Bushnell Sentry 18-36 x 50mm Porro Prism Waterproof/Fogproof Spotting Scope with Tabletop Tripod, Black

I purchased this for use at the rifle range and I was looking for a good balance of size, price, and performance. Based on my initial use, this model seems to fit the bill.It is relatively small compared to other spotting scopes I have looked at and fits easily in my range bag using the soft cover. The included hard case makes the item much larger, but obviously offers better protection. Both the soft and hard cases are rather cheap, but they work. The 36x focal length and 50mm objective seem to be enough for shooting up to 200 yards in daylight conditions. I haven't tested it in cloudy or low-light conditions and my rifle range doesn't go past 200 yards. If you are going to use it in low-light or at significantly longer distances, you may want more focal length and a larger objective, but the tradeoff will be size and price for similar performance.The price seems to put this model above the budget models and well below the higher-end models... which is what I was looking for... I just need to see bullet holes in targets, I am not concerned about seeing all of the fine details in wildlife, etc. The optics are what I expected at this price, the build quality seems good (time will tell), and the adjustment knobs are smooth. The tripod is very cheap and made of thin metal, however, it does its job, seems plenty durable, and I actually like how small it folds up since size was a big part of my decision. If you need a fancier tripod, you can buy that separate.Overall, I recommend this model to anyone looking for a high value.

I did some shopping around and found this spotting scope and I must say I'm very pleased with the whole purchase.A very reasonable price and a whole lot of quality . Bushnell has been around for a very long time , and now I see why .I bought this scope for my son and I for long range target shooting . Nice clarity even in low light conditions , water proof , fog proof and a built in Sun shade . It doesn't stop there the scope comes with an awesome hard case , soft caseand a lightweight metal tripod with slip resistant rubber feet and is fully adjustable . with that being said I would definitely recommend this scope to all who are interested in long range shooting , birth watching or just checking out the scenery .

I bought this for target shooting. I use a hundred yard range. At that distance the scope works well, even in low light.I think it's a good deal for the money. At this price point its great. It is not a Zeiss though, but at a tenth of the price it does not have to be.

I bought this for my husband for Christmas and he absolutely loves it!! It’s extremely precise and comes with a very nice/sturdy case. I highly recommend this product!

I like I seen better and I seen worse it seems worth the money but I see myself buying another one soon so its not tat but good enough to use super cheapo stand

My husband was very happy with this product! He was pleasantly surprised how fast it was shipped. 5 star for sure!

This is a nice, inexpensive scope. I bought this scope specifically for use while shooting with iron sights. I have not used it at distances beyond 200 yards, but at 200 yds. and closer it has been great. Very clear glass.

First time to the range, and the little tripod falls over on the table, lands on the sunshade, and the focal/sunshade lense snap right off. Very thin plastic where the lense is threaded on.It tipped/fell less than 6 inches, and broke. I will never buy another bushnell part again. Going for better quality that has a no fault warranty. Bushnell's customer service is terrible. Waste of money.
