Bushnell 10x42 Legend Ultra HD Monocular (Tan)

The predecessor of the Legend Ultra HD model, the Bushnell Legend 10x42, was tested by us during our big test of 10x42 devices. It got a very good result – over 130 points. Still the producer decided to launch a successor, with a lower physical weight and a wider field of view, with better coatings...

  weak image resolution on the edge of the field of view.

The 10x42 Ultra HD Tactical Monocular is awesome. Used in light snow in a 4 hours mountain desert hike the day after receiving it - it is an excellent field tool. Easy to use with one hand, great clarity and field of vision. The light snow had no effect on vision.

I owned both scopes at the time of the review last summer. I have since sold the TEC 140. February 9, 2012

I have wanted a small portable optic with a mead Reticle for some time. The options were few and quite expensive. While doing research I found the Legend monocular and was astonished at the price. Usually with optics, you get what you pay for. Not so here.

* Easy to focus and adjust. The glass is very sharp. I would recommend to anybody that need great binoculars at a price that won't break the bank
