Reviews & Ratings for Bushnell Trophy 20-60x65mm Spotting Scope 782065 — 31 reviews — Page 1

400 yards clear view,could spot my shots on paper clearly also took pictures through it. Great scope go for it ...........................................................................................

I bought the spotting scope for the scope not the stand not the case, I shoot at the range out to 200 yds. with a 22wmr marlin and I can see my shots on target perfect. If you shoot longer target shooting you might need a better scope but you can read signs with 1 foot lettering at 1000 yds. so for hunting and spotting game it may be ok.
Pros: very clear
Cons: high power not as clear

Overall the scope has a great feel to it, it is light compared to other models which is why I picked this one.
I recently went on a game scouting trip and could easily see mule deer and antelope at 2+ miles from an elevated location about 500-1000' above the game.
I purchased this unit as a lower cost alternative and for use in backpack hunting and general use.
It comes with a cordura case, and a hard locking type "suitcase". It has a press on lens cover and screw on eyepiece cover. Very handy. Will fit onto a smaller backpack with ease.
Focus is a bit touchy at 60 power and you really have to get your eye in there to see much. More eye releif at higher power would be a plus.
Really good clarity at 20-45to50 power. Foocus is easy and fast, retractable sun shade is a plus.
Mini tripod that it comes with is only good for a shooting bench.
All in all I am pretty well satisfied with this purchase. For the money spent it is a great pruduct.


Pros: lightweight, sun shade, rubber type armored, quiet
Cons: eye releif is minimal at anything above 45 power, at 60 power you need to really get your peeper in there.

Great telescope but with a bit annoying design issue when the focus knob is for small children hands.Great telescope but with a bit annoying design issue when the focus knob is for small children's hands. But at that price you can live with it. Fabulous useful for shooting practice

I've only been using this out to 100 yds so far target shooting. Works ok for that, though with .22 rifles, it's still tough to see the holes in the target. I'll try it out at 300 yds soon with a .308 to see if it is useful, but the optics definitely degrade substantially once you zoom in. Not to mention it's nearly impossible to get your eye lined up correctly at 60x.
Pros: Fine for the price, comes with hard/soft case
Cons: Weak tripod, image soft beyond about 40x, hard to line up eye at high mag

I'm very satisfied with the quality of the image, especially in regard to the price. The mini-tripod is useless, but on a good support the lens make a good job. It's also very light so it's easy to carry in the field.

Spotting Scope is great. Tripod very small and not very durable.

Love the scope, hate the tripod...tripod is cheap!
Pros: easy to use
Cons: tripod could be alot nicer

The last spotting scope I purchased years ago had a much better stand.
It was adjustable. This stand sits too low- and you can not adjust
Pros: Good distance - easy to move
Cons: The stand is too small for what I needed

I have been using various optics for over 35 years, mostly for hunting, target shooting and hard outdoor use. I purchased this specifically for bench rest shooting out to 300 yards. For this purpose I am very pleased at the quality of optics and workmanship. It is a great value for the money and for my basic need does what I expected. For a basic spotting scope that gets the job done at an affordable price, I am happy the Bushnell 20-60 Spotting scope.
Pros: Excellent value for the money, light weight, clear optics, easy to set up and use, great for target shooting.
