Bushnell Model: Sentry Spotting Scope 18-36 x 50mm
Review Category: Hunting Gear Misc
Purchase: Hunting Gear Misc I bought this spotting scope from my local Peavey Mart for $60 Canadian. I bought it for the express purpose of hunting. It included a hard impact resistant case, an 18-36 x 50mm spotting scope, a strap, a compact tripod, lens cleaning cloth, and lens covers.
Things I like about the Bushnell Sentry Spotting Scope 18-36 x 50mm Hunting Gear Misc: I liked most everything about this kit when I bought it, and it proved to be a pretty good buy. The spotting scope is of good quality, and dropping it more than once has not seemed to affect it any. The case is of good quality. My nephew once accidently dropped the case off of the balconey of his fifth storey apartment, and nothing whatsoever happened to the case, or anything inside of it (luckily including the scope!). The strap is of good quality, and provides a comfortable way of carrying the case on long walks through the bush. The spotting scope is waterproof, and having had it out through some pretty heavy rains, I can honestly say that I have had no problems with water getting into it. Impressive image clarity and light transmission.
What I don't like about the Bushnell Sentry Spotting Scope 18-36 x 50mm: I really didn't like the compact tripod, and found it useless for just about everything. I couldn't even see above the stuble in the fields with it (It's roughly 12 inches tall). The rubber grip on the magnification ring started slipping after having it for about 7 months, as well as the magnification numbers wearing off.
Hunting Gear Misc Sentry Spotting Scope 18-36 x 50mm quality: Great construction, and decent quality.
Sentry Spotting Scope 18-36 x 50mm summary: For the price I paid, I was happy with my purchase. Overall however, I believe if I were to buy one again, I would buy something that fits my needs slightly better.
