Bushnell PowerView 13-1650

Pros: An instrument of wonderful quality and performance!

Cons: At night time the extreme power requires tripod mounting, but it is well worth it!

The Bottom Line: I would highly recommend this instrument for everyone. It is almost a spiritual experience in viewing night time sky objects!

Pros: Feels nice and solid, real glass innards. Quick focus, amazing bright image! Good value!

Review: I was going to get a pair of Nikon because I know they have been around and all their other equipment has been fantastic but I settled for these and am glad I did. These are actually quite good. Aren't too heavy or too light and don't feel cheap like ...

Pros: Price, good optics, extra magnification for distant objects, target spotting.

Cons: Adjustable right eyepiece does not have a reference scale.

Review: I purchased this 16x50 model at WalMart for $59. The optics are crisp and clear. Very satisfied, considering the very low price. Comes with a storage bag, and a nice braided nylon adjustable neck strap. The 16 mag power is especially useful for distance ...
