    Well the little woman picked up one of these for me today so I should be able to give it a good test tonight or tomorrow.

    Haven't got to play with it yet but fingers crossed all is well with it :D

    Just got one this morning.
    Have had it up in the bedroom spying on the neighbours!:D

    But seriously, gave it a wee bit of a test - focussed on some objects about 200 - 300m away (in todays very dull conditions) and it's as sharp as needs be.

    For just under €25, you can't go wrong. If you're looking for a reasonably decent-quality cheapo spotting scope, best hightail down to Aldi right now!

    I was pleasantly surprised!:)

    i got the last one in parnell street in dublin this morning and can't believe they can make them for the money , its plenty good enough for spotting .22 holes at 100 yards and if it gets nicked or smashed well who cares.

    jeez, rowa - lucky we got in early to Parnell Street so.
    There was about 12 - 15 of them still at around 9:40am.
    Hot cakes indeed!:D

    BTW If anyone's looking for one of these scopes, I've got 5 spare and will be putting them on ebay. A steal at €94.99 each.:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::D

    Anyone know if there's any in Finglas left?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,296 ✭✭✭rowa


    i think they put a few out every morning rather than all at once , so go at opening time if you really want one .

    Picked up one of these yesterday, they seem to be good quality. There was at least a dozen left there too.

    well, is it any good :confused: didn't get one sold out but like all lidl and aldi stuff it'll be back. i hope:D

    It's adequate.

    Was looking at some geese about 600-700 yards away and there was some ghosting at the higher mag and it was hard to get perfect focus but for 25 quid it's no issue really
