Princeton Tec Aurora

“I'm thinking about buying one of these and was wondering if anyone had one and how it compared to the Tikka. It is a bit cheaper and I have used Princeton for years.”

“Cheaper = less expensive”

“I have one, I like it, but I never used a Tikka/Zipka so I can't compair the two. It was however the very first time I had to use my phillips screwdriver on the trail from the small Swiss Army Knife I use - had to tighten the hinge screw on the Aurora to keep it from inching down with each step.”

“HOI, that is the very reason, I still pack a small Swiss Army Knife,,,,,,the one time you need it,,,you really need it.”

“I have both the Tikka and the Aurora...I prefer the Aurora.

Waterproof
More even lighting
It pivots
It's less expensive and has more features!”

“Thanks, I had heard good things about it but needed input from the TTers before I purchased it.

Violin - Thanks, next time I'll search first to keep from duping a thread.”

“I've heard from several people that the screw comes loose easily.”

“Hey, maybe they should get an endorsement from Marvin...he has a whole head full of loose screws.”
