There are a couple of other points to consider in this 10 year old thread.
8 x 40 Binoculars
8 x 40 Binoculars
I seem to have got into a good subject here with so many replies. Just spent a time reading all replies, some being way over my head and price lol.
I have been thinking and reckon i should double the budget. The Bin`s are not needed untill next year anyway so T said she will buy me some boating clothes and sleeping bags for it for xmas.
Also ill look for local shop to go and try some out. I wear glasses and eye site is not the best so to try them would be better. good suggestion ill tkae some of the suggestions in our budget to the shops to see if they have them in to look at.
Thanks all for the replies.

They were a complete unit. Monocular with fitted pistol grip and a built in compass. I have not had or seen one for years.Is the pistol grip with the compass....or the monocular ?....I don’t think I have seen a monocular with a pistol grip...a picture would be good
I have a Russian 7.50 pair bought many years ago from a market in Moscow, there was a lot of military equipment for sale... it during glasnost though - from memory about $20. Kept on board and getting distinctly battered, one eyepiece held on with tape and need new eyepiece rubbers. Also have a pair of 7x50 Pentax which are excellent, but usually kept at home.
