Antares_9 Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 With something like bins Sonia try to go to a big shop where you are able to actually try them for size so to speak, I'm sure somebody local will know of one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbird Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 I think the main one in North Norfolk is Cley Spy. They have loads of binos and scopes and you can try them all out. http://www.cleyspy.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
