I haven't had this scope for very long yet, but I can already tell that the Bushnell Legend is a great item. As a simple test, I printed out some random numbers in size 8 font and posted them about 40-50 feet away. At 20x I could easily read the numbers. The tripod that is included may not be the most heavy-duty, but it has very smooth pan and tilt and is probably about as good as it gets without spending another 100+ dollars. Overall, this is a high-quality scope with some nice accessories included.

I just got the Legend for Christmas and I am very pleased with the image. Even when zoomed out to 60X the image is bright and sharp. For the money I can not find a better spotter. I would recomend a good tripod as the one that comes with is not as stable for a big spotter.

First the not so good.As stated in other reviews,it would be better if the eyepiece was smaller or had a thin rubber contoured boot to block light glare.It does have a zoom out eye piece cover, but does nothing for eye to surface seal.The nylon soft case seemed nice at first, as it has access snap flaps for use when mounted on tripod.The second time I put scope in soft case, it split a seam.Maybe my bad!Didn't buy it for that option any way.Does'nt come with user friendly directions,which brings me to the good news.It has a small knob on the side that allows you to turn the off set lens style,360 degrees.It also comes with a slide out front lens shield,great for cutting glare.Clarity at this price was a pleasant surprise!If I was able to shoot a hole in leaf on tree at 500 yards,I would have seen it with this scope.And looking at the moon was to say the least,unforgetable.

Best spotting scope I have owned. Clarity, detail and brightness is great at all magnification levels. Lens cap could fit a little better and tripod is flimsy. But the scope itself is what I bought and it is excellent.....especially for the money!

Very usable above 30x even though it is not an ED scope, when the atmosphere is cooperating.Great eye relief, focus a little slow but,yields a very sharp image. Tripod that comes with it not substantial enough for 80mm scope. Still, for the price I don't think you can do better until upwards of double the price.
