Hi
Looking for recommendations for a smallish light compact scope or zoom monocular.
I already have some good 8 x 42 bins and an opticron 8x30 monocular but looking for something to get me a lot closer to the action. Weight and size is a issue as I don't want to add much more weight than carrying the nikon and sigma 150-500 combo and a few other bits thrown in. Chances are the other half will be carrying it/using it when out with me.
I tried a viking v50 that rspb sell and size wise it was ideal, but figure it was probably overpriced/ better options for less money.
Budget wise under £100 would be great. Its not something will be used all the time, but something to take to places like Fairburn or Potteric carr for the stuff I can't see with the 500mm on the slr.
I'm not looking for astounding quality but want it to be as good as the opticron 8x30 at say 20-25 times
Any recommendations welcome.
Thanks
