Nothing some DPM tape or spray paint can't solve.

I was thinking the exact same thing. Scrub the yellow parts with some scotch brite or P400 sand paper. Halfords have some great own brand plastic primer and spray paints.

But it still looks massive. Just because it has a "mil dot reticule" dosen't mean its suitable. For €80 you could probably get a good set of mini bino's from a reputable make.

Just because there bigger then mini binos doesnt make them unsuitable.

OK so, bring a 2 ring gas stove c/w yellow cylinder for you to brew up so...

Been known to happen. I know a few lads who did 2 weeks with the rangers and set them selfs up with a nice little kitchen using the above. The ARW were well impressed.

Different gear suits different people in differnat situations so get off the high horses. I'd imagine the ary lads would find thiose binos alot more usefull then the inf lads and as for the CIS lads I reckin a gas burner and cylinder would be the lest bulky of their kit and probbaly wouldnt know the difference between one par of binos and another :wink:

Because they might get used.

You would be hard pressed to get anything with a mildot reticle at that price.
