LAViking's Review of Bushnell Nitro 20-60x65 Spotting Scope

I have a 4” refractor telescope for the celestial viewing, but for terrestrial glassing this is a really good spotter. Glass is excellent and crisp edge to edge. Coatings are good and color fringing is very controlled with only very mild chromatic aberration at the extreme end of the zoom range. About 55Xish. I took this out to test it’s celestial abilities to view the moon and the closer planets. It can resolve Jupiter’s cloud bands and the 4 largest moons, (Callisto, Ganymede, Io, Europa), Saturn and the ring structure and the Moon craters in vast detail. Mars is a bit smaller, but you can see the disk and orange hue. Terrestrial glassing is exceptional, trees are highly detailed from 100’s of meters away. Birds and animals are clear and identifiable from much further than my binos can detect. I have not yet had it to the range for shooting, but based on what I have already tested, I will likely not be disappointed. Overall I am happy with this scope. I will habit for a long time.
Pros:
  • Crisp field of view across the entire lense.
  • Exceptional color and clarity with no chromatic aberration up to 50X zoom and near zero color fringing to 60X depending the lighting
  • Dual coarse/fine focus dials work very well.
  • Build quality is solid magnesium body with aluminum rings between the sections of the scope
Cons:
  • Zoom knob is firm to turn
Best Used for:
  • Range shooting, birding, hunting and mild astronomy within the close solar system (Moon, Jupiter, Saturn)
Would Recommend: Yes
