From the Manufacturer
Magnifying life does, indeed, include sea life. And these are just the binoculars to do it. Our legendary 7x50mm Marine binoculars are a premier choice for spotting marinas, deadheads, or the fisherman's best friend, feeding birds. Built to withstand the conditions that come along with the nautical world, they are not only nitrogen-purged to provide reliable waterproof/fogproof performance - the 13-7500 models are even hermetically sealed to further assure no moisture creeps in. Impressive light transmission from BaK-4 porro prisms, multi-coated optics and large UV-coated objective lenses brighten images from dusk-to-dawn. And, all models not only float, but easy-grip rubber armoring protects and provides a secure hold should things get rough. Always nice, should an unexpected swell or throttle burst take you by surprise.

The internal compass illuminates without obstructing the field of view allowing you to establish headings as you continue to scan the horizon for markers and hazards.

Specifications for this Bushnell binocular include:

• Magnification: 7x
• Objective lens: 50mm
• Field of view at 1,000 yards: 350 feet

Tech Talk
Objective Lens: The diameter of the objective or front lens. The larger the objective lens, the more light that enters the binocular, and the brighter the image.

Field of View (F.O.V.): The side-to-side measurement of the circular viewing field or subject area. It is defined by the width in feet or meters of the area visible at 1000 yards or meters. A wide angle binocular features a wide field of view and is better for following action. Generally, the higher the magnification, the narrower the field of view.

Porro Prism System: In porro prism binoculars the objective or front lens is offset from the eyepiece. Porro prism binoculars provide greater depth perception and generally offer a wider field of view.

Customer Reviews

A must have for going out on the open water
I bought these for triangulating my position on charts while sailing. I was a little worried that the internal compass would be hard to read as my 40+ year old eyes need reading glasses to read newspapers, computer screens etcetera. I have had no problem whatsoever. The compass is large and easy to read. The compass has an internal light which is a great added feature. I did an overnight sail in March and would have had a very difficult time guessing where I was without this feature. I never use the reticle for judging distance. I suppose I could get the instructions out to do the math but it hardly seems worth it because the compass allows me to locate my position very easily.

Bushnell Marine 7 x 50 Binocular
I don't know how it could be better. One of our sailing sons said it was the best he's used. I wish I could say something technical and impressive but can only be anecdotal. My Commander, USNR, Rtd. husband was delighted with this birthday present. The price was pretty good, too.

Great boat binocular
Just the right choice for boat use. Gathers light for a clear view better than some more expensive binoculars. The rubber armor is good for grip and protection. The waterproof qualities are perfect for encounters with salt water spray. Perfect for spotting birds over shrimp or schools of small bait fish. The optic view won't make you dizzy when using as the boat moves. Like the compass and lock that is built in.
