So where are the binocular shops in Shropshire....excluding most Jessops (unless they have a good range of second hand gear)?

I know that CJ Wildbird Foods sell a few pairs (Opticron and Swarovski), but they are a bit of a bugger to get to. And whist not in Shropshire Codsell and Wergs Garden Centre sell Vikings/RSPB (but at the mo they have ****** all in stock). TFM at Stableford sell Hawke Blackwatch (porros??). Then there is Evergreen Optics but that is a bit of a haul.

What I need is somewhere with a good range and who aren't too expensive.

Thanks
Andrew

PS If you have any recommendations what I am looking to buy of 8x42, BAK4 roof, silver and/or Phase Coated prisms, good close focus, tripod socket to a max price of £200 (preferably quite a bit less)

Hmmmm.... I suggest you shop online, that's where I got mine from!! (I've got Leica 10x42 BN's).... If you see people out ask them about their bins etc, and maybe have a scan through them...
£200 or less?? You're after quite a bit of spec. for not a lot of dosh.... Second hand is certainly your best option as sadly £200 doesn't buy a great deal in binoculars (in my opinion that is...).
Have you searched on eBay??...
