Product Description

From the Manufacturer
Aptly suited for the back country or equally noble endeavors like the back porch, the compact NatureView spotting scopes give naturalists and birders a window on the world at a realistic price. With our ultra-compact 78-1645 model, you get ultra-long eye relief (37mm at 15x) for use with sunglasses or eyeglasses. Fully coated optics brighten the picture and a wide field-of-view keeps the whole performance in frame. In fact, it even includes a camera adapter for telephotography.

Specifications for this Bushnell spotting scope include:

• Magnification: 15-45x
• Objective lens: 60mm
• Field of view (feet at 1,000 yards): 150 at 15x, 38 at 45x

Tech Talk
Magnification: Spotting scopes are often referred to by two numbers separated by an "x". For example: 15-45x60. The first number is the power or magnification of the spotting scope. With a 15-45x60 variable power spotting scope, the object being viewed appears to be 15-45 times closer than you would see it with the unaided eye.

Field of View: Field of view is the side-to-side measurement of the circular viewing field or subject area. It is defined by the width in feet or meters of the area visible at 1000 yards or meters. A wide field of view is better for following fast-moving action or scanning for wildlife. Generally, the higher the magnification, the narrower the field of view.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent range scope, April 15, 2008

By	Timothy M. Farley (Mineral Wells, Texas) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I purchased this scope to used at the range to view my 100 yard rifle targets. I spent many hours looking over spotting scopes and reading reviews on the Internet, before selecting this Bushnell Nature View scope. The main reason this scope was selected was its extended eye relief feature, a necessary item for me, as I wear glasses ALL the time.
I set the scope on 20X power, and focus in on my target. At 100 yards, .30 caliber bullet holes are clearly visible.
This is a compact, well built, quality scope, at a very attractive price. If you are looking for a range spotting scope, this model should more than meet your needs, and do so at an affordable price.

5.0 out of 5 stars A bargain spotting scope, October 10, 2008

By	Chao-wen Liang - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I wear eye glass all the time and need a scope with ultra long eye relief. After some research on internet, I got this scope which appears to have the longest eye relief within my budget. This scope also has some positive reviews on amazon and other bird watching websites.
As expected, the scope has a extra long eye relief that can makes me comfortable using the scope with eye glass on. Besides that, the scope is well builted and the field of view is wider than I expected. I got the scope more than five years ago, and it still working perfectly besides some exterior scuff I made when it falling from the tripod. Even after the falling,the image quality of this scope is still as good as my old Nikon scope. It would be better if this scope has splash proof version. But again, for the price, you can't beat it. This is a quality scope for those bird watching beginner that can't live without eye glasses.
