Bushnell Legend 10x50

• 10x50 configuration: The combination of 10x magnification and a 50 mm objective gives this binocular the reach for distant wildlife and landscape detail while maintaining the light-gathering ability that helps at dawn, dusk, and in shaded woodland.
• Roof prism design: The Schmidt/Pechan roof prism layout keeps the Bushnell Legend 10x50 slimmer and easier to carry than a bulkier porro design, making it practical for long walks, hunting trips, and general field use.
• Fully multi-coated optics: Bushnell uses fully multi-coated lenses to improve light transmission and contrast, which helps produce a clearer image with better definition when scanning mixed terrain or picking detail out of low-contrast backgrounds.
• Waterproof and fogproof build: A waterproof, fogproof construction keeps the binocular usable through rain, cold mornings, and rapid temperature changes, so it remains dependable for hunting, birding, and travel in variable weather.
• Tripod adaptable body: The binocular can be mounted on a tripod, a useful advantage for long observation sessions where a steady image reduces fatigue and makes it easier to study distant subjects in more detail.

About the Bushnell Legend Series

The Bushnell Legend series sits in the brand’s mid-to-upper field optics range and is built for users who want a practical balance of portability, weather resistance, and dependable image quality for hunting, bird watching, and general outdoor observation. Bushnell documents the family in Legend E, L, and M variants, each based around a roof-prism format intended for active field use rather than occasional casual viewing.

Across the series, Bushnell describes shared features such as Rainguard HD lens coating, waterproof and fogproof construction, BaK-4 prisms, PC3 phase coating, and fully multi-coated optics. In practice, that combination is aimed at preserving contrast, maintaining a bright image, and helping the binocular stay usable in wet or humid conditions. Bushnell also describes the Legend line as using a magnesium chassis in these documented variants, with model-specific differences such as ED Prime glass and a lockable diopter on Legend L models, or an open-bridge body and dielectric prism coatings on Legend M versions. The result is a binocular family designed around clear viewing, field durability, and straightforward handling in changing outdoor conditions.

About the Bushnell Legend 10x50

The Bushnell Legend 10x50 is configured for users who need more low-light capability than a compact daytime binocular can usually provide. Its 10x magnification is a versatile level for hunting optics and long-range observation, offering enough reach to identify distant game, birds, or terrain features without becoming overly specialized. Paired with a 50 mm objective lens and a 5.00 mm exit pupil, it is well suited to early-morning and late-evening glassing, when image brightness and viewing comfort matter more than absolute compactness.

The optical layout uses Schmidt/Pechan roof prisms, which help keep the binocular streamlined for transport and field carry. A 91.00 m/1000m field of view gives a useful balance between magnified detail and area coverage, so the binocular remains practical for scanning woodland edges, open fields, or ridgelines. The 16.50 mm eye relief is also helpful for extended viewing and can be more accommodating for eyeglass wearers than short-eye-relief designs.

Mechanically, this model is built for outdoor use rather than sheltered observation. Its metal housing adds structural confidence, while the waterproof and fogproof construction supports reliable use in rain, cold air, and changing temperatures. At 789.00 g, it has enough mass to feel steady in the hands, and the tripod-adaptable design is an advantage when prolonged glassing sessions call for a more stable image and reduced arm fatigue.

About Bushnell

Bushnell was founded in 1948 by Dave Bushnell. The company grew from Dave Bushnell’s early work selling optical products from a photographic shop in Pasadena, California, and it developed into a well-known name in sports optics and outdoor equipment. Bushnell focuses on products for hunting, target shooting, birding, and nature observation, with a catalog that includes binoculars, riflescopes, red dot sights, rangefinders, spotting scopes, and trail cameras.

Within the optics market, Bushnell is known for building broad product families that cover both general outdoor use and more specialized applications. Its lines include Legend, Prime, Elite Tactical, and AR Optics. In binoculars and related field optics, Bushnell has also used proprietary features such as EXO Barrier, a lens coating designed to repel water, oil, dust, and debris. ATK acquired Bushnell Group Holdings on November 1, 2013, marking an important point in the company’s later corporate history.
