Overland Park, KS — Each year the field editors at Outdoor Life magazine test dozens of binoculars to better inform and educate their readers. For 2007, the panel selected the Excursion 8x28 binocular from Bushnell Outdoor Products as the “Great Buy” in the compact binocular category.  The top choices were presented in the magazine’s June/July issue.

The Excursion binocular series combines high performance and high value. In their review of the 8x28 the judges said, “it has a surprising number of desirable features, including fully multicoated lenses, phase-corrected BaK-4 roof prisms, 100 percent waterproof/fog proof protection and a wide angle, 417-foot field of view at 1,000 yards. It is indeed a great buy.”
