so what should i go for? currently looking at -

Sigma 50-500 OS

Sigma 150-600

a used Canon 100-400 mki (not sure about the push/pull zoom, never tried it)

any thoughts greatly appreciated

Of the lenses above and as stated for outdoor use the Sigma 150-600 will be fine. The extra reach over 400mm will come in handy. I hear the "S" version is a little sharper wide open at 6.3. If you can't afford the Canon's, Sigma is a valid alternative.

I have the Sigma 150-600 'C' version and I am very happy with it for outdoor use.

I would invest the additional $50.00 in the Dock. The Dock help you "Fine Tune" focus and IS.
