Bushnell PowerView 2 binoculars deal: Now under $50 at Amazon

If you're looking for a great all-purpose pair of binoculars you can use for stargazing, wildlife watching or taking to a Sports Game but you don't want to break the bank — these binos are worth considering as we gear up for Amazon Prime Day in July.

They come in a range of options, such as 10x25, 10x50, 12x50, 16x32 and 20x50 (all at different price points, of course) — but Amazon is running this limited-time deal on the 10x42 pair of the Bushnell PowerView 2 binoculars. Some of the other models are also discounted, so it's worth checking out the other options if the 10x42 pair isn't exactly what you're looking for.

We think they're ideal for beginners thanks to their powerful magnification and wide objective lenses, and at this low price point, they're a great option if you're thinking of buying your first pair of binos but don't want to spend too much. They do have their drawbacks, though, as they aren't waterproof or fogproof, plus the 15mm eye relief may be a little short if you wear glasses. But for the price, we really can't complain.

Bushnell PowerView 2 10x42 binoculars: was $99.99, now $46.97 at Amazon

Save $53 and grab these handy beginner binoculars for under $50 at Amazon — ideal for all-around general use, whether that's wildlife watching, stargazing or taking in the view from the cheap seats. This deal is only for a limited time, so you'll have to be quick so you don't miss out.

While this is a worthwhile deal, they're normally priced at around the $60/$70 mark rather than the $99.99 Amazon is currently advertising, but still, $46.97 is the cheapest they've been since last summer so it's still worth taking advantage of this limited time deal.

Bushnell is a well-known, trusted brand when it comes to the best binoculars, and if you're looking for the best binoculars for stargazing on a budget, we think they're a great option for anyone new to the hobby.
