FalconFN Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 I was recommended Opticron. I now have them in 8x42 (porros) and they are super sharp and have amazing transmission. I would highly recommend them as you can pick them up anywhere from £50 up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIG 5 Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 10 x 40 for general use if you have a steady hand. Otherwise 8 x 40. Stalking I'd use 8 x 50;s to let more light in for dawn and dusk conditions. They all seem good quality these days in the £150 range and above.

Andy RV Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 I was after the same recently and after some researched settled on a nice used late model Carl Zeiss Jena 8x30 from Ebay for £100. I'm not expert but the quality looks very good in both build and picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
