The 12X50 Fusion 1600 Arc Black Bullseye Laser Rangefinder Binocular melds Bushnell's top-of-the-line binocular optics with an Angle Range Compensation (ARC) rangefinder technology--providing hunters with an efficient and powerful field tool. Packaged in the size and weight of a standard 12x50-millimeter binocular, the Fusion 1600 delivers enhanced resolution and contrast with boosted light transmission thanks to its fully multi-coated optics and BaK-4 roof prisms with PC-3 phase corrective coatings. Meanwhile, the ARC Rangefinder displays the exact distance to your target from 10 to 1,600 yards at the push of a button. The rangefinder's built-in ARC Bow Mode delivers the shoots-like horizontal distance, while ARC Rifle Mode provides precise bullet-drop and holdover information. With Vivid Display Technology, (VDT) readouts are enhanced in all lighting conditions, while RainGuard HD water repellent lens coating ensures that your view is never obscured by the elements. Finally, a fully waterproof and fogproof submersible design ensures reliability and clarity in all conditions.

I compared the 12x50 fusion with the 7x26 monocular version - both utilize the same laser system 5-1600 yards is claimed, but at 1600 yards the beam does diverge and a whole bunch of stuff gets in the circle of rangefinding - you will want to practice on skinny or fat near or far objects to become proficient with the system day and night.
Busnell uses their fine optics for both transmission and reception of the laser pulses. On the 7x26 monocular, the beam is tramsitted out of the right hand lens using a prism to insert the beam into your sight picture. Both systems, when powered on, present a red colored circle that marks the center of your target. That circle holds ALOT inside it at 1500 yards+! the laser is going to work on the strongest reflection from inside the circle in either the binocular style or monocular style units. The laser is sent out of one lens on the binocular and its reflection is picked up off the other lens. On the moocular there is a dedicated receiver lens system for receiving the return without the extra prism's weight. On the binocs two prisms make the round trip path between laser emitter and receiver complete.
There is also the data display which shows yardage to the target along with other important data, such as rifle or bow mode and even a few ballistic tables to predict your bullets flight in rifle mode. The manuals tell you how to setup your system
On its own with the rangefinder turned off, its a great 12x50 pair of binocs with very little evidence of the electronics. My only personal dislike is that there are only 4 brightness settings. 10 would be better. Setting 1 works at night and total darkness but you can not even see it during the day. Setting 2 is slightly visible during the day. Setting 3 is overall OK, but can get washed out in the sun on a bright background. Setting 4 is nice and bright during the day, but lots of overkill at night. A couple more brightnesses would sure be nice. Other than that these are nice 12x50 dual tube rangefinders. As for my personal binocular I prefer the canon 15x50 Canon 15x50 Image Stabilization All Weather Binoculars w/Case, Neck Strap & Batteries image stabilized binocs. As you get over 10 power the shakes get in pretty hard. Canon did a good job putting that optical gyro on the free floating prism inside so that it counters small movements. EMPHASIS on small. If you're shaking like a leaf you'll hear the prism hit its stops and then the image shakes w/ the canon. I did not buy the 18 power x 50 canons because I wanted the field of view on the 15 power binocs.
Since I had a good set of binocs, I chose the 7x26 mm monocular simply because the 5-1600 yard range is the same on all of the bushnell units. The limiting factor is how much clutter gets inside the center circle. If you have trees at 400, 1000, and 1600 yards inside the circle then you'll likely get the 400 yard reading back. You must learn how to put your target inside the circle without any clutter to make an accurate measurement. I have some photos of the display and I will post them later off my digital slr camera so you can see what the data display shows.
IF I did not already have a good set of high power binocs, I would have chosen these for their combo 12power and rangefinder ability. Having that in one package is really nice. The tipping point was the nice OD case for the monocular with magnetic latch to close it. Nobody likes the rip of velcro in the field!
Both units are very nice long range units, but that center circle is your ranged item(s) - you need to learn how to use these day or night. Because they are IR lasers, they don't care much about what you range off of - asphalt or the stop sign next to it show the same distance. At longer ranges, the retroreflectors like stopsigns or reflectors on the side of the road really help to boost the rangefinder's ability to work at long ranges. They are spec'ed roughly 500 meters foilage, 1000 meters surface, and 1500 meters (1600) if you have a reflector to send back IR pulse energy. The whole process is done in a second - with moving targets hold down the button for updates.
I feel bushnell makes the best hunting/shooting/bowhunting rangefinders out there at a reeasonable price. Of course you could spend $26k for a light em up laser for air support, but that's more than my barrett, leopold mark 4, and BORS put together.

First of all, this Binocular Rangefinder only weighs 32.7 oz (the 10x42 model is 31 oz), I am not sure where the previous reviewer got the 48 oz.
I love the features and the design. I really love the bullet drop holdover feature! Don't expect to be able to range something small at 1600 yards, that is just not realistic. Read the spec before complaining about it (Flag 10 - 400 yards, Deer 10 - 500 yards, Tree 10 - 1000 yards, and Reflective 10 - 1600 yards), so an Elk is probably up to around 750 yards because of it's size. The color of the object, angle, and how intense the sun light is also affect its performance, just like any rangefinders on the market.
Great price range for what it can do compared to the onces which cost thousands of dollars!

The Arc 1600 will not range game one-half the distance of 1600 yards. For long range hunting and shooting you need a rangefinder that will range game out to the distance you are capable of shooting. If you are going to shoot reflective objects, other than game, then Arc 1600 may work for you. It is also extremely heavy at 48 ounces for mountain hunting.
