USING the #780050 SLR CAMERA ADAPTER
for 80mm SPOTTING SCOPES
User guide. Read online or download PDF. Bushnell 780050 User Manual. Bushnell Photo Accessories. Manuals Directory ManualsDir.com - online owner manuals library. Bushnell manuals. Even with an expensive SLR camera and the high quality of your Elite scope, getting good. Results like you see in magazines.
1. With the scope mounted securely on a sturdy tripod, rotate the bayonet mount eyepiece
counter-clockwise until white index dot is about at the position shown in Photo #1.
2. The eyepiece can be easily pulled straight out when it has been rotated to the correct
position for removal. Note the outer threaded area that will be used to attach the 780050
camera adapter (in place of the eyepiece-the adapter has its own internal optics).
3. You will need a “T-Mount” ring, available from most larger retail or internet photographic
or optics dealers. Consult with your dealer to make sure you purchase the correct
T-Mount for your SLR camera brand and model. You will need to specify if you have a film
or digital camera, and also (for some brands) if it has manual or auto-focus. The T-Mount
has standardized screw threads on one side (for attaching to the 780050 camera adapter)
and the bayonet lugs that fit your type of SLR camera body on the other end.
4. Remove the dust caps from both ends of the 780050 camera adapter, then screw your
T-Mount ring onto it (the smaller, straight end of the adapter as shown), making sure to
keep them parallel so you don’t cross-thread them or strip the threads.
5. Attach the connected 780050 adapter and T-Mount ring by carefully screwing the larger,
flared end of the adapter onto the outer threaded part of the scope’s eyepiece mounting
opening.
6. Remove the lens from your SLR camera (check its manual if you have not done this before),
and set it aside in a safe, dust-free place, attaching front and rear protective caps to the
lens if you have them. Attach the camera body onto the T-Mount by lining up the index
mark on the T-Mount with the one on your camera (typically a red or white dot), then
carefully rotating the camera body until it clicks into place on the T-Mount (the direction
of rotation will vary with camera brand/model). An alternative method is to loosen the
large screw on the outside of the adapter near the T-Mount (see arrow, photo #4), allowing
you to hold the camera body still and rotate the back half of the adapter along with the
T-Mount until they click into place on the camera. This screw on the camera adapter
is also provided so you can easily rotate the mounted camera relative to the spotting
scope, so it is in position ready to use or access camera controls while the camera remains
securely mounted.

7. To take photos, use the self-timer feature or a remote shutter release for your camera
to avoid vibration. Focus using the focus knob on the scope as you look through the
camera’s viewfinder (or display on some digital models). Some cameras may allow you to
use auto exposure (“aperture priority” mode), but most will require switching to manual
mode and experimenting with shutter speed and/or ISO settings to get the correct
exposure, as there is no connection between the camera’s electronics and the scope,
which gives you the equivalent of a 1000mm (35mm film or sensor) or 1500mm (APS-C
size digital sensors) telephoto “lens” with a fixed f/13.3 effective aperture. An internet
search for the “Sunny 16 Rule” will give you a good starting point-with the camera set to
ISO 200, typical shutter speeds will likely be between 1/200 and 1/400 sec. on a bright
day. If you get dark results, use a slower shutter speed or higher ISO setting (and vice
versa if photos are too light).
8. When you finish using the camera adapter, simply reverse the assembly process: remove
the SLR body from the T-Mount and replace the lens you normally use on it, unscrew the
camera adapter from the scope (you may keep the adapter and T-Mount connected if you
like for faster assembly next time), and finally bayonet the eyepiece back on to the scope,
starting with it lined up as shown in photo #1, then rotating it clockwise until the white
index dot is centered at the top again.
9. Even with an expensive SLR camera and the high quality of your Elite scope, getting good
results like you see in magazines or websites can take a lot of patience, experience and
practice. An internet search for “digiscoping” will yield a variety of useful tips and ideas
from other nature and photography enthusiasts.

