Robbo100 Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 The £25 Aldi scope continues to amaze. My upstairs window is jammed shut so I am testing through window glass. At 500 yards 5" high letters are clear and bright, easily readable. At 1000 yards the 3" metal bars on a gate are clear and bright. At 1500+ yards, (probably more as this is on the horizon), I can compare height and thickness of fence posts. Now what if I could get the window open?

verminer Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 (edited) when you say scope do you mean a spotting scope Edited February 13, 2008 by verminer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbo100 Posted February 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Yes, It's a spotting scope currently on sale at Aldi for £25.00. Identical to the target scopes riflmen use, or birdwatchers. Basics are 20x-60x, small shooting style tripod with case for both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundowner Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 ANybody got a photo of that scope? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webber Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 I bought one yesterday, then another. I bought one yesterday and then set it up at work looking at a factory chimney about half a mile away. My friend who is a police press photographer came and had a do. He could not believe the quality for the money. On the maximum magnification, the field of view was rather limited, but we were counting the bolts in the chimney. I then telephoned McF, who decided that he wanted one also. Its a good job that All is only 1/4 mile from my works. I had a telephone call from McF this afternoon. He advised me that he had tried his from the roof of his work place, and went on to describe the scope as the dogs danglies. webber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
