Website was easy to use. Product was well presented (described). Ordering process was easy and delivery was fast, even during Holiday crunchtime. I was expecting good, they delivered great. I recommend the product and this on-line retailer.

I bird often and the optics are unbeatable for the price. The only problem is with the way the strap connects to the binoculars. Forget about using your own harness, Bushnell decided not to opt for the industry standard on this one. The strap buttons are made out of cheap plastic. The one on the right broke after a little over a year of normal use. Not long after, the lock in the binoculars on the left side came out. Furthermore, Bushnell has no online customer service. I would have given this model a perfect five had it not been for the cheap strap connectors.

The Bushnell excursions are absoulutly the most bang for the buck in serious optics for a small price. Comfortable eye cups, super brightness, and solid build. I dont know if I like the strap connectos though, I just have a difficult timeseeing them still functional in twenty or so years. But overall they are super.

This product came through for my wife and I. We went bird watching near a lake in St. Cloud and these were great. Didn't fog up or get ruined, even after falling in the water. We saw everything nice and clear for a good price. Highly recommended.
