Were there commas in the figures by any chance?  Some European countries
(e.g. Germany) use a comma as a decimal point, and full stops where we
use commas to separate thousands etc.  If so, I'd guess that they were
10x70 binoculars with a narrow field of view (8m at 280m = 1.6 degrees -
similar to spotting scopes.)
