Spotting Scopes / Binoculars

Built for extreme hunters and shooters, this angle-compensated ballistic laser rangefinder can quickly calculate customized holds based on uploaded ballistics data.

So why do we care about a larger field of view? Every degree added increases what you can see in the dark without panning your head around.

I had an opportunity to use the binoculars for a short time on a prairie dog shoot in Wyoming and came away impressed because the Fusion X binoculars pack a lot of functionality into an affordable package. The binoculars are backed by Bushnell’s transferable lifetime warranty, which translates into a defined life of 20 years for the binoculars and five years for the electronics.

Stabilized binoculars are pretty rare on the civilian market, but they have a huge following in military circles. The stabilized part comes from an internal gyroscopic stabilizer, a mechanical device that makes them self steading. It is a weird concept, for sure. But in practice, it is basically magic. It really does work and is a game-changer for binocular work.

I’ll say at the outset that the title of this review is a lie. In order to do a “full review” of the new Vortex Fury binos, I’d need a lot more copy space than my editor is going to give me. The Vortex Fury HB 5000 AB is so loaded with features and functionalities [...]

Meopta has long had a great reputation for quality European glass at reasonable prices. So, you can imagine how excited I was to learn that they were introducing the Meopta Optika LR 10×42 HD Rangefinding binos. I’ve been field testing them since they came out and can say they are a solid option.

When hunting in the western states, the terrain is vast, open and hard to reach. Because of this, optics are an extremely important asset. To be more specific, good optics are important. In order to see bighorn sheep up in the deepest cirques behind the highest peaks, or mule deer feeding out of the dark timber across the canyon, a hunter needs an optic that will provide superior edge to edge clarity, light transmission and resolution to help them claim success in the field. This is where the Leupold SX-5 Santiam HD came into play!

The Vortex Fury HD 5000 is a compact unit that offers a crisp, clear view for spotting and evaluating game or targets and a powerful, fast rangefinder to determine a precise range to those targets. Two fantastic tools in one small package.
