The Bushnell PowerView 2 8×42 Binoculars (Bushnell part no. BS PWV842) in black pair the popular 8×42 all-around configuration with an all-metal chassis built to shrug off extreme temperatures rather than cracking in deep cold or warping in summer heat. Bushnell’s multi-coated optics bring in a bright, clear image, and the compact roof prism design keeps the body slim and easy to carry compared to a bulkier porro prism glass. A confident, easy-to-hold grip texture makes the binocular simple to use one-handed if needed, and the whole package is priced to be an accessible entry point into quality glass. It’s a dependable all-around binocular for hunting, hiking, and everyday outdoor use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is 8×42 a good all-around choice? Yes, 8×42 is one of the most popular general-purpose configurations, balancing a wide enough field of view for moving game with strong low-light brightness from the 42mm objective.

Is this binocular waterproof? Bushnell does not list this model as waterproof-rated; treat it as a fair-weather binocular rather than a fully sealed field optic.

What makes the chassis different from a plastic-bodied binocular? The all-metal chassis is built to resist cracking in extreme cold and warping in extreme heat, holding its shape better than an all-polymer body over years of outdoor use.
