Bushnell Prime 16-48x50 Spotting Scope Fully Multi-Coated, IPX7 Waterproof, Argon Purged, Tabletop Tripod and Window Mount Included
A light, compact spotter that reaches out to 48x without the premium price tag. The Bushnell Prime 16-48x50 pairs fully multi-coated glass with a fully sealed, argon-purged body, and it ships with a tabletop tripod that doubles as a car window mount so you can be glassing the minute you get there.
Key Features
- 16x to 48x zoom range: open up wide to sweep a ridge or a field, then dial in to confirm what you are actually looking at
- 50mm objective: gathers enough light to stay usable through first light and the last hour of legal shooting time
- Fully multi-coated optics: anti-reflective layers on every air-to-glass surface lift brightness, contrast and color fidelity
- EXO Barrier lens coating: Bushnell's exterior coating sheds water, oil, dust and fingerprints so the glass clears itself instead of smearing
- Argon purged: the body is filled with dry argon, so the internal optics will not fog when you go from a cold truck to a warm morning
- IPX7 waterproof: O-ring sealed and rated for 30 minutes under three feet of water, which covers any rain you will ever hunt in
- Rotating tripod collar: spin the body to put the eyepiece exactly where your head already is, without touching the tripod
- Sliding sunshade: extends over the objective to kill glare and lens flare when the sun is low and off to the side
- Twist-up eyecup: set it down for eyeglass wearers, twist it up for a full field of view without them
- Tripod and window mount included: the tabletop tripod separates so the upper mount clamps straight onto a vehicle window
Description
Spotting scopes earn their keep on the days you need to tell a legal animal from a young one at 600 yards, or call your own shots at the range without walking downrange every five minutes. The Prime 16-48x50 was built for exactly that work. At 16x you get a field wide enough to actually find what you are looking for, and by the time you crank it to 48x the 50mm objective and fully multi-coated glass are still handing you a bright, high-contrast picture instead of a washed-out one.
The build is what makes it a field scope rather than a fair-weather one. O-ring seals take it to an IPX7 waterproof rating, argon purging keeps condensation off the inside of the glass through hard temperature swings, and the EXO Barrier coating on the exterior lenses keeps rain and fingerprints from ruining the view. At 12.8 inches and just over two pounds it rides easily in a pack, and the rotating tripod collar lets you set eyepiece position without breaking down your setup. Backed by Bushnell's limited lifetime warranty.
