The Bushnell Forge 8x42 is designed for those who demand the highest optical and mechanical tolerances in the field. Built with ED Prime glass (Extra-low Dispersion), these binoculars virtually eliminate chromatic aberration and colour fringing, ensuring every detail is rendered with lifelike precision. The optical path is further enhanced by PC3 phase-coated prisms and dielectric coatings, which achieve over 92% light transmission for exceptional performance in deep woods or during the critical low-light periods of dawn and dusk.
Durability is guaranteed by Bushnell’s proprietary EXO Barrier technology, a molecularly bonded coating that repels water, oil, dust, and debris, keeping your view clear in the worst weather conditions. Combined with Ultra-Wideband anti-reflective coatings on every lens surface, the Forge 8x42 delivers maximum brightness and true-to-life colour across the entire visible spectrum. Compact, lightweight, and nitrogen-purged for absolute fog-proof reliability, these binoculars are the definitive tool for the serious observer.
ED Prime Glass: Premium fluorite-enriched glass that delivers incredible colour, resolution, and contrast, even in high-glare or low-light situations.
Dielectric Prism Coating: Applied to the roof prisms to provide maximum reflectivity across the full visible spectrum, ensuring vivid colour reproduction.
Ultra-Wideband Coatings: A specialised anti-reflective coating process tailored to each lens element to allow the maximum amount of light to reach the eyepiece.
PC3 Phase Coating: Enhances resolution and contrast by ensuring the light waves remain in phase after passing through the prism system.
EXO Barrier Protection: Bushnell’s best protective lens coating, bonding to the glass to provide a permanent, slick shield against rain, snow, and fingerprints.
Compact & Lightweight Design: Engineered for comfortable, all-day use and effortless carry without sacrificing structural integrity.
Superior Mechanical Precision: Features a smooth focus wheel and locking dioptre for precise, tactile adjustments in the field.
Fully Weatherproof: O-ring sealed and nitrogen-purged to remain completely waterproof and fog-proof, regardless of rapid temperature changes.
