Call the Shot. Equipped with a rotating, illuminated, MRAD Shot-Call reticle, the Bushnell 15×56 aims to be the go-to binos for long-range shooting competitions, hunting, or just all-day spotting, with a wider field of view and less eye fatigue compared to spotting scopes. Similar to marine binoculars, these offer fully-independent focusing adjustments for left and right eyes as well as the reticle. Once you set your interpupillary distance (IPD), you can rotate the reticle so that it remains level. Complementing this is a BridgeSet stabilizer that prevents your IPD from shifting, removing the task of constant readjustments. The reticle for this pair is located in the right barrel.

Optical Excellence. These binoculars use Abbe-Koenig BAK4 prism glass for high-contrast, sharp imagery and maximum light transmission. However, the high-quality glass means a longer and heavier build. The powerful 15x magnification, coupled with the oversized 56mm objective, means easy observation of very distant objects while a 3.7mm exit pupil produces bright, high-contrast imagery that’s great during dawn and dusk.

Build and Handling. To maintain comfort with all-day use, you have three-position twist-up eyecups, an ample 18.5mm eye relief (great for glasses wearers), superior fog resistance, and an IPX5 water resistance rating. Armored in Bushnell’s signature XO Barrier, the 15×56 Match Pro ED resists oil, dirt, and sap. Dual-accessory connection points at the front and rear of the binoculars provides versatile tripod mounting options.
