yep, I still have a POS FWIW Bushnelll spotting scope purchased 10 years ago. Needless to say, I was hesitant to purchase anything Bushnell. However, after trying them out at several sniper expo, demo range, and add master Rick endorsement and the intro price, I thought I had nothing to lose. Absolutely no regret. I'm now looking to get Bushnell bino and range finder actually

I checked out some online today and the reviews were all great and some pretty good deals as well (Not that I needed online reviews after getting the input here).
I most likely won't be purchasing for a couple weeks unless some crazy super ultra amazing one time only Black Friday online sale randomly appears on my homepage, so any and all input still welcome and as always appreciated. Also still open to anyone looking to part with one.
Thanks,
Mike

I understand you don't want to go cheap, but good bang for your buck should not be ignored IMHO

I've played with this for a few years, dropped it, shot it at varying illumination, etc. BLUF, if you can tolerate mushy turret and reticle light that spills FOV, the Japanese-made glass quality is too good for the price. Hence, the bang for your buck
