Decent scope for the $
Pros
Value, Bushnell quality, durable, simple, peep sight, nice case.
Cons
A better tripod would be nice. Don't expect super brightness at high magnification levels.
Recommended it?
Yes
The Bottom Line:
Good name brand spotter for under $100.
I bought mine used ( in Camo armored) from someone on the net as a "leave it in the truck " scope. I paid $50 but feel it is a good scope at the new/twice that price. The scope itself is typical Bushnell quality. Fit and finish is VG and operation of the zoom lense is smooth. Optics are very good for a 50MM scope but as can be expected arn't stellar in brightness as the zoom is cranked. Still it's all that you need for spotting .22 holes @ 100 yd ranges or birding. Try pushing it beyond that though and your going to loose detail and brightness fast. The peep is a very usful feature for getting on target fast.
The tripod is BASIC but functional. Wish it had a height adjustment but it doesn't. The compact blow molded case and screw on rear/press on front lense covers do a great job at protecting what isn't rubber covered.
All, in all a good choice if you want a general purpose spotting scope without breaking the $100 mark.
p.s. FWIW, I currently have spotting scopes valued in the $10 to $700 range so feel the review above is honest and accurate in comparison /expectations.
