Field of view is 78 m at 1,000 m (235 ft at 1,000 yd), with a 3.5 mm exit pupil and 19 mm of eye relief. The open-bridge magnesium alloy chassis is 219 mm (8.6 in) long, IPX7 waterproof and nitrogen purged against internal fogging, with a locking dioptre, interchangeable twist, detented eyecups, close focus at 13 ft and tripod compatibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow It Compares\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe R7 15x56 is the top of the R7 range and the only one of the five that changes prism type: Abbe-Koenig prisms with total internal reflection, which lose less light than the Schmidt-Pechan prisms used in the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/bushnell-r7-12x50-binoculars-r7-1250\"\u003eR7 12x50\u003c\/a\u003e and below. That, plus 56 mm objectives and ED Prime Glass, is what buys the reach. It is also 1,510 g and 219 mm long, so it is a tripod binocular rather than a neck binocular — Bushnell designed it for hunters who measure their days in hours behind the glass.

At 15x and 1,510 g this is designed for tripod-mounted glassing; it is tripod compatible, and the detail the glass resolves is only usable once the image stops moving.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhy Abbe-Koenig prisms instead of Schmidt-Pechan?\u003c\/b\u003eAbbe-Koenig prisms use total internal reflection, so they minimise light loss rather than relying on a reflective coating. It is the reason the 15x56 keeps a usable image at a 3.5 mm exit pupil, and it is why this model sits apart from the rest of the R7 range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow does it differ from the Match Pro ED 15x56?\u003c\/b\u003eBoth use 56 mm objectives, Abbe-Koenig prisms and ED Prime glass. The Match Pro ED adds the rotating Shot-Call MRAD reticle, dual adjustable dioptres and the BridgeSet stabiliser for shot-calling on the range; the R7 15x56 is the hunting version, with an IPX7 rating rather than IPX5.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIs the field of view narrow?\u003c\/b\u003e235 ft at 1,000 yards, which is normal for 15x and about half what the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/bushnell-r7-8x42-binoculars-r7-842\"\u003eR7 8x42\u003c\/a\u003e shows.
