[QUOTE="spitfiretriple, post: 1739912, member: 78740"] Nice clean looking bin. And I like black. From the spec (not always a reliable guide to quality) it seems good value - similar to Zen-Ray ED(1)? It looks similar to the Viking ED ([URL="http://www.birdforum.net/showthread.php?t=163175"]second image from left[/URL]) which retails for about three times as much! Not too keen myself though on the centre-dioptic adjuster. I haven't tried this (so I should shut up) but it looks like a gimmick to me. Each to his own - you obviously like the centre-dioptic on the Vixen Atrek. @RJM: You are little harsh on birdazzLED, no? He drew our attention to a bin we haven't seen before (I hadn't anyway), and asked what we thought about the specs. Then he pointed out that one link for the Bushnell didn't mention phase coating and he wanted to double check the spec. Are these actions so unreasonable? Thanks for your posts BirdazzLED, welcome to BirdForum. PS I too have more LED torches than I need. And don't get me started on multi-tools. There's a British range called [URL="http://www.trueutility.com/"]True Utility[/URL]. I eat their stuff. Leathermen(?) are too expensive, I only have one, that was a gift brought back from NY.
