Bushmaster 10-30 X 50 Zoom Binoculars

Posted by Mick under: Equipment .

I’ve been on the lookout for a while for a good pair of binoculars that weren’t going to cost me an absolute fortune…I’ve been looking for a while.

It was absolute luck that Anaconda currently have a sale on, and it includes some extra bonuses for Anaconda Club members…like 8-24×50 Zoom binoculars (made by a company called “Tactical”) which normally sell for around $160 on sale for $79 :)

So i popped into their Bayswater store on Monday morning and couldn’t find them anywhere. It turned out they didn’t have them in stock but they told me that they had a replacement item…hmmm…

So there i was, expecting to be passed a pair of inferior binoculars for the same price when the Anaconda salesperson handed me a pair of Bushmaster 10-30 X 50 Zoom Binoculars. The shelf price on the Bushmasters was $199 and she told me that i could have them for the sale price of $79.

It gets even better when i tell you that in the mail last week i received the latest Anaconda sale catalogue and it included a voucher (for club members) for $20 off a sale if the sale was over $80. I threw in a small Tactical “mini led” torch, which was on sale as well and marked down from $27 to $15.

So the total purchase, which would have cost me $226 if i wasn’t a club member, only cost me a grand total of $74…a true bargain :)

Bushmaster 10-30 X 50 Zoom Binoculars

Grey rubber armoured, multi coated ruby lens.

Bushmaster 10-30x 50 binoculars employ Multi-Coated Optics helping to increase the amount of useful light coming into the binoculars, thus providing an image that is brighter, sharper and clearer.

Having every single surface of lenses and prisms coated with light-enhancing chemicals, Bushmaster binoculars promise a light transmission efficiency of up to 95%.

In addition, most Bushmaster optics are treated with a layer of Ruby Coating on top of the normal coatings. It protects user’s eye from UV emission and further increases the light transmission. It offers brilliant, crisp daylight viewing and is especially suited for use over water, snow an in other bright conditions.

I’ll get to try them out later this week while I’m up on top of a mountain in the Great Dividing Range ;)
