Sale binoculars (1 Viewer)

This is predominantly aimed at those with a bit of experience of the UK market.

I am looking to get my first proper pair of birding bins. After whittling choices down to the Vortex Diamondback 8x42, I have one final conundrum. It appears that I may not be able to get a pair of these in time for a planned trip at the back end of next week. If not I'm wondering if it may be worth waiting until January to see if there are any better deals in the sales.

Do UK optics stockists do January sales, or do they only really reduce when new products are introduced?

Sounds good.. Diamondback. Go with what you got or can borrow for the meantime.

Seemed like the best combination of optical and build quality in my price range, plus excellent guarantee. Eyecups are one thing I've checked thoroughly after advice from you and others and the Vortex ones seemed by far the sturdiest I've tried.

Also tried some Hawke Frontier ED and was very impressed by the sharpness an brightness of the image. Would like to try them side by side with the Ultra HDs.

Back on the subject of sales, do US stores reduce their prices in January?

Not some much as retailers in the UK. But sometimes you can find bargains.

Cheaper demos sometimes appear after various trade shows in January and February.
