Best Bushnell Binoculars

Bushnell 133450 Falcon 10x50 Wide Angle Binoculars may not be the most exceptional product from the said company as far as every single category goes but it is probably one of the most balanced pairs of binoculars that the entry-level binoculars market has to offer. For a fairly economical price, you will receive a model that will prove to be a great fit for a number of different applications, from bird-watching and hunting to improving the quality of your experience at sports stadiums and concerts.

Despite the affordable price tag, the Bushnell binoculars in question offer 10x magnification. Of course, magnification of such proportions carries some drawbacks with it as well, like a narrower field of view or a dimmer image. To counteract these drawbacks, the company made sure to implement 50mm lenses. The latter do a great job when it comes to gathering as much light as possible, making the model a good fit for low-light scenarios and activities such as astronomy and hunting at dusk or dawn. Though, to be fair, this solution presents another issue which is the increased weight that comes with the bigger lenses. Unfortunately, that is something that you're going to have to deal with. Finally, in order to further cement the claim that this is one of the more well-balanced models, we would like to bring up the 25-foot close focusing distance, which may prove to be a bit underwhelming for bird-watching but quite good for all kinds of general purposes.

To sum it all up, Bushnell 133450 Falcon 10x50 are one of the best Bushnell binoculars for the kind of customers who don't really have a specific preference nor a singular hobby that requires a particular tool as, again, this is one of the most well-balanced models of the company that suits a variety of applications.

Bushnell 133410C Falcon 7x35 is another versatile pair of binoculars from the eponymous company that will prove to be fairly suitable for a variety of applications. That said, unlike the latest iteration of the Falcon series, it won't be that great of a fit when it comes to certain hunting activities or observing sports events at large stadiums. Mostly because of the 7x magnification which, generally speaking, isn't too shabby as far as all-rounder models are concerned, but there are better offers out there from the very same company.

That said, both the smaller lens and the less impressive magnification power have a number of advantages as well. For starters, the model offers a 420-foot field of view at a distance of 1000 yards. Combine that with 7x magnification that ensures better focus and brightness and what you're left with is a pair of Bushnell binoculars that will be great for bird-watching. Besides, the 35mm lenses make the model much lighter compared to its successor, meaning that it will be a better fit for certain hunting activities where those few ounces could be the difference between success and failure. We would also be remiss not to mention an instant focus lever that ensures smooth feedback, offering just enough tension to fine-tune magnification. Other than that, not dissimilar to other models from Bushnell, a Porro prism and coated lenses are there to secure a sharp viewing experience. Finally, the clever fold-down eye cups will prove to be a blessing in no disguise for people that wear glasses as they protect the lenses of your glasses from scratching.

All things considered, Bushnell 133410C Falcon 7x35 is a fairly versatile model that will be able to handle an impressive number of different assignments, though it is much better suited for bird-watching and certain hunting activities that take place during the day.

The most defining characteristic and by far the biggest advantage of Bushnell 131225 PowerView 12x25 compared to the majority of Bushnell binoculars is, without a doubt, the Roof prism that it comes equipped with. The difference between the latter and the Porro prism is that the Roof one makes it seem as if the light goes straight through, while the Porro features a jog in the light path through each barrel. The model in question also incorporates a center focus system that helps in terms of improving the overall viewing experience.

Despite the fact that they offer 12x magnification, the lens diameter is actually limited to just 25mm. Of course, that means the lens will let in less light compared to their wider counterparts but that's also the reason these binoculars weigh just a smidge above 11 ounces.

That said, it isn't just performance that matters when it comes to binoculars but also the convenience and comfort of operation. Which is why the experts at Bushnell made sure to equip this one with rubberized, abrasion-resistant finish. The non-slip rubber armor serves two purposes - absorbing shock and providing a firm grip, making the particular pair of binoculars a pretty good choice for hikers. To further expand on that premise, the aforementioned experts also included a carrying case and a neck strap that will undoubtedly prove to be useful on the go. We could also mention the fully coated optics that ensure a brighter view but we believe that we have already made our point, which is that this pair of Bushnell PowerView binoculars combines the contemporary design and modern solutions with traditional Bushnell quality and durability, making up for one of the better entry-level binoculars for hikers and travelers.

Bushnell 139825 Powerview 8x25 may not necessarily offer the most impressive properties in regards to performance but if there's one thing that the model has going for it, it is definitely the model's compact size and lightweight construction. Weighing around 9 ounces, you will easily be able to use this pair of binoculars with a single hand for a prolonged period of time. The fact that they also come with a strap and a case makes the model great for all kinds of traveling purposes, especially if you take into account the non-slip, shock-absorbing rubberized coating that will be able to do wonders in terms of extending the service life of the model in the wild.

Other than that, the Bushnell PowerView binoculars feature some of the same specs that you would expect out of a model from Bushnell. The variable 8x magnification makes the model a bit more versatile than you would expect. Of course, 25mm lenses won't be able to gather as much light but that is the price you ought to be willing to pay for the decrease in size and weight. Nevertheless, it's not like these lenses won't be able to deliver when it matters most thanks to the BaK-7 prisms and multi-coated optics that provide high-level image resolution and clarity. While the latter do their magic, the InstaFocus system will simplify the task of pulling focus as you view the field.

And that's about all there is to it. Like we said earlier, Bushnell 139825 isn't necessarily the most impressive option on the market in terms of specs but it is easily one of the lightest models you will ever be able to find, so it will prove to be a solid choice for individuals who are always on the go.

Right off the bat, what we have here is a bit of a different offer compared to other models in this review. As the "Xtra-Wide" part of the name suggests, what makes the model stand out is a fairly ridiculous field of view. To be a bit more precise, a field of view of 900 feet at the distance of 1000 yards, which is almost three times wider than your average pair of Bushnell binoculars. Though there isn't a binocular-related activity out there that wouldn't be able to benefit from such an incredible FoV, where the spec in question would be able to shine the most is sports events. Whether you would like to have a close view of a couple of cars racing each other at the opposite end of the track or observe the pass being completed as the quarterback gets tackled, these are the best Bushnell binoculars for you. That said, if you do not necessarily care for sports, you could also use this product to watch the entire cast on stage as if they're standing a few feet away from you or use it to go hunting or fishing.

While we're still on the subject of specs, there are a couple of things we have to discuss before wrapping this whole thing up. First off, there are the fully multicoated optics that will be able to ensure outstanding brightness and light transmission. The latter work in conjunction with the PermaFocus™ technology that will allow you to enjoy every ounce of the show as it helps the binoculars catch the most quick-moving action. In conclusion, even without bringing up the construction and the additional accessories, Bushnell 130521 is easily one of the most interesting offers from Bushnell and the best pair of binoculars for sports fans in its price range.
