Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Rangefinder Binoculars Field Tests

For the past 3 months I've been testing virtually every ranging binocular on the market in a variety of real-world scenarios, to see which had the best performance in the field in terms of both optical clarity and ranging capabilities. I tried to have a purely objective, data-driven approach, so the results are based on over 10,000 data points collected from the field. Here's the lineup:

• Vectronix Vector 23
• Vectronix Terrapin
• Leica Geovid HD-B
• Leica Geovid HD
• Zeiss Victory RF
• Bushnell Fusion 1 Mile
• Bushnell Fusion 1600
• Leupold RX-1000i TBR

The Swarovski EL Range is the only pair of rangefinding binoculars I�m aware of that wasn�t included � but it wasn�t for lack of effort. I talked to Swarovski multiple times trying to convince them to be part of this. I spent hours explaining the comprehensive line-up I�d compiled, and even detailed the field tests I was planning to run through with each pair. I answered every question they asked, and they still declined to be part of it.

Here are the biggest highlights from the results. To read the full review (including exhaustive details about how the tests were conducting and a lot more comparison charts), visit http://precisionrifleblog.com/2013/...ews-field-tests-overall-results-summary/
