Though at that price you are getting into basic range roof prism territory, though I would favour a porro, as it will have better optics at this end of the market.The Rspb optics offers, all feature products that have been reduced so you should be getting good value and if you buy online you would have 7 days to return if you don't like them.As Viking supply the RSPB and have their own repair facilities I would say they were a reasonable company to deal with along with the RSPB.Good luckNev</blockquote>
