    New Viking 8x42 ED FF w fieldflatteners

    Third day of using the FF and they are really endearing themselves to me. I honestly find it hard to fault them in any way, they just tick all the boxes, especially for the price, quite astonishing really. I think they are a real hidden gem on the UK market. Got a wide Optech strap today too...

    New Viking 8x42 ED FF w fieldflatteners

    I very unexpectedly bought some ED FF 8x42's today so just thought I'd do a little report on them. I was planning on getting the new Opticron dba vhd's but after trying a whole bunch of bins got these instead. Not nearly as nice ergonomically as the opticrons and a lot heavier but at £230...
