bino's

[COLINSRI]

I want to buy a set of binos. Only want to spend about £50-£70 (second hand). What ones can I get in this price range and what spec/brand and size would need them to be for spotting quarry. I will also use them for spotting ships from the coast.

 

If anybody has any decent ones for sale can they let me know.

Franks got a good pair in the 'for sale' section if you could stretch to £100

have to be honest with you phil, I dont actualy know anyone who uses bins for spotting quarry, lots use it for leisure though.

 

You have to remeber air guns are 60% field craft and 40% shooting, with a pair of bins dangling about your likely to spopok your quarry.

 

But if you do insit on getting a pair, i would recomend something small and light weight that you can slip in your pocket, i have a 10x20 set here that cost me £5 on the market far froim brilliant but they do the job, and not coist the world if the get lost or damaged.

 

all the best

Colin,

I think it's a case of 'horses for courses' I use a monocular for hunting and bino's for everything else. A monocular is cheap, mine is an 8x20 cost £8 new weighs about 2 oz and fits into the palm of my hand. Definately the way to go imho.

I do? I always take bins if daylight / dawn dusk shooting? @ 100 yards or so in a wood bunnies take some spotting if only the ears are above foilage level,or tucked under a bush then its either bang or creep up depending on the weapon I have with me.
