Looks like a fine piece of kit.
Look forward to seeing some of your BIF images.

BF,
Do you call that a beast?
Wait till you lay eyes on the (elder) Sigma 300-800, grin.

Wating for the reviews on how the Tamron 150-600 compares with the Sigma 150-600.

I´ve had a shot of that Sigma - was very impressed. It´s really sharp and can be hand held easily enough.

Is that a 'DX' size sensor or full frame that you are using?
