    Hi all, I am writing on behalf of my father.
    He is looking for Kowa TSN-773 Angled Prominar XD spotting scope and 20x60 Zoom eyepiece.
    Can anyone recommend an online site for buying such equipment?!

    Thanks in advance!

    These are the distributors for UK & Ireland recommended by Kowa. (I hope the Mods don't mind the link)

    There are a number of online shops in the Uk that sell scopes. There is swoptics, infocus , sherwoods , ace cameras , kay optical. I have bought from a couple of these shops and had no problems whatsoever. Ger.

    Hey tictac,

    I'm also looking for a scope at the mo and have mostly looking at these sites - they both stock Kowa scopes.

    I think squidge already mentioned these:
    Ace cameras in Bath - they have excellent reputation, I've got a quote of £40 for postage to Ireland, they also do 2nd hand scopes.

    Warehouse Express, quote £20-35 postage to Ireland

    I've a broken Kowa TSN1 if you dad's interested :).

    Good luck getting a scope, at least your dad knows what he wants - it's a bit of a minefield once you get into all the specifications, weight, lens di and different lens magic they all offer.

    MB Lacey, I always remember buying my first scope... I was bamboozled by the salesperson :D!! I finally settled on one, nice price with decent optics... then- the dreaded forgotten factor: "You'll need a tripod of course..." :p

    I was so knackered at that stage I just pointed at the cheapest one there and ran! It was a piece of junk!!

    Apologies for going off topic a bit :)
