Bushnell Binoculars and range finder, what are your thoughts

[michaelcollins]

Looking at picking up a pair of each purely for hunting. Not looking to spend a fortune. I'm hunting Deer.

Looking at the Bushnell 1300 range finder and the Bushnell Engage DX 10x42

If you buy the binocular used it will save you 50%. Check EBay.

There are so many superior options in rangefinders and binoculars for less $$$ from Meopta, Athlon, Hawke, Kowa.
Give a call, 516-217-1000, and we can discuss different choices and what would be best for you

The bright imaging and the ability of the Prime 1300 to actually give a reading in tough conditions along with the speed makes it worth it for the $139.99 shipped that they are right now. If it's for deer, it does the job great.

The Engage DX are a good in between if you want dielectric, EXO Barrier, and magnesium chassis but aren't wanting to jump up to the cost of the ED. Engage line goes EDX>DX>X. Best price on Engage binos is often Amazon.

Yeah Amazon is where I'm looking. Thanks for the reply. Most of my scopes are Bushnell and the way I'm looking I might as well move the rest of the gear in that direction.

Not knocking Bushnell, I have a pair of 10x42's that have worked great for me. I also have better ones. IMO, wanting all your optics to be Bushnell is like only buying Remington rifles. They have some good ones but they have a lot that are mediocre. I'd give Doug a call, like he offered, if your not familiar with some of the other better options out there.
