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.

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.

I've used refractor scopes, spotting scopes, binoculars and camera lenses for many years. I know what optics should do and this scope is an example of everything it shouldn't do. If you are aware of what chromatic abberation, purple fringing is, then you have heard enough to go somewhere else. This scope has purple fringing on Everything! Any edge will have it, trees, rocks, buildings, animals, birds, even grass! It has to be the worst scope I have ever tried. Even the cheap $50 refractors have less fringing than this one and it's not just high contrast areas, it happens in Shady areas too! Absoultely not useable. Also the construction was poor. The two halves of the body are loose and rattle. If you tighten them, the adjustment ring for the focus binds and locks up. The front hood digs into the body when extended and overall fit & finish is less than expected. If you feel this is a good scope, then you must not know what a good scope is. Even the Barska & NcStar junk is a step above this one! I can't afford a good scope any more, so I tried a cheap one. Now I just want to ship it back and forget the whole thing....

se lo compre a mi padre... y le encanto.. tiene buena capacidad..
