Silva Pocket Scope 7 Monokulär

Great little thing. Doesn't provide huge magnification, not always easy to focus just right, and I have to hold it slightly away from my eye (no eye-sheath-whatsit). But generally does well, gives a nice clear view and is nice to use. I'm about to take it trekking in the mountains as a weighs-almost-nothing accessory.

Ok but difficult to focus and would probabaly get a bigger one if I'd tried it first.

This scope is fantastic. I like it so much, that when I lost my first one, after only owning it for a fortnight, I immediately ordered a replacement. The image is so clear, far better than I was expecting for the price. It's very small and light, and fits easily in the hip belt pocket on my rucksack - just remember to zip the pocket closed after you've used it, because it's impossible to find if it falls into the undergrowth. It's identical to the Brunton branded one, which handily comes in bright orange. If it hadn't been so much more expensive, I would have bought that one since it'd be easier to find. I've jury rigged it to the lanyard on my compass this time so it's less likely to go astray

Small, light and compact. I have had no problems focusing this as some reviewers seem to have. Feels very well made. Comes with case, lanyard and cleaning cloth. If it lasts I will be happy with purchase, if not I will update.

I cannot see much difference between this and some priced at £100. It is light, provides a crisp sharp image and is not bad in low light conditions. It is no heavier than a Silva Compass and together they provide great reassurance for those in the hills or out on the marsh.
