Old Fujinon 80 spotting scope rejuvenated
Old Fujinon 80 spotting scope sent for cleaning. Came back spotless, light haze removed, light fungus removed from prism. Eyepiece cleaned internally, focus mechanism greased. Floppy lens-hood stiffened. And a free eyepiece lens cap ! Cost IMO reasonable. Turnaround a few weeks. Scope now very usable once more. Thanks.

Superfast delivery. Excellent service.
Phoned to enquire about Swarovski ATC 17-40×56 Spotting Scope. Explained that I was going away on holiday soon and asked how fast could they get it to me. Ordered online Friday at abut 3:00. Got it next day at 4:00 via DPD. Wow! Very helpful member of staff. Outstanding service. (Great telescope too!) Thank you.

Excellent service
I was impressed by the speed it took to speak to a real person. Also by the knowledge shown by the lady who answered the phone and the guy in the parts department. Wish all my experiences were as positive as this.

Bought second hand binoculars
Bought second hand binoculars. Still expensive but they have been extensively rebuilt with good details provided. Only issue is I dont know what if any guarantee their is for them. My fault for not asking but nothing in provided paperwork to help my understanding

Binocular strap
The service by Viking was good, but the reason it didn't get the full 5 stars was because the postage cost was high and the item was a hard material made in prc. I was tempted to return it, but i would have been left out of pocket, and with no strap.
