Luke Cuenco 06.28.21
Bushnell is famous for making a lot of great optics. From red dot sights to trail cameras, Bushnell pretty much has you covered. One of their newest releases – the Fusion X – is a pair of rangefinding binoculars that boast a whopping one mile of range. In addition, the IPX7 waterproof-rated binoculars also offer hunters a unique set of features including Angle Range Compensation (ARC) mode for assisting with shots taken at more extreme angles. Another great feature included with the Fusion X is their ActivSync technology which adapts the readout’s display from red to black to give you the best contrast for what you’re currently looking at.

The ActivSync display fluidly morphs from black to red readouts against bright backgrounds to help contrast the information for easier reading. The Fusion X offers IPX7 Waterproof construction and this means that the electronics contained within the Fusion X will be protected for 30 minutes even when submerged in water up to 1 meter in depth.
Finally, the Fusion X features Bushnell’s EXO barrier lens protection. The proprietary lens coating bonds to the exterior of the lens surfaces to repel things that might obscure your view like oil, dust, water, and other debris. The new rangefinding binoculars come with Bushnell’s lifetime warranty which is fully transferrable with no receipt required. So, if your trusty binoculars suddenly quit on you for any reason, Bushnell will have you covered. These rangefinding binoculars would be a great hunting companion for the parts of the country where long ranges can be expected and very few changes in elevation.
