Unfortunately, this has happened to many people including myself. These spotters are extremely hard to keep in stock even at $458 much less the fake price they keep listing.

yeah I totally figured it was fake hence the sarcasm I my post. But I am going to hold amazon accountable. this seller is just trying to lure people to their storefront with fake ads.
I had this happen with a scope mount and contacted Amazon via email. They apologized and gave me the same deal ....wasn't expecting that but they made it right. My item was def less expensive though. Worth a try.
Does anyone know if there are threads on the objective housing? size, pitch? hard to tell in pictures and the manual says nothing. wondering if an old ARD I have would thread on.

Has anyone used an iPhone adapter on one of these? I'm interested in getting one to take some video from my phone but not sure which one will work.
I would love to know of one of these as well
I bought an ispotter and it should arrive today. Will let you know how it works out.
Got to mess around with the ispotter today. It worked great on this scope. Hitting the 1000yd range this weekend so it will be fun to get some video.
my issue with the ispotter is its not compatible with my phone when its in the case. they have an adapter for the iphone5 with a lifeproof, but not the 6. and furthermore, i run the lifeproof Fre with the battery pack, definately no adapter for that. defeats the purpose of a protective case if i have to take it out when its most likely to be damaged.
Agreed. Let me qualify that I have a few gripes with the ispotter itself but just wanted to confirm that it works with this scope. Agreed on the case issue and furthermore it's a pita to get the phone in and out of the adapter. I will probably work on some solutions to that over time. For now, it gets the job done.
Anyone know of a decent cover for these Spotters?
the Velcro has come off mine already (to be fair I do leave it in the footwell of my truck)
I have the older Bushnell Excursion FLP 15-45x60 and I tried the ARD from my Leupold GR/Mk 4 and the ARD goes on a couple of threads and then locks up so the Leupold ARD won't fit, It goes on by a few turns but it does not go up tight like it does on the GR.
John.
I saw where someone took a Nightforce bikini cover and used it for this spotter. They had the front cover reversed and it fit inside the lense opening. I think they zip tied it to the body of the scope to keep it handy. I think I will order one and give it a shot.
The Lens cap that came with the older model Is very well made and it is a nice snug fit when I put it on the GR,
I weighed the Bushnell Excursion which was Bushnells version of the Mk 4 and it weighs 60 oz where the GR/Mk 4s weigh 37 oz, How heavy is this new bushnell ?
John.
website says 37 oz. I haven't weighed to confirm
Finally going to order one of these bushnell is offering the 25% discount.
Is anyone making a quality cover/glove for it? The black one it comes with is ok but looking for something nice.
Hey guys Im looking to pick one of these up to replace my Konus. A couple questions, the eye relief is listed as 30mm which would put it at just over an inch. Does this seem accurate? I will use this scope is F-class matches and need something with good, long eye relief so that I can see through the spotter while in position on the firing line. Also, how well does the scope pick up mirage? Again need to be able to see mirage for use in f-class. Last question, are there threaded inserts in the rails that will fit a tripod/ scope stand? I heard that there were but it is hard to see from photos. Thanks guys!
I just got one of these today. May be nitpicky but how do yours look near the edges at 15x? The outer 3rd of mine is less than appealing and am contemplating sending it back.
Look what Triad just released: https://www.triadtactical.com/Triad-Bushnell-Tactical-Spotting-Scope-Cover.html
YES! I was hoping Triad would make a cover for it. The 25% rebate and the cover will make this a great set up.
Did anyone order the ranger green color? I'm wanting to see it compared to the Bushnell's tan.
Mine will be here tomorrow. I'll post up my initial thoughts when I get it. I'm sure it's quality.

So I had some time this morning to put mine on. Overall very nice, YUGE improvement over that Chinese made stock one. That thing is now in the garbage where it belongs.
The stitching is solid,the coloration looks good and the zipper on the eye piece end is solid, looks YKK. The objective lens cover is good and fits very tight and secures solid. You can even leave the junk factory lens caps on for extra protection with no interference.
In order to put on, you must remove the pic rails and use the screws provided by Triad as the are a bit longer and also better st they are hex vs factory slotted. My first issue, and it's no big deal as I have no doubt Triad will make it right or tell me exactly what size the new screws are, is 1 of the 6 replacement screws they sent me is longer than the rest. (See picture).
This caused the rail to wiggle as the head did not seat on the whole properly (see picture)
The top rail was finicky to reattach only because the main stitching holding it together is right there. Easy fix is make sure the material on the inside is folded over the side and then it's easy.
overall I am very pleased. It's not the highest quality spotter but it does the job, now it has that tacticool look we all love.
