Binoculars

[BobDown 749]

After a pair  binoculars for out in field, I need some that are suitable for the terrain I go a bout, 20 to 30 acre fields at most and on hills and moors. Looking for some decent under £250. Have got eye on some vortex diamondback but I’ve not much idea on size I’d require etc. Any recommendations/ Advice would be much appreciated

If you're going to use them in poor light (dawn and dusk) I'd advise 7x50 and get waterproof gas filled ones of a decent brand and the best quality you can afford. 200 quid upwards should get something half decent but you cut your coat according to the cloth you have and my own ones were poor quality and free from a house clearance but still work.

I have a pair of expensive vortex ones which are very good but I think the barr and stroud ones are the best value for money. For less than £100 you can get a pair of 8x32 which are only a little bit worse than my vortex which were several times the price

I have a set of Barr and Stroud  and as you say......they are decent for the money, I think when I bought mine they were only around £70  I've had them a few year now and still going strong ......
