adam f Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 I feel that a set of binolculars would be handy in my ever growing kit bag? What do you recommend? Can I get away with a cheapy set or do I need to invest a bit? Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kent Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 Depends what use you will put them to low light use especially in woodland stalking you want quality stuff, that said a quality pair will do it all a cheapo pair will do only some of what you ask.

I would have paid more for these without doubt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You didn't mention in your original post what you wanted to use them for. I use these for the same reasons you want them for and they are absolutely spot on for what you want.

Beardo Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 i'd highly recommend Bushnell binos, and Uttings are currently doing a sale on them, plus they're 20% those prices this weekend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveK Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 Normally I'd say you get what you pay for but I bought a pair of cheapies from Aldi a few years ago £14. and they're superb even in low light. They keep getting them in and are worth a look. Similar with Lidl but I've not seen them in Netto's. Look out for ones branded either Tronic or Bresser. For the price they're comparable to some at a hell of a lot more expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinistercr0c Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 Search these forums for the word Konus. These are the '7dayshop' branded bino's (Konus titanium) and are of excellent quality for £20 or so. Konus is an italian manufacturer of all things optical.....

Cannon Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 Got a pair of 10X50's from LIDL called Bressers. The optics are even better than my Bushnells. Even in the lowest light they perform excellently. Would recommend these if you can find em Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arjimlad Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 Another vote for the 7-day shop ones .. great quality despite the low price ! They are a little heavy though compared with some smaller bins. I got a little pair from Aldi a couple of years ago which are fine for scanning for pigeon. They're not going to be spotting the number of wing bars on a peewit at 200 yards but for what I wanted they fit the bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
