    Svbony 406P/46P 80mm spotters anyone?

    Got mine a couple of hours ago, rushed to test it against the Nikon ED82A. It seems a very fine and bright scope, and the zoom was a lot more to my liking than I had expected. Got very close to seeing the full FOV with spectacles at all magnifications. My Nikon scope is apparently a cherry, and...
