Reviews & Ratings for Bushnell Fusion 12x50mm Rangefinder Binoculars — 10 reviews — Page 1

Bought a little over month ago. Opened them up put battery in. I was in my garage looking out backyard into desert out across to mountains. Very clear glass was looking forward to using them out riding in desert. And hunting.The rangefinder took a little to get use to but it was probably me but once I figured it out it was fine. Only thing negative the binoculars didn’t seem to fit the case very well. But this could also be me do to not spending very much time with them. So I put them on shelf with some of my other hunting equipment . About September 8-9 we lost everything in a fire I am still in hospital burn center in Las Vegas. So down the road when either we rebuild or move on I hopefully can replace them. I guess there are pictures online of the house fire I haven’t seen them so I you can see them Lake Havasu News. Az.

Bought the 12x 50 Fusion 4 years ago, i only use them a few weeks a year for hunting.They started out great then slowly they would not focus all the way, kind of frustrating.Not expecting a warranty of any kind, i sent them in to Bushnell for repair /calibration.With absolutely no communication at all i get them back in a week, with a invoice inside stating that it would cost to much to repair them so they gave me a voucher for a special discounted price of 950.00, that's sweet considering you can buy them new on Ebay for 650.00! trying to save a few bucks i originally paid 1,100.00 for them. I now stepped up and bought a pair of Swarovski El Range and couldn't be happier , yeah they cost a lot more, especially considering i blew an extra 1100.00 buying a cheap pair, its better to take the plunge up front and buy the top quality ones than to buy junk !

The range finder reads out great and the arc works good as far as I can tell so far but not been in the hills yet. Hunting close to dark so far works ok, they could be a little lighter to get that last minute good look at anything coming in late.

U would have to spend $2-5k more to actually have a slight better glass..other than that. My girl bought me these for Christmas and took like 1 min to set up..went out on the level wear there’s a walking trail an ranged out people from 1395 yards easy..I brought my hand held laser finder to compare..it’s was +|- 2 yards from it..hands down best option out there..when u throw in the bullet drop and elevation as well!

Wanted a really good binoculars/rangefinder for late day and early morning hunting. Was very excited when I received it; it is well built and feels solid. The glass is good but not great. The thing that bothered me most was that the buttons are not simple to use, although I suspect you would get used to them after awhile. The biggest drawback was the brightness of the display. It is orange, I wish it was red. With my old eyes it simply was not very crisp and if I am going to spend a grand on binocs I want to take full advantage of them.

You could feel the superior quality right out of the box. Easy set up. Had it up and running in no time. Accurate and reliable. Case seemed tough and well made. Sturdy, but not too heavy. Came with a carrying case. Rangefinder very easy to operate. Buttons easy to operate. Can't wait to get it into the field

Love it! No complaints or issues. It is accurate to within ~2 yards all the way out to 1000 (far as I could verify at the range). It ranged a building across town at 1900 yards (over 1 mile), and I have no reason to not trust that reading. The bulls-eye feature works well if you can find something with good reflection. It's a little tougher at far distances against grass/shrubs, but that will happen with any range-finder. I love the feature that tells you the angle & true range. You can set up like 10 rifles in the system to do most of the tricky thinking for you and tell you (Mils or MOA) how many units high low +/-.

Used as binoculars, the image is clear and wide. It's not the top-most glass on the market but you're saving $1000 for only a tiny step down in clarity. The image is very good.

One minor spot for improvement is the 'activate' button. It's sort of a hard press on the top that can unbalance the zero you have sighted. Bracing elbows on bench/ground helps a lot. That's the only minor imperfection I've found but it does not inhibit overall function.

I am glad I went with this Bushnell instead of buying them separately. I expect this will be the last binoculars & range finder I'll ever buy. Seriously, think about it, wouldn't you always want to be able to range what you see in your binoculars!?

Just received the binos and have not gotten to field test them yet. So far so good. Will update when I get to use them in the field. Got a hunt in November and another one in December. Hopefully they will perform to the level I am expecting. I will be hunting in Virginia in October and early November. Illinois in mid November. Nebraska in December. That should be a huge test of different areas and weather conditions.
