Striking a middle ground between magnification and objective lens size, plus the addition of a ranging device, the Bushnell 10×42 Fusion 1-Mile ARC Rangefinder Binocular is a versatile and powerful addition to your kit — whether on a trail, in a blind, or at a shooting range, providing you with the confidence to take those difficult long-distance shots.
Purpose-built for hunters and shooters, the 10×42 configuration allows detailed observations of distant targets from dawn to dusk, without the bulk of larger-aperture optics. Utilizing the proprietary XTR optical system, a combination of lens and prism coatings, views through the eyepieces are bright and sharp with high-contrast and true color representation. Combined with a field of view that approaches wide-angle and a long eye relief, this binocular is built for extended glassing sessions while looking for game. To withstand the rigors of the outdoors, the optical tubes are nitrogen-filled and O-ring sealed to be waterproof and fogproof. Slip-resistant rubber armoring protects the optic, while flip-up riflescope-type objective lens covers allow for fast deployment without fear of losing them.
To improve first-shot accuracy, Bushnell integrated a laser rangefinder. Capable of ranging from 10 yards to a mile, the Fusion is packed with ballistic technology to give shooters the critical edge at long distances. Using the information from the rangefinder and inclinometer, coupled with the BDC computer, it will display your hold-over in MOA, Mils, inches or centimeters. An intuitive two-button interface allows easy use and navigation of the settings menu using just two fingers, and all information is displayed in-view in a simple and uncluttered orientation that won’t overwhelm the scene or sacrifice color, clarity, or brightness.
Optical Performance
- 10x magnification
- 42mm objective lenses
- Compact BAK4 roof prisms
- XTR lens and coating system reduces light loss and diffraction through the entire optical path
- Proprietary PC-3 phase-correcting prism coatings eliminate internal light interference to improve brightness, clarity, and contrast
- Anti-reflection fully multi-coated optics improve light transmission, color, and further boost contrast
- RainGuard HD lens coatings repel water and moisture causing rain, snow, sleet and condensation to bead up and scatter less light for clearer views in challenging conditions
- 305-foot field of view at 1000 yards
- Long 18mm eye relief
- Comfortable 4.2mm exit pupil
Rangefinder
- Eye-safe IR laser
- Displays distance in yards or meters
- Spot and scan modes to range to a single subject, or multiple/moving targets
- ±1 yard/meter ranging accuracy
- Minimum Measurement Distance: 10 yd (9m)
- Max Measurement Range: Reflective target: 1760 yd(1600m); Tree: 1000 yd (914m); Deer: 500 yd (457m); Flag: 400 yd (366m)
- Integrated inclinometer measures upward and downward angle to target up to ±90°
- Angle Range Compensation (ARC) system accounts for the terrain angle and displays an adjusted distance for more precision
- Rifle Mode: Provides bullet drop/hold-over data from 100 to 800 yd in inches, centimeters, MOA, or mils
- Bow Mode: Provides true horizontal distance from 5 to 99 yd
- BullsEye Mode: Designed for close-range use, it measures distance to closest detected target while ignoring targets at further distances
- Brush Mode: Ignores the foreground, such as brush, boulders and tree branches, and provides the distance to furthest target
- Eight selectable rim-fire ballistic drop compensation groups, plus two for black powder/muzzle loaders
- Variable Sight-In (VSI) system allows sight-in distance options of 100, 150, 200, or 300 yd distance when in Rifle mode
- Powered by one included CR123 battery
Use and Handling
- Large, knurled center focusing knob
- Left-eye dioptric correction
- Right-side in-view display focus collar
- Twist-up rubber eyecups for comfortable use with or without eyewear
- LCD Matrix Display Technology: Amber in-view display provides information without sacrificing contrast, clarity and light transmission
- Display provides all info without cluttering view including battery status, mode, distance, bullet-drop/hold-over, and reticle
- Four brightness levels allow clear view of display without blinding or struggling to read
- Simple ergonomically-placed two-button interface: Range button on the right tube, Mode on the left
