These are difficult to judge because their price point sets them apart from the competitors. Don't expect the glass to match the top European names at this price, and it certainly doesn't. However, the glass is suitable for range finding needs, and is about on par for you're spending. The laser seems to work well and has produced readings out to the advertised distance. I do think there are better readout and internal displays of other rangefinders, but this could largely be personal preference. The area that knocks these binoculars the most is some simple layout and design features that didn't need to be shorted for the lower price. Eye cups are a twist out design with no detent locking mechanism whatsoever. They are also very easy to twist and will collapse with light pressure. This causes you to constantly have to reset them or open them if you want the eye cups extended. Eye piece focuses are very poor as well, in that they are too easily adjusted, no locking feature, and have a slack in the adjustment opposite to how you turn them. For example, turn towards + and you will receive some resistance as the mechanics are moved, but you will have a decent turn back towards - with near complete free motion (no resistance). It's obvious that that the mechanics are not precise enough that there is a slack or dead space when reversing directions. Again, a feature that will require more of a constant reset and adjustment. Lastly the central eye focus is placed too far forward, and of all the adjustments has by far the most resistance, which is much more than needed. The laser button is a bit stiff for keeping aligned when pressing, but this could probably be something to get used to. These could easily pick up 1 or 2 stars considering their price if Bushnell would correct a couple simple mechanical features. Place a detent on the eyecup when it is extended, add a locking eye piece focus, or create some friction on the dial to prevent it from turning on it's own, and adjust the focus dial back farther. Lightening the laser button, and the resistance on the central focus would also help. I would say overall these binoculars are disappointing because of the above stated issues. Read full review

The Bushnell laser Binocular seems to be accurate and allows one to only carry one device to view as well as judge distance. The are a little heavier than Zeiss and Swarovski but less money by far. So I will put up with the extra weight for now.

for the price I will sacrifice the weight. look to be accurate in the rage finding side and very clear. it will be nice to carry one unit to do two jobs I ranged a cow at 751 yds in full sun way better than my range finder before

It’s actually my second one. The other lost its eye cups and is being send to Bushnell but I have an elk and antelope hunt coming up. Can easily range animals out to 500 yds.
