Bushnell Sentry Spotting Scope 18-36x50mm

The Bushnell Sentry Spotting Scope 18-36x50mm (Bushnell part no. 783618) builds on Bushnell’s High Definition Optical System, combining ED Prime extra-low-dispersion glass, premium BaK-4 prisms, and fully multi-coated lenses in one compact package. Together those three technologies are meant to deliver flawless color fidelity, ultra-crisp images, and strong light transmission whether you’re glassing at sea level or scanning ridgelines above timberline. The 18-36x zoom range gives a shooter or hunter room to scan a wide area at lower power before dialing in on fine detail, and the fully multi-coated optics help maintain brightness even as magnification climbs. It’s a capable, do-it-all spotting scope for hunters, birders, and range shooters checking targets at distance.
