[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 1355392, member: 12443"] After rechecking, it could be I was wrong in my original assessment of the Wild tripod. Mine however is different in that it has no round disk with the degree markings, and the smaller connecting tripod is also different. My unit is dated in the early 70s as for manufacture date. The larger tripod shown has been refinished as they were painted o d green, but the unit itself were exactly as shown in the pic with the brown leather covering and the metal parts painted o d. The Barr & Stroud units work the same as the Wild, but overall not quite the same in quality as the Wild. As for walking to the dead animal by using a compass bearing, you could just use a hand held binocular with a built in compass like in the marine units for getting a bearing on the target. You could also place a hand compass on the gun pointed at the animal for that information. Problem is walking a straight coarse to the animal without having to deviate from it. Best bet is walkie talkies and a buddy directing you from where you shot. [/QUOTE]
