    I don't know about the Legend or Excursion, but I just bought a pair of Bushnell Trophy 10x42's from Wholsale Sports in Kamloops. So far so good. Very happy with them.

    I have the legend bino's and an elite spotter.

    The bino's have been hanging around my neck for 3 years now. I'm very happy w/ them.

    The spotter's only been here for a year. So far, so good.


    These aren't top of the line optics but should suffice most hunters needs, most of the time. A good 'bang for your buck' IMO.

    Excursions are decent binoculars, and sell for $225. I would go with the Elite spotter over the Legend

    Optics is all about the dollars.You get what you pay for.The power of 60x is too much for the amount you are spending on a spotting scope.I would look at other options in the 20-40x class,or increase spending.
