What is the general concensus on Leica Trinovid binoculars? Would the Leica Trinovid HD 8x42 binocular be a good choice for a plains game safari?
 
No. They would be horrible. You should probably give them to me instead. You know what?... I'd even pay you a few bucks for them so you could go get something else. I'm sure I could find a use for them for something.....
 
The Trinovid is a good quality optic.
The Noctivid takes things to a whole new level.
Add in rangefinding capability and you are at the Geovid.

Of course this all comes at an increasing price point.
You will not be disappointed in the Trinovid for PG.
But don't expect Noctivid or Geovid quality at that price.
In the end, you will get what you pay for.

IMO - Save your money and get the Geovid.
Buy once, cry once.
Used ones on eBay offer considerable savings.
These are the Gen 1 RF binos and not much more $ than the Trinovid.
Better glass and RF capability for a $500 upcharge.

I currently have the Geovid 10x42HD-B 3000.
Truly amazing glass and on par with Swaro.
I'm just not a fan of their RF binos.

Morning Rob, Any feeling for how the 300 H&H shoots? How's the barrel condition?

Hello. I see you hunted with Sampie recently. If you don't mind me asking, where did you hunt with him? Zim or SA? And was it with a bow? What did you hunt?

I am possibly going to book with him soon.
Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
