Took it for hunting so far once last week. Optics is clear, as you would expect from Bushnell. Rangefinder also accurate.
In open areas where you look across the canyon 200-300m++ it is perfect. Field of view like on any other 10x42.
For close range 100-200m I would prefer something smaller with wider field of view, like 7x or 8x.
Overall good impression. Would buy again.
Pros:
- Easy of use. Simple. Button is good size.
Would recommend: Yes

Focus knob got really loose and then frozen up. Bushnell refuses to warranty, claiming impact damage, when there is no visible damage to the binoculars. I know I’ve never dropped them. It’s a shame to spend this kind of money on a product with a “lifetime iron clad warranty” that turns out to be complete BS. I’ve had a few other optics with lifetime warranties fail over the years, the companies have always stood behind their products. I’ll never purchase another Bushnell product and I hope you don’t make the same mistake I did.
Would recommend: No

I tested against Nikon, Leica, Vortex, Zeiss, and some others. These optics for my eye were just as good as the very expensive and better than ones in the same 1k price range.
I have ranged up to 1920 yards out of my window at our ranch house. Across a valley to a building. I was amazed. The only draw back is the BDC should be open architecture for hand loads. In other words not a canned menu. I should be able to put in BC speed and grain of projectile and get a trajectory and hold over.
I use a dial scope so I use a dope card on my stock but open architecture would be nice. But for the money I would buy these again.
Pros:
- clear glass, long ranging
Cons:
- BDC not as open as I would like
Best Used for:
- hunting and ranging anything you want out to 1900 yards.
Would recommend: Yes

Simple to use product. Seems to be very accurate when compared to my Vortex laser rangefinder. I have been able to range objects out to 1600 yards with no issues.
I would recommend this product to anyone wanting to combine a rangefinder and binoculars into one item.
Would recommend: Yes

I've had my 10 x 42 ARC 1 Mile rangefinder binoculars for three years and found them to be excellent for hunting. They have very good glass and excellent readability of the data display.
My ARC 1 Mile binoculars are used for hunting and occasional bird watching. For hunting I have them set to read out in yards and mils because my scopes have mil reticles. The ballistic holdover readings based on Bushnell's ballistic tables are very close to my actual holds so I can rapidly get on target with confidence.
Having very good binoculars combined with excellent laser range finding and ballistic hold displays is great for reducing my load in backpack hunting, especially at altitudes above 8,000 ft. where thin air demands a lighter load.
Would recommend: Yes

Purchased these for a long range precision rifle class. We all had to range small objects at long ranges. These performed flawlessly. I was only able to range out to about 1400 yards but this was all I needed for the class. These performed as well as the very expensive units other folks had with the exception of range beyond 1400 yards.Excellent product.
Would recommend: Yes

Ordered these as they were on great offer, supplied in sturdy box and also Bushnell carry bag, set up was very easy and the work great!
Very accurate rangefinder that picks up most targets just scanning around my local countryside, but as per the instructions, it really helps if the target is a good contrast to the background.
Particularly like the bullet drop feature by adding your ballistic coefficient from the supplied table or from their website for numerous bullet types and several calibers.
Nice feel in the hand and an excellent ergonomic and comfortable neck strap. In all a great binocular for the price.
Would recommend: Yes

Really darn good binos, even better range finder.
Set up menu was easy to follow along with the included instructions.
I then started using it head to head with Leupolds best rang finder. The Bushnell exceeded the Leupold.
I was hitting rocks, buildings, tree trunks out to 1500 yards. Best range was window glass at 1620.
Would recommend: Yes

Nice optics. They could be a bit brighter. In low light or very bright light it can be hard to read.
Heavy! Needs to be about 2/3 this weight. Good quality build. Easy to setup different rifles and ammo.
Would recommend: Yes
