Bushnell Elite 20-60x 80mm Porro Prism Waterproof/Fogproof Spotting Scope
Good scope for the price, but only with the 30X eyepiece.,
Optically this spotting scope is really very good with the fixed power 30X eyepiece. The image is very bright and sharp and the field of view is decent. It’s hard to find much fault with it.
I cannot recommend the zoom lens as its field of view and image quality just don’t compete with many newer scopes nor does it come close to the quality of the 30X fixed power eyepiece. Sadly it appears this eyepiece is no longer being made by Bushnell. If you can find the 30X eyepiece, it’s still a good value even though you have to buy it with the zoom eyepiece. The zoom may satisfy some, but if you want very good image quality, use the 30X or go with another (admittedly more expensive) scope.
I give it three stars because as it comes (with the 20-60x zoom) it’s mediocre. If you can find it, the 30X is a great and cheap upgrade.

|OUTSTANDING SPOTTING SCOPE,
I have the military version of this scope, which only differs due to the “Elite” logos being removed from the sides. I use this scope in Afghanistan, it has been treated roughly and continues to focus and zoom smoothly. Very good light gathering for a small scope. Rubberized, with soft lens-cap up front, hard plastic lens-cap for the eyepiece. The only thing I can say negative about the scope is that the eye relief is very short, at least shorter than other scopes I have used in the past. This negative is perhaps a little nit-picky as the scope is also much smaller and lighter than other scopes that I have used.
