Comments about Bushnell Discoverer 2.4"/60mm Spotting Scope Kit:
I own 7 spotting scopes, 3 of these. By far the best buy on the market. Clear and clean overall view, no blurring and excellent field of view. The only other scope that that might be better costs a couple grand. I use these in the field often 4 to 6 hours a day, 4 to 6 days a week for a couple months a year. No eye strain. Many times watching out over 3 to 4 miles, sometimes farther.
