I got this for my niece for the holidays. It arrived at my door this morning, and shipping was free. Good gift if you know someone with an interest in astronomy.

It’s a Bushnell 3” that OP sells for $70 (which is already the cheapest price around: http://www.opticsplanet.net/bush-ts-785003.html.

You get $15 taken off the price if you use this coupon code: bute15off. For a new telescope with land eyepiece, tripod, life warranty, etc, it is a pretty good deal IMHO.

According to Optics Planet, this telescope sells for $200 normally, but I did some research and this is an exaggeration. It looks like most retailers are selling it for $70-$100.

Correction! The coupon code is bute15off. My bad. I just tried the other one and got worried because I thought they closed it but no, it was just the wrong code. Phew.

Plastic abounds spend a little more and get a 4.5" Zhumell with HQ optics or an Orion.

Anyone? Would this be a rational gift for an 8 year old grandson? Lives on top of a mountain in Maine. Reasonably smart and inquisitive. TIA!

"Reasonably smart" LOL

Humor aside, I would imagine most any child would find a telescope entertaining. One big caveat; Will there be anyone to teach him a little about astronomy and how to use it? You could test the waters by taking him on a trip to an observatory. For an 8 year old, this model might even be overkill.

Good timing: I've been looking for one but know nothing about telescopes. Is this a decent one?

Thanks S.A.D. for the original post and telescope info but I already bought earlier today. Glad I waited because this deal just got HOTTER:

I followed this Link and scrolled down to the BUNDLES section where I selected the FREE Meade 400x Microscope then added to cart where I applied the $15 off code.

Free Shipping + No Tax + $54.99 for the telescope and microscope = Sweet!
