Those are a little better than your basic bicocs and bushnell is a good brand he’ll like them that’s for sure. As for how far he’ll be able to see in them not really sure, at full magnification he should be able to see a good ways away. The bigger the number the further you’ll be able to see, like if they say 10×50mm which is what I believe they are you’ll see a ways away and see clear.

Bushnell are pretty average. Taesco is about the same in terms of quality. In my opinion, telescope manufactuerers, like Celestron, make better optics for their binoculars than other manufacturers.
The 65x magnification – are you sure about that? Most garden variety binoculars are 7x or 8x. I’ve seen as high as 50x, but I’ve not seen 65x (though I haven’t been looking for a pair of Binoculars). Magification is really the measure of how far you can see. Typically you’ll see something like 7×35 or 8×21, etc. The 8/7 is the magnification, the 21/35 the objective lens diameter (in mm) which is really a measure of how much light the lens lets in (more important when viewing in low lighting conditions).
The quality of the optics is far more important. You can zoom the heck out of a fuzzy image and it’s still a fuzzy image. Unfortunately, there isn’t a good measure to quantify optic quality (that I’m aware of).

I hope that magnification number is not right. At 65x power the bino is useless for handheld operation, he’ll need to carry around a tripod to look through that thing.
Now, the most important info is missing here. Bushnell makes some really nice models and some really crappy ones. So it all depends on which model it is.
Now here’s a question what is he trying to do with the bino, for bird watching for example that bino is useless, because the field of view is extremely narrow. For just looking far though, the 65x power on this thing will allow him to see far far away. Just make sure that is correct, I don’t know of any bushnell model with a 65x power.
