[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1477848, member: 54178"] I'm using 10x42 [B]Bushnell ARC 1 Mile [/B]rangefinder binoculars. (I set mine for mil holds B/C my scope reticles are in mils.) I can scout and range with the same instrument and it is [I]very[/I] accurate in most conditions. The glass is decent. Maybe not ELD grade but good. Good coatings. At the time I got them they were considered "very good for the money". Mine were a warranty replacement (plus me paying a few hundred dollars difference) for a tits-up Bushnell Yardage Pro 1000 they no longer made. **The Bushnell ARC 1 Mile has no angle hold compensation for rifle and gives you only general cartridge and bullet weight categories for it to figure your hold. Ex.-> My setting for .300 Win mag 180 gr. Federal cartridges and 6.5 CM 143 gr. Hornady ELD-X cartridges is the [I]same[/I]. BUT... were I to do it again I'd definitely spring for the newest version of [B]Leica's HD-B [/B]10x42 rangefinding binoculars with all ED glass lenses. They have everything but a wind meter. You can load your exact load into their Micro SD card on your computer, stick it back into the binoculars and the binoculars' sensors do the rest for temperature, compass direction, spin drift, angle of shot (up or down), barometric pressure, etc. They are priced similarly to Swarovsky's LRFs but do a lot more. Both brands have about the same quality, but my choice in this department still goes to the Leica. Leica has been making laser range finding binoculars longer than anyone else. My reason for buying range finding binoculars is that it is a two-in-one instrument. Less crap to carry and, with [I]good [/I]LRF binoculars, you are often not paying much more than a good LRF monocular and decent, non-ED glass binoculars. Eric B. [/QUOTE]
