New small 6x30 and 8x30 Savanna porros

As suggested by typo (aka David), a "heads up" on some new porros apparently soon to be on offer from Opticron.

I feel the Yosemite and Raptors have been an excellent light weight option. Much more than, just for children or feeders, out performing much higher priced roofs. I hope they prove to be a worthy alternative.
