Current slide {CURRENT_SLIDE} of {TOTAL_SLIDES}- Best Selling in Binoculars
The Bushnell Legend series binoculars are among the best buys at their respective price points. The top of the Legend line, the M series, was replaced by the Bushnell Forge line which has minor improvements, but optical performance is similar. The Legend M 8x42 is bright, very sharp center field, with high contrast. The sweet spot is of good size, but of course not as large as the sweet spot on my $1000 Fujinon FMT-SX 10x50 binoculars. The Legend M 8x42 compares very well with competitive roof prism binoculars in the $500 price range made by Nikon or Vortex, but the Legend M can be found for less than half that price used in excellent condition making it a best buy. I'd consider buying another for a graduation present for one of my kids.

Bushnell Legend M's are a great buy at some discount prices that have been around lately. They are full of up to date features, which translates to a better view comparable to higher priced binoculars, at a great price. The deliver bright, sharp detail with a neutral color balance, unlike some are very warm in colors. Each way has pros and cons, but these are very nice, if you can handle a full size binocular, and don't need a compact. 10 power isn't always easy to hold steady either, for older or very young (little people need small binoculars). I prefer 10x for more detail at longer range, though in a closer environment and distances like woods walking, most prefer 7 or 8x, with 8 being the norm for most situations. The 7 and 8's are easier to hold steady for any and all observers, so take that into consideration and you may be happier with the lower 8x, or even 7. I even have a 6x32 that I like to use in the woods, so there is a use for them all.

Excellent optics and very good mechanical construction. Punches above its price point, and is competitive with binoculars in the $500 range. Nice field of view and excellent handling of chromatic aberration. The only downside is the size and weight compared to other binoculars in this price range. However, the weight is not that crazy compared to other binoculars of similar optical quality. The open bridge design and locking diopter ring and nice little bonuses.

Very good binoculars for the money. Yes, you can get much better ones if you are willing to spend a lot more. They have a good solid feel, the grip is good. I like the locking diopter so you are not constantly having to refocus for you eyes. Clarity is very good.

Very clear and great balance in the hand. Outperforms my other optics by far. Good solid construction.
