Spot on as usual


Roundoak,
I guess thats the "like it or lump it" position and your probably quite within your rights to stick to that stance.

However, playing Devils Advocate for a second, if the position were reversed, how would you like it?

Also, could using that set-up result in further hassle? I'm thinking what if somebody called a LEO because they felt you were using a "rifle" inappropriately?

Sometimes, just because you have the lawfully right to do something, doesn't necessarily make it a good idea so to speak...

Anyway, away from the "ethics aspect", what mag is the scope?
And is there any particular reason why you choose that set up over a conventional tripod???

I have a Nikon 50ED with a x27 eyepiece and while I can hand hold it using my stalking sticks as a steady, putting it on a tripod makes it far more effective..

Regards,

Peter
