    Binoculars with RF

    Hi wise folk,

    Anyone had any experience with the Bushnell 10x42 fusion x binos? I am looking to upgrade and these seem alright for the price? I had the bushnell forge and they are pretty good so thought these maybe worth a look. Anyway any thoughts on these or recommendations are appreciated. please note I don't have huge dollars so the top end are out Chur

    Theyre fine depending on the price. Theres better out there for not a lot more money. But they do the job fine .

    If you can it’s worth getting a set with built in ballistics so you can range and get a solution at the same time. Saves time getting your phone out and plugging in the range

    The fusions do have a basic form of ballistics and it works well within the limits.

    I've got the fusions.

    Pretty bang on, bloody tough.

    Optics are actually pretty good.

    Albeit I'd like a set of leupold RF binos as the glass is quite a bit better but I've only found the optics wanting when compared to Leica etc which isn't fair on the bushys price point wise.

    Its been a while since i was in the market but others that were in the similar price bracket were the khales at the time were around 1500$. I wejt for the sig kilo 3ks and the ballistics program is excellent would be right next to a model with applied ballistics. It was range dial shoot that simple. I know the market has moved but the next step up in dollars was a lot better glass imo.

    Fusions are very capable both in terms of bino optical performance & the RF function. The range capability of RF is impressive. Hard to beat for the price.
