Mr. Perry sold me on the 600mm f4 and I really really like it. There are massive Benro tripods out there for a reasonable price and the Manfroto 393 head is reasonably priced if you're into that sort of thing. I can't wait until this winter to give it a proper workout. The folks above are also right about the D500, no reason to not use this wildlife. This lens and the D500 have crazy fast focusing.
The minus is the weight. I'm a pretty strong guy and handholding this get pretty old in a hurry. It is fine handheld from a car if that is your thing. With the VR it is fine handheld. If you're planning lots of long hikes, then maybe a 500 f4, 300 f4, 80-400g, 200-500 is a better choice. Lugging the 600 around for a 2 mile hike on anything other than flat terrain will spoil your trip.
