R3 8x42 Binoculars

Wide, steady and easy to live with. The Bushnell R3 8x42 is the versatile all-round option for bush, hunting, birding, travel and everyday outdoor observation.

8x42Wide, stable handheld viewing
325 ftField of view at 1000 yards
21 mmComfortable eye relief

Essential clarity with a wider view

The 8x42 configuration is the easy-choice R3 for people who want a steadier image, a wider field of view and comfortable all-day handling. It is ideal for tracking movement through bush, scanning edges, following birds and staying aware of more of the scene.

8x

Steadier handheld view

8x magnification is easier to hold steady than higher magnifications, making it excellent for walking, stalking and general observation.

42

Bright 42 mm lenses

42 mm objectives give a useful balance of brightness, portability and field performance for changing outdoor light.

EXO

EXO Barrier protection

Repels water, debris and smudges so the lenses stay clearer when weather, fingerprints or dusty tracks get in the way.

IPX7

Weather-ready body

IPX7 waterproofing, fogproof argon purging and shockproof construction help the R3 keep up with real outdoor use.

Why 8x42?

More awareness, less shake

The R3 8x42 is a great choice when you want to see more of the landscape at once. The wider view helps you pick up movement faster, while the lower magnification is more forgiving when glassing handheld.

For bush, scrub, farmland, birding and mixed-distance viewing, 8x42 is often the most comfortable and practical configuration.

See the R3 experience

These video sections are built to stack full-width on mobile, so the viewing experience stays clean instead of being squeezed into narrow columns.

Fast to raise, easy to use

Simple handling and a comfortable form factor make the R3 easy to reach for when the view changes quickly.

Ready for wet conditions

IPX7 waterproofing, fogproof construction and EXO Barrier protection help keep your view usable in demanding weather.

Weather protected

Clearer glass when conditions change

Outdoor viewing rarely happens in perfect conditions. EXO Barrier protection helps shed water, oil, dust and debris, while the sealed waterproof body helps protect the binoculars from rain, splashes and rough weather.

Fogproof argon purging adds confidence when moving between warm vehicles, cool mornings and damp outdoor conditions.

The easier everyday choice

Choose 8x42 when you value a wider view, steadier handheld performance and easier tracking. It is especially strong for closer-to-mid distance observation, dense terrain, birding and mixed outdoor use.

Choose 10x42 when your priority is extra distance detail in open country. For most casual outdoor users and hunters moving through varied terrain, the R3 8x42 is the more relaxed, versatile option.
