Do Binoculars With A Built-In Rangefinder Make Sense?

A good idea but not without limitations

The estimate of hunters that carry binocs when they're hunting is pretty decent. In fact, more hunters probably should. Yes, you give up some field of view when you look straight through any magnified device, but sometimes there's no great way to see far-off movement or that bedded-down deer that you would never see with the naked eye. If you're in dense cover or part of a deer drive or something, binoculars may not do you much good, but in a bow hunting stand or still hunting or abundance of other scenarios, they're a great increasing to your gear.

Rifle Scope

Unfortunately, one of the main limitations is the small estimate of models to choose from, especially if you want to keep the price under four figures. Also, if you weren't going to carry a set of binoculars, they're considerably heavier and more bulky than a accepted handheld range finder. And finally, there's that whole golf thing - you're probably not going to want a pair of binos around your neck as you enter the tee box. Pesky microscopic issue.

A demand of convenience vs. Versatility and cost

It seems that there should be more models to choose from in this category. The Leica Geovid and the Carl Zeiss optical are very high quality and are rated very well, but they are quite expensive. And the Newcon's price is naturally breathtaking. The Bushnell Fusion is more within reach of what it would cost to get a detach unit for both items, but that's about it.

While more versatile than a rifle scope with a built-in rangefinder, a binoculars combo still has limits on where and when you would use it. They're not the smallest items in your gear bag and you wouldn't want to treat them too roughly. The key to any compound unit is that the combo must accomplish as well or great than the detach units would. The microscopic selection of rangefinding binoculars will do that - but you'll most likely pay for it.

Useful for a wide range of hunters

There are many situations where binoculars are more than beneficial for hunters. Archery and bow hunters can use them to detect bedded down and private animals they would never see with the naked eye. Varmint hunters can get a close image of long-range game such as prairie dogs and others. Roughly no matter what you're hunting, a good set of binoculars can be invaluable. Heck, even waterfowlers can use them to scan the marsh.

And hand in hand with finding your target is knowing how far off it surely is, instead of guessing - and potentially guessing wrong. While there a compound unit is by no means an absolute necessity, it is something that every hunter should at least consider

One more thing - and it can be a big one...
