Thanks so much for all the advice guys. It looks like some good brands have been thrown out there. I still have to wait a little bit before the missus will let me buy anything more

, so i'll keep reading and keeping my eyes peeled in the classifieds section of the site
Oh also, I'm just wondering, when putting the eye pieces in the scope am I meant to push them in as far as they will go or do I just go half way (the way I have been doing at the moment, it seems to focus better that way). Just wanna make sure I'm doing it right haha.
