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 I have got a pair of Barr and Stroud Sierra 10 X 50 spot on and a good price any thing above this with out a steady hand or on a stand the images can be shakey to me better than Bushnell,also this size is still small. http://www.barrandstroud.com/prodfam.php?id=166 2 Quote Link to post

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 Tyla ever fancied a pair of Swarovskis I know they are pricey a mate had some Leupold for stalking but dropped on some second hand Swarovskis,but as I do general mootching etc my Barr and Strouds are well good enough,atb my hounds 1 Quote Link to post

Neal 1,857 Posted May 22, 2021 Report Share Posted May 22, 2021 I'd recommend Hawke. I bought some after reading a review in which someone said that they're not as good as Swarovski, but the difference in quality is minimal compared to the price. I then tried them out in The London Camera Exchange and the image quality is brilliant. I have the 10 x 43 endurance ed binoculars and the 8 x 42 endurance ed monocular. I think the monocular is about £70 and the binoculars are £210. 2 Quote Link to post
