Bushnell Legend Ultra HD 3.1"/80mm Spotting Scope Kit
Bushnell's Legend Ultra HD Spotting Scope offers much of the abilities of the super-premium Elite scope at a price most enthusiasts can afford. The most important of these shared attributes is the objective element of extra-low (ED) dispersion glass, which goes a long way towards improving rendering subtle detail at higher magnifications and in high contrast viewing situations. The Legend Ultra HD has Bushnell's water and oil repelling Rainguard HD external coating, which won't even allow your breath to put fog on the lens.
As the angled viewing version of the 80mm Legend Ultra HD scope, this offers the most comfortable experience when sharing the scope amongst a group, and is generally regarded as being less tiring to use for a long observing session. An angled scope is ideally suited to digiscoping, and Bushnell offers a great universal digiscoping adapter, but does require more experience to quickly locate subjects.

Comments about Bushnell Legend Ultra HD 3.1"/80mm Spotting Scope Kit:
We are very satisfied with this spotting scope; the reach at 60X zoom; the eye piece viewing diameter at all magnifications and the bright optics that come with the the 80mm glass make using this scope a real pleasure to use. Viewing a full moon at 60x and with this optics is almost blinding! The built in front extendable shroud is a nice touch. This performance along with a very reasonable cost was the perfect combination for us.
We have experience with a slightly older Nikon scope with 20-60X zoom and 60mm optics as well the Bushnell Ultra HD 15-45x60 Spotting Scope. The Legend Ultra 80mm is the hands down winner.
The angled eye piece works for our family members. We do no adjusting to the tripod height for family members ranging in height from 5ft tall to 5ft 10in tall.
You will want to have a good sturdy tripod when using the scope. The course adjust is a little stiff but works well. The fine adjust is very smooth. The large glass (80mm) results in a larger and heavier spotting scope but not unreasonable in size... the size is well worth the resulting performance.
We have not yet tried the scope with a monopod, I suspect the tripod will be more comfortable for viewing.
We use the scope primarily for; astronomy, bird & animal watching.

Comments about Bushnell Legend Ultra HD 3.1"/80mm Spotting Scope Kit:
I compared this side by side at a local "Scope City" and the Bushnell looked as good as both the Pentex and Nikon which both cost almost 3 x as much! The big names were nicer but way out of my price range. I think at [$] I got a great scope! I even bought the smaller 12-36X50 to carry on hikes. Great glass on these Legends!
