Hi
I've just joined the forum and would appreciate some advice.
I would like to buy a scope and spend a maximum of about £120.
It will be used mainly for looking at the hills and birds from my bedroom window. It therefore doesn't need to be weatherproof or light (It will be used on a tripod).
I appreciate I won't get a brilliant scope for this price but don't think I can justify spending more. It will get used a lot as there is so much wildlife to see from my window as well as a range of hills.
I would happily buy second hand but would need some advice on what kind of magnification I should be aiming for and which brands to look at.
If I need to provide any further information please say so otherwise I look forward to receiving your replies.
Many thanks
Richard
