Great review Colin. I have the same complaint with the stiff focuser, as well as the eyepieces supplied and 3x Barlow. All have been replaced. I must say that even Kellners are way better. I found however that my unit was way out of collimation. Being a newbie to this, with no instructions for this procedure in the manual, I did my research. Used a Catseye centerspot kit for the primary. The first crude, but very useful film container cheshire type of collimator. This enabled me to rough collimate the secondary. I then purchased an Orion crosshair cheshire and had great results. I just now upgraded to the Hotech laser and did a fine tune collimation. Afterwhich I compared it with the Orion, and they were both aligned. I think the collimation was the first thing which should be checked. I recieved my Bushnell as a gift, and have never looked through any telescope before in my life. I learned a lot by having this first scope.
