Can anyone tell me if the Gray telescopes are worth the money?
Grays Telescopes are traditional 3 draw, which will enable detailed subject viewing at over 1 mile, which simply can't be done with Binoculars.
With that said they are mainly used for open hill stalking, where they come into their own.
At around £1250 new 25x50, I think I'd be looking (second hand). As it's a lot of lolly,to only be used occasionally if one was not a full time stalker.
They do a 24x60 Single Draw for around the £300 quid mark.

Rgds, Buck.
PS. Doing mainly woodland stalking my Leica's will do me fine.
No, but have used the single draw Swarovski. The beauty of the three draw scopes are their length and balance. The single draw is not as nice.
Is a holland and holland or a Bentley worth the money?
Depends who you are an what you are after, for stags I would rather a telescope than a pair of bino's.
My favourite glass is the Ross but sadly no longer available new but can be found on evil bay. The Gray is a cracking scope and mine has served me well and will be handed down to one of my sons , the same way my grandfathers Ross was given down to me, who can say that about a pair of modern binos ?
One will get the Ross ad One the Gray's, they are all ready sticking their names on the guns!!!!!!!!
