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

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.

dCorbus · 04-02-2010 05:51PM

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

Phew!
Ah, the early bird catches the spotting scope.....: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?

rowa · 04-02-2010 09:53PM

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

Hibrion · 05-02-2010 05:44PM

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

Just for future reference, any and all stock is put out to be sold asap.

No6 · 08-02-2010 10:27AM

I went into my local aldi store looking for one and they told me they hadn't got any yet, they all went to a different store and will turn up sometime this week!!!(hopefully!!)

Eddie B · 10-02-2010 08:51PM

well, is it any good

didn't get one sold out but like all lidl and aldi stuff it'll be back. i hope:D

Vegeta · 11-02-2010 07:58PM

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
