| Re: Names Very important, try before you buy! Decent names (apart from the big two you mentioned) to look out for are Opticron, Kowa, Nikon and Zeiss. A pal recently bought a Viking scope (don't know the model), from an R.S.P.B reserve shop and I was really impressed with it. It came with a tripod and I'm sure was less than five hundred 'sheets'.
