Simmons Optics is a Bushnell brand, and this is the current Pro Hunter model (part number SPH1050).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 10x magnification lets you count antler points and judge a deer before it steps out, and the big 50mm objective lenses pull in light at first and last legal shooting light, when deer move most. The IPX7 waterproof, fog-proof body handles rain and cold mornings, and the textured rubber armor holds a sure grip with wet or gloved hands. The 23mm eye relief and twist-up eyecups work for eyeglass wearers too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHunters also use the 10x50 for scouting, watching wildlife on the property, birding and casual stargazing. At just under 30 ounces it is best when you can sit and brace your elbows. For long glassing sessions it can mount on a tripod with a binocular tripod adapter (sold separately).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich Pro Hunter Should I Get?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e10x50 (this model):\u003c\/strong\u003e most reach and light gathering for fields, food plots and low light; heaviest of the line.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e8x42:\u003c\/strong\u003e widest view (340 ft at 1,000 yds) and steadier hold for thick woods and close shots.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e10x42:\u003c\/strong\u003e same 10x reach in a lighter, shorter body (24.5 oz, 300 ft view).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e12x50:\u003c\/strong\u003e more magnification for open country (270 ft view); harder to hold steady without a rest.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot sure which fits your hunting?
