* 20x-60x zoom magnification
* Objective lens diameter: 60mm
* Rubber-coated body
* Fully-coated blue lenses with eye-cups
* Metal mini table tripod
* Carrying pouch

Probably good enough for the rifle range.

Bought one of these last time they were on sale. Decent enough scope for the price, and we were using them to spot at 1000yds at Bisley, so they can't be that bad.
Bow down before my furry magnificence!

I've just been in and bought one. Quite impressed! The tripod alone is nearly woth the £20!

Bit dark at 60x, but then you won't need that most of the time. Focussing is a bit iffy aswell, but for £20 and a 3 year warranty, you can't go far wrong.

They had a few left too!

Also picked up a 500w hot glue gun in carry case with glue sticks and extra nozzles for £6! Packs of 32 glue sticks for £2.49.

The missus had just pulled up outside after you phoned, Rob, so didn't check Aldi... I'll check myself maybe tomorrow.
