Engineered with over-sized objectives and a large exit pupil to optimize its low-light performance, Bushnell's  green 8x56 Trophy Xtreme Binoculars sport a fully multi-coated lens system and phase-corrected BAK4 prisms to produce bright and clear high-contrast images from predawn to post-dusk. This 8x optic has the ability to focus at 10 feet, making this version of the Trophy series ready for almost any intermediate to long-range glassing task. The magnification is kept relatively low to give users exceptionally large 7mm exit pupils to accommodate user's pupils when they dilate as it gets dark, so the view through the binoculars is easy to see without vignetting.

The optical tubes are nitrogen-filled and O-ring sealed to be waterproof and fogproof, especially in extreme weather conditions. To reduce user-fatigue and keep them steady, a tripod adapter mount is located in the front of the hinge for setting them up on a support system. A right-eye diopter adjustment allows the binoculars to be customized to most people's needs, and twist-up eyecups provide comfortable use with or without eyewear.
