<span style="font-weight: bold"> Bushnell 10x42 Fusion 1600 ARC Binocular/Laser Rangefinder Part# 201042 </span>

Just figured I'd do a quick post as these are now in stock.

(Bushnell's Info)
This device combines quality optics with the latest in laser range finding technology into one easy to carry package.

The 10×42 binoculars feature BAK-4 roof prisms, built-in battery life indicator, twist-up eye pieces, and fully multi-coated optics with RainGuard® HD coating, fully waterproof and submersible to meet IPX7 waterproof specification.

The built in laser rangefinder will measure distances from 10-1600 yards. It features ARC (Angle Range Compensating) technology, which calculates the angle to the target and gives the “hold over” range for the rifle shooter, and true horizontal distance for bow hunters. There is a brush mode for measuring distances in heavy cover and a bullseye mode for ranging in open areas.

An additional key feature in the Fusion 1600 ARC is the Variable Sight-In Distance capability or VSI™. In rifle mode, users can select between 100,150, 200 or 300 yard sight-in distances to accommodate their shooting styles and preferences. They can also choose between Inches and MOA for holdover on longer shots. The range of angle measurement is -90 to +90 degrees.

The display employs state-of-the-art Vivid Display Technology™ for improved light transmission and resolution, high contrast, four user adjustable intensity settings resulting in legible distance readings in low light conditions.

Nice! Though $899.99 isn't cheap! And Bushnell is less praised for binoculars than for rangefinders. In the end I'll probably get a (much cheaper) Bushnell rangefinder and separate binocs by Steiner or Fujinon.

If the price was in the $500 range, that would be a killer kit, but $899 is a bit steep IMHO. I love my Elite 1500 ARC, and Im guessing the RF in that unit is even better than on the 1500. Im sure the price will come down in the next 6 months, I might pick on up when it does.

Well, I for one don't insist on a range-finding bino, especially a laser-based range-finding one. Would be quite happy with two different tools, each doing its job well - a bino (with built-in compass) and a laser rangefinder. Also, I don't think I really want a 10x bino in the field - military chose 7x for a reason.
