    I used them for the first year for stalking and they did the job for me OK. But keep the rain off them as they will fog up, so just tuck them under your jacket.
    I still keep them in the car boot for the times I need them. Like yesterday at the 50m range for viewing the target hits.


    At €18 they are disposable:)

    I wonder if you sprayed Bob Heath Antifog on them would it solve that.

    Is the clarity any good.

    I bought the mother A SILVA BINO's for smal money recently in a closing down sale. The are quite good.

    Irrespective of the quality they still zoom in and do the job. Fogging is a small issue that can be prevented and as clivej said for €17.99 if the fail, break, get dropped, lost, etc they are not a huge expenditure.

    Might just get myself a pair.

    Always handy to have as a cheap disposable back-up.

    I've a pair that I've throw underneath the drivers seat in the car. They get forgotton about, stamped on and are kicked about when kids are bored in the back of the car.

    But they are always handy to have if you ever spot anything some distance away & you don't have your shooting gear.....plus for anybody with kids you don't mind handed them these to look throw....without palpitations about droppage, stick fingers etc.

    Picked up a pair of these today, delighted with them, really suprised with their feel and quality - had to open a few boxes to find a pair that had no noticeable minor defects,
    Was able to zoom in on a housing estate accross the road to check them out, handy for the kitchen window or the glovebox .

    a giveaway........

    Got a pair myself last week - for the money they're spot on, no complaints here either. It also took me a while to find a pair without any minor defects but omce I did I was glad I got them.
    Anyone have any idea when Lidl\Aldi usually bring in their cheap meat mincer ?

    Shoot a small deer and you won't need a mincer

    If you want an economical one
