I was looking for a new pair of binoculars. Does anyone have any opinions on the Bushnessl Legand 10*42's?

Yes both myself and Dad have them.
I have had mine for 4 years and Dad has had them for 2 years with no complaints.
They are probably some of the best money I have spent on hunting gear.

the Legend 8x42 is what's around my neck. Personally I like the 8x over the 10x. The price is great right now if you are considering getting them out of the USA.... just a quick search and they can be found for $250.
If I were to do it over again, I would take a good look at some of the Nikon as well and the Leupold models, they seem a little lighter and are right around the same $ value.
A link for you..

When I was shopping for mine. I found that the Bushnell gave me a clearer view over the similar priced Leopuld's.

Wow $250. I think mine were $400 + a few years back.

I looked at the Leopold Cascade 8x42 bio's compared to the Bushnell's i'd spend the money on Leupold.I seen them on Ebay for about $270cdn compared to local dealers $390....I think if you gonna spend $250 on Bushnell why not spend a little extra and get something better(IMO) .Everyone has different eye's and see's thing at a different way but go try them all especially the ones in your dollar figure...Nothing wrong with Bushnell,i have the Legend scope
