#1

Post by Ncr »


I recently bought a Bushnell 87 5700 Sky chief 111 looks like all parts are there but having no luck finding a manual online , anywhere .
Have the telescope set up haven't been able to see out of it , still trying to figure it out,
Of course cloudy , rainy days don't help
Anyone out there has any information for a beginner would be helpful
Thanks BTW bought this for 20$ :telescopewink:
