Had another Magpie moment this Tuesday,
I have been watching the advances in the "Other" stuff as opposed to thermal imaging, I have watched with interest our friends in "Out Last Night" with their input on ARKEN / DNT stuff, So I purchased from Ian @ Blackwood outdoors a DNT unit with onboard making of toast
(all the stuff I have previously tried to avoid), Impressed with the obvious quality of the construction of the unit, I noticed straight off after a weighing session of my thermal T- Ceptor against the DNT (fully set up with rails etc), from memory around a full 800 grammes lighter for the DNT, only downside in a change is giving up field of view, but not a big issue.
Up at the farm with it, (with the thermal ready to go back on if a problem were to be encountered), zeroing was completed @ 108 yards in fairly quick time, with allowances for sausage fingers & mental blockages along the way,
, colour rendering was very good with two choices of presentation, I did read the manual as I had an electron microscope with me (not!), 
, A definite improvement required there, Battery life looks to be much better than quoted although the laser was not played with.
Job remaining today, become victorious over the ballistic input thingy.
