Rake aboot 4,936 Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 Aye Was out looking for a new set of 10x42 roof prism glasses today. Had it narrowed down to the Opticron countryman and the Bushnell Excursion. I just happened to spot a Viking RSPB shop in Edinburgh and went in and tried a set od Viking MD 10x42. Superb is all I can say, They were slightly dearer than the other two but the bloke then told me they were on sale making the around 50 quid cheaper than the others. Anyone had any experience of these. When compared directly the were the best of the bunch for me so I will be buying a set tomorrow. Thoughts please blokes. Cheers Quote Link to post

Whitby_Sam 4 Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 I have a pair of Viking 10X50 and they're great. Never had any problems and the clarity is great even over some distance. Easy to fine tune the focus and comfortable to hold and against your eyes. Mine were very expensive compared with others in the shop but the difference in quality was very clear. Quote Link to post
Lost Generation 93 Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 I have a pair of Opticron 10x28 compacts which I use all the time and I'm very happy with them. I bought them after comparing them with a wide-range of other compact 10x Binos Quote Link to post
