All complaints about the quality and operation of the technique refer to Chinese counterfeits, which, apart from their appearance, have nothing to do with Bushnell products.

The most popular among the monoculars of the company is the super-powerful Bushnell 16x52 device. But the rest of the models (95x52, 35x95,16x40) are endowed with excellent characteristics.

Bushnell is a world-renowned company that values ​​its authority. It would seem that reviews of monoculars should only be positive, but this is not the case. The opinions of users turned out to be not only different, but absolutely contradictory. The real positive aspects include the light weight and compactness of the device, in this regard it is so invisible that you can carry it with you all the time. This fact is noted even in negative reviews.

Most owners of monoculars are enthusiastic about the possibilities of night vision, clear images, excellent zoom, good range. Celebrate the quality of the lenses and the reliability of the sturdy, non-slip housing.

At the same time, in other reviews, in addition to the pleasant price formed by a successful promotion, there is a solid negative. There is no night vision at all, the image is blurry, and the plastic on the case is unlikely to withstand an accidental fall. Buyers are especially outraged by the declared range of 8000 m, but in fact there is no 800 or 16-fold increase, although the device does not even increase 2 times.

Having studied the problem deeper, we found the answer to these contradictions. It turns out that some little-known online stores under the brand name of the famous brand sell for 1000-1500 rubles. Chinese fakes, in fact toys with plastic lenses without any FullVision dusting, in a weak case that will not protect either from water or shock, although all these "miracles" are promised in the proposed specifications.

There is only one conclusion: good equipment cannot be cheap, and it should be purchased on sites that are official suppliers of Bushnell optical devices.
