Yeah my first SLR - when I was about 15, came as a kit with one of those. It was called a Zenith Photosniper. Wasn't much good for wildlife though, when you pulled the trigger to release the shutter, it sounded like someone banging a dustbin lid down... CLONK!
Beangags are ok but gett soggy on sandbanks/waterlogged ground. I also find them a bit awkward for manual focusing, as I find I have to put my hand over the top of the lens - which invariably seems to scare wildlife if your not wearing gloves or not in a hide. Just one of my little querks I guess - but I'm like that!
