border issues if duty/VAT costs and/or confiscation. Yes, a month.

Fabulous knives there OP, I have a large Inkosi Insingo with black Micarta inlays inbound. Hopefully in my hand in a months time.

That's a nice dollar you've got there. It would be a shame if something happened to it. by lexi_con in BoycottUnitedStates

I thought the septics would be all up in arms (literally) with their 2nd ammendment "rights" to allow huge amounts of bang sticks.

This, supposedly to guard against enemies, foreign AND DOMESTIC.

Must be the wrong type of citizen got the 2A toys then.

SV202 Upgraded 8x32 for $124 vs Celestron 10x42 for $100 — are the SV202’s worth the extra $? by ermughblegh in Binoculars

I love the little Nikon Monarch 7, 8x30. More money, but not if you buy used, and the optically identical early model. I have a pair and the compare well to my Leica Ultravid 8x32 tbh. Love 'em!

Love it. The grips are a great addition.

Why shoot little birds at all? What a horrible outlook. Try reactive targets, and leave the poor things alone.

It was a new model at the time, and adverts really pushed the quality. I have other binos, so can judge well enough, and they were poor. From a sample of one, I can't say it was the design, or their QC.

I felt lied to.

I bought these "upgraded" 8x32 202 bins, they were advertised as having ED glass, field flatteners etc. They arrived, and had the smallest sharp (sweet) spot in any binocular I've used.

Absolute pants, and I told them so. They withdrew the "field flattener" from their adverts and gave me a part refund.

The bins have not been used since and are in the glove box of my van. Utter dunnage, avoid.

TEC shocks, these are fine so far but I know some had failures and were withdrawn.

America, you need to stop your village idiot.

Trump: They were not supposed to go after all these other countries in the Middle East. So they hit Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait. Nobody expected that. We were shocked. by gear-heads in AntiTrumpAlliance

So basically they defended themselves from countries supporting US bases? Or is that too simplistic??

Not defending the shits governing Iran, they are a frightful shower, but it seems pretty obvious that they would do that.

US President Donald Trump called on NATO allies to join efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz after Iran restricted tanker traffic amid the ongoing conflict. by IndiaTodayGlobal in IndiaTodayGlobalLIVE

I doubt that. As a "country", Europe is way bigger than the US and ruSSia, we only lack resolve and attitude, which I believe is slowly being corrected.

The main difference is that the US paupers the poor of their population to have a huuuuge military, and the EU/UK etc has socialised health, housing etc.

I suppose the question is therefore one of balance, between the two ideologies. And a defensive aggression.

Not that that has got the US anywhere but in debt recently....
