Bushnell R7 ED 10x42 Binocular Ranger Green

Bushnell's R7 ED runs 10x magnification over 42mm objectives, which is the configuration most hunters and glassers land on when they want reach without hauling a spotter and tripod. Ten power pulls detail out of a far hillside, and 42mm front glass keeps enough light coming through to still be useful in the first and last hour of the day.

The ED in the name refers to extra low dispersion glass, the approach used to cut the color fringing that shows up along high contrast edges once you get past a few power. The housing wears Ranger Green rather than the usual black, which is a small thing until you set the binocular down in the grass. At 10x42 this is a full size binocular that carries well on a harness and holds steady with elbows braced on a pack.
