Bushnell Legend 10x42 Ultra HD Monocular, Optical Performance for Hunting and Wildlife Observation

I first bought a pair of NOCS , and they just didn’t fit on right with my glasses and they weren’t powerful enough for me 10x32These are great 10x40 , easy focus with one hand , clear view , I will use them when I’m on a cruise to see some whales.In the hand.The caps are great but when they are on the product , but when they are off of the scope the straps get in the way, and you have to hold it to keep it from swinging. The cap at the end of the monocular only opens so far and kinda gets in the way.Overall great scope when you want something more compact and lighter than binoculars this is it.

Quality product. Much easier to focus than typical binoculars. Easy to store. Like to use to view Whitetail Deer.

Compact and very clear images.This monocular allows for quick spotting without bulk. Easy to focus. Great clarity.I’ve switched to Bushnell products nearly 20 years ago. I had an issue on one optic and Bushnell replaced the optic with an upgrade model…no questions ask!!

Monocular works fine however Bushnell should really absorb the maybe $1extra in cost for stainless steel screws for this item that's made to be used in the outdoors.

Just received item and very impressed plan to use alot

Background: I'm mostly blind and have started birding. My right eye doesn't really work, so why carry an extra heavy binocular tube? This is the best monocular I've been able to find, and believe me- I did a ton of research before choosing it. The Bushnell monocular is the only one that lists all it's specs and details. I've looked at the top competitors: Vortex, Wingspan, and Gosky have comparable monoculars, but I found them to be sketchy because of the lack of detail provided by both seller and company. They may well be very nice optics, but I like to Know what I'm getting into.Good stuff:I opted for a 10 power optic, not the standard 8 used in birding.One hand focus works quickly enough to aquire the target within seconds.The image quality is what I would expect from something like a Nikon Monarch 400 (I think that's what it's called). It's super clear, and easy to stabilize- not that it shakes that much at that power anyway.It's sturdy enough to be banged around in my pack, and has held up to a drop or two from it. I was ecstatic to find the Cooper's hawk before any in my group.Bad stuff:Well, considering the Bushnell legend hd roof prism binoculars of the same size run around the same price, I think this optic is pretty expensive. This is assuming that this optic is adapted from half of that set.The top lense cap is made of hard plastic, which can damage the coating and make annoying clanking sounds if it pops off.I don't think much of the case, which is bulky and poorly designed where utility is concerned.If shaken vigorously, this optic will rattle a bit. The source of the sound is a loosely fit tube housing around the screw that adjusts focus. It's not a main component, and isn't going to affect the actual Working mechanisms, which are all well fitted and tight.

My friend really appreciated this gift. It works far better than the one he already had.

Going to be Christmas present for my son, as I have had one for years.
