Who Is This Binocular For?
The Bushnell PowerView 2 8x42 is a good choice for someone who wants a compact, affordable binocular with a rugged metal build. It is well suited to hiking, game viewing, birdwatching and general outdoor viewing.
The 8x magnification and 42mm lenses make a good all-round pairing. The multi-coated optics bring in plenty of light for a clear, vibrant image, even in low light. The roof prism design is more streamlined and compact than a standard binocular, so it is easier to hold and simpler to store.
One of the main advantages is the all-metal chassis at this price. It is built for ruggedness and durability, so it won't crack in extreme cold or distort in intense heat. The soft-touch rubber armour and textured grip give you a firm hold, even in one hand.
The PowerView 2 is aimed at value and everyday use rather than premium optical performance. Someone who uses binoculars regularly or wants a step up in optics may prefer to look at the wider Bushnell binocular range we stock.
