Hello everyone,
I've only really been birding for about 6months,I've got myself what I believe to be a decent pair of bins in the opticron imagic, which I am extremely impressed with,purchased through infocus. I would like to get a scope aswell for an upcoming trip to Skye and Bulgaria (wife is Bulgarian) so we visit a couple of times a year and general birding trips. I would like something quite lightweight but can only spend£200, so realise this may not be realistic. I was hoping someone may have experience with something in this price range or be able to shed some light on if its even worth getting a scope for this budget or should i just wait a year and get something a bit more expensive? I have seen a 2nd hand opticron 1560id wp in this price range, is this a good scope? Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
Nick.
