Nothing in the search option, just wondering what the opinions are on this model spotting scope? Even though they has been discontinued, I'm so impressed with my Bushnell Elite 4200 scope I recently bought I'm inclined to pick one of these up for toting in my backpack. Thanks. |

This spotting scope has not been discontinued.
It just is sold under the Bushnell name now, just like all old B&L elite optics. It is a good, rugged, compact spotting scope. Image quality is very good. However, FoV is narrow and eye relief is rather short. |

What if the hokey pokey really is what it's all about?

I concur. The eye relief was too short for me to even consider this model. I wear glasses though, so it may be OK for you
I also will add that the one unit I looked through some chromatic aberration that I found objectionable

I bought one of these "used"the other day and like it fine. It is pretty bright up until nearly dark. It works well in my opinion and suits all my needs. Bushnell is still honoring the lifetime warranty. I am not an eyeglass wearer, but I don't have a problem with eye relief.
One of my friends bought the Vortex Sandpiper and it's performance is very similar. NitroSteel |
