Bushnell Excursion 8x42 Waterproof / Fogproof PC3 Binocular

 (4 customer reviews)

I got a pair of these for Christmas. Initially, I was skeptical about the quality of an inexpensive roof-prism optic, and this isn't my favorite brand name either. But contrary to my expectations, I've been extremely impressed with them so far.

Good brightness, contrast, sharpness, field of view, and close focus all exceeded my expectations for a binocular at this price point. Feel, fit and finish are all very good.

I wear eyeglasses, and these binoculars still deliver a nice wide view through the eyepiece. The twist-down eyecups are quick to extend / retract if you are sharing these with someone who doesn't wear glasses.

They come with a decent carry case, and relative to porro-prism types, the weight and compactness are both a little bit better.

If you are looking for a good binocular for birding or general use, I highly recommend you take a look through these in addition to the other popular models. I think for a less serious amateur...Read more

The Excursion binoculars are a very good pair of optics. My buddy has a pair of Swaroski EL-1100
which we put side by side and looked at deer 1000 yds away. We could tell very little difference in the resolution. I recommend this binocular to anyone who wants affordable quality optics.

I did some research to find the best binocs in this price range. I am confident that I found them. They are great for sports or any general use.
