Spotters Bushnell Match Pro 15x56 binos with reticle.

I have a pair out for delivery today and used the RRS cinch for my other binos but not sure it will work as well with the 52 ounce Match Pro binos. How are you all mounting them or are you resting them on a bag?
I also tried the rrs cinch mount and didn't think it was a good fit. Went with the tall outdoorsman bino mount with gray ops 4way arca adapter. Not the cheapest route but it is awesome.

What attachment is it you use?

No idea. Some cheap one I had laying around and popped on.

I bought the Bushnell quick release mount and just attached it to a decent camera tripod I bought of facebook marketplace. It worked pretty good but with a little bit of wind (10-12 mph) they did move around some but that might have just been the tripod, it’s very lightweight. It didn’t really affect the ability to spot but winds were relatively light also.

I visited the Wiebad factory last Thursday and bought their bino bag but haven’t tried it yet.

I mounted them with the RRS cinch and they seem to be just fine, honestly impressed with the quality and reticle detail once I got them adjusted correctly but damn they're a large set of binos!

This is a longshot I know, but I have a pair of the now discontinued Forge 15x56 binoculars. Can parts from the Match Pro be moved over to the Forge, to put a reticle in the Forge?
 
Been following this thread. For those that have used them for a while, what say you? Worth getting? I need/want a pair of binos in the 15x range for spotting and I’d like it to have a mil reticle.
 
Good to know, thanks. Do you have them clipped into a tripod, if so what are you using? TIA
I put mine on tripod. I tried the bushnell tripod adapter which is fine but instead went with the

Really Right Stuff Cinch-LR Polymer Molded​


these don't fit perfect since these are large binoculars but it fits well enough and better than having the long Bushnell tripod adapter sticking out as you can keep this on and use them like normal and fit them in case etc.
 
I have used mine now in about 6 matches mostly rimfire but have used twice at Centerfire events and I like them.
Only a couple guys have looked thru mine but last weekend the friend that jumped behind them to spot commented how good they were.
There is always several pairs of SLC’s to compare them too and if I get the opportunity I jump behind them and honestly not much difference except at edges the Bushnell aren’t as razor clear.
Also will add I had the 15x SLC’s but they won’t work for my narrow eyes.
I actually use the reticle way more than I thought I would.
 
I am looking for a pair of these anybody know of any cyber Monday deals? Been wishing for a pair with a reticle and I have two other pairs of 15x and 18x binos to spot with I know I want a reticle In them so I’m going to sell those for these.
 
Has everyone still been happy with these? I’m looking at picking up a set of bino’s with a reticle. Seems like a couple more companies are coming out with them now

Yup still happy. Just used them today at a match and worked as I needed. There are other choices out now so take a look at all and see what works for you.

I know that Athlon came out with a 12x50 version in their Midas line with a reticle but I haven't had a chance to get my hands on a pair to look through as of yet. With regards to the Bushnell Match Pro 15x56 bino's though... I'm still pretty happy with mine, especially at the price point. It isn't by any stretch in 'alpha glass' territory but it's still pretty danged good for the price and looking at it through that lens (pun intended ) I'd still recommend them for anyone in the market.

Just as a tip- you might find yourself coming up short researching that particular pair of bino's for reviews on the glass itself if that's what you're after. Just switch your query to 'Bushnell forge 15x56' (as far as I know it's the exact same glass quality) and you'll likely find far more hits on glass comparisons that'll serve you better to get a better understanding of what you're purchasing.

With that said- still very happy with mine- was able to observe 22LR impacts on steel (I'd estimate 6-8" plate) at just shy of 300 yards without problem from a tripod.

Hope that helps you!

I bought a pair of the midas and really like them. After looking through a pair of bushnells the reticle seemed to have too much going on for me.

I’m really liking my Midas so far