Bushnell Elite 3200 10x40mm Mil-Dot Riflescope
By Pete Dixon
The Bushnell Elite 3200 fixed power 10x40 mil dot riflescope carries a number of distinctions in the Bushnell Elite line of riflescopes. It is one of, if not the, cheapest of the Bushnell Elites. It is one of only two to come with large knurled target type adjustment turrets and it is the only fixed power Bushnell Elite riflescope. It is also in a minority of Bushnell Elites that feature a standard mil dot reticle.
Bushnell sensibly markets it as a target scope although some Internet sales outlets have taken to sensationalizing it by calling it a sniper scope--just what we need in the current anti-gun atmosphere! I find no reference to that on the Bushnell web page or in any of the material that came with the scope.
I was interested in it not due to any resemblance (incidental or intended) to actual sniper scopes, but because of its' sturdy appearance and the simplicity of a fixed power scope and a magnification level that would lend itself to general long range shooting. Also, I have lost a couple turret caps as I adjust my scopes frequently while developing loads, and I was happy to eliminate that possibility on at least one scope.
The general features and specifications of the Bushnell Elite 3200 10x40mm riflescope are advertised as follows:

It is an impressive scope to hold. It feels unusually heavy duty. The hard black matte finish accents the extra sturdy hammer-forged one-piece aluminum tube. The ocular is focused with a European style fast focus ring that is rubber covered. The target turrets in no way detract from the solid feel. They are well marked, well affixed and coated with a hard rubbery polymer. There is no play whatsoever in their action and they turn with smooth positive yet quiet clicks. You can easily adjust them with your ear protection on. As long as you can count you do not need to hear the clicks. I would not expect them to be accidentally turned in the field under any normal circumstance except perhaps when carried in a saddle scabbard. Bushnell advertises that elite rifle scopes are tested for recoil with a thousand shots from a .375 H&H rifle and this particular scope gives the impression of being up to it.
The packaging and manuals that Bushnell provided were fine except on one point. The instruction manual did not address the use of a mil dot reticle with a fixed 10 power scope. The section on mil dot reticles seems to have been lifted straight out of the manual for a variable power scope.
The use of a mil dot reticle can be somewhat technical. Mil dots are based on radian measurements of arc. The distance between dots can be translated as 3.6 inches at 100 yards or roughly 3.6 minutes of angle (MOA), which is the far more familiar unit of measure for most shooters. Mil dots can be used for windage, elevation, bullet drop and range finding functions, but with a variable power scope this can only be accomplished properly at a particular set magnification. So, the manual contained some potentially confusing and inappropriate information.
Now the bad news. I mounted my new Bushnell Elite on a Savage Model 12 .308 rifle without difficulty. However, on my first trip out with the scope I immediately discovered that there was an excessive amount of parallax at 100 yards, the distance at which this scope is advertised as being parallax free. With my Savage setting securely on my Caldwell shooting rest and gazing at my favorite Redfield Precision Sight-In target, I discovered that I could easily see as much as three inches of sight movement with but a little movement of my eye.
I took a few shots to sight-in the rifle/scope combination and then settled in to shoot a few groups, which confirmed my worst fears. The results were atrocious given the excellent accuracy record of this rifle.
Back in the box and off to Kansas went my new scope. My arrangements with the Bushnell Service Department were straight forward and the repair took only 2 weeks longer than they said it would, twelve rather than ten weeks. Then there is the matter of the $10.00 return shipping bill, which I found offensive under the circumstances. (So much for the Bushnell 'no questions asked' 1-year U.S. replacement warrantee. -Ed.)
Anyway, back to the range. This time I got what I was looking for. The optics are good, very bright and clear all the way to the edge. There is a normal amount of eye relief and sufficient exit pupil with sharp edges. The contrast is somewhat lacking but overall the optics are noticeably better than many scopes with higher price tags.

Vtech dect 6.0 answering machine user manual. One hundred inches is a generous range of adjustment at 100 yards and in this case I needed a good bit of that. The focus adjuster is too stiff and the reticle cross wires are a little fat for my liking. Sometimes the cross wires reflect a copper color depending on the light, but the scope is good enough to let my Savage shoot its normal little clover leaf groups.
I walked the groups around a 2' square twice with results that were as good as my shooting. I have kept the scope on my Savage Model 12 and nearly a thousand shots later it has not surprised or disappointed me.
Overall it is a well mannered and solid scope. Its features make it good for a number of general purposes but also disqualify it for others. Its fairly thick cross hairs make it a questionable choice for shooting ultra-long range varmints or targets. At the same time the magnification is too high for short to medium range woods hunting. But, for medium-long range targets and center-fire plinking, or long range big game hunting in open country, such as bean field deer, it would be a good choice and a really good value considering the low price.
