Bushnell Prime 12 Binocular

Product Description

The Bushnell Prime 12×50 binocular is a 12x magnification optic built for hunting glassing and long-range field observation. The 12 power pulls distant ground in close, and the 50mm objective lenses gather light for a bright, clear image. This is a solid choice for hunters scanning hillsides and field edges, as well as wildlife watchers and hikers who want a closer look at terrain from a distance.

Built to Handle Weather and Extended Use

The binocular carries an IPX7 water resistance rating, so rain and wet conditions will not sideline it. Additionally, the body is argon gas purged—Bushnell’s anti-fog treatment that keeps the inside clear when temperature and humidity shift. The optics are multi-coated to preserve image quality and contrast.

12x Magnification and Steady Viewing

Twelve power shows impressive detail at distance, but it also magnifies hand movement. Therefore, if you plan to glass for long stretches, pairing the Bushnell Prime 12×50 with a tripod or shooting rest will deliver steadier viewing. A chest harness keeps the binocular accessible during hikes and scouting missions.

Ideal Companions for This Binocular

For hunters, a rangefinder pairs naturally after spotting game to confirm distance. Furthermore, a lens cloth and small cleaning kit help you maintain the coated optics. The black finish blends into most outdoor settings and resists glare.
