Bargain of the century (1 Viewer)

I just bought these new bins as I wanted to take up birdwatching and watch other wildlife.

I'm new to all this and have tried out bins in various stores before settling on these Barr and Stroud, Skyline 8x42's. I just wanted to point out how impressed I am (not only the price) but the quality which compares and outperforms other bins I have tested which cost 4 times the price!

So like I said they are 8x42, 119m FOV, Bak4 prism's, multi coated optics, waterproof, nitrogen filled etc.

Cant believe they were only £37.99 on Amazon, surely a bargain? Anyone else like the Barr and Stroud range?

I've seen the ad for these before, but dismissed it because there was no mention of phase coatings.

The body is very similar to the original Monarch body.
