Top 9 Best Rangefinder Binoculars For Hunting & Other Uses

Load your weapon information into the binoculars. The internal computer compensates for environmental conditions and ballistic curve.

Best features:

If you’re looking for one of the best rangefinder binoculars for hunting that’s affordable, look into these. These binoculars combine long range targeting capability with laser rangefinder technology. The display is bright and clear in various lighting.

The lenses have a rain-guard protective coating to repel water and fog. The matrix display technology enhances clarity and contrast to help identify your target faster. The right eye focuses the rangefinder display and distance. The left diopter is independent, making all three clear and visible. They also compensate for bright or low lighting situations to provide clear imaging.

You can set it for rifle mode or bow mode. Hunting wild game with a bow uses different targeting data. Why disturb nature with a loud gunshot? Leave the gun at home. Adjust the rangefinder settings to bow mode and hunt game like the pioneers did. Rated as one of the best value binoculars for hunting large game, it comes with a battery, neck strap, and carrying case.

Best features:

With 10 times magnification, you can easily zoom in on any target. That feature alone may make these the best zoom binoculars for hunting that you can buy.

The range finder has a Class 1 laser with a distance between 10 to 1,300 yards. The long distance range coupled with a 0.5-second measuring is a superb feature that really impressed me. Bring a deer that’s 1,000 yards away up close and personal for easier identification.

The lenses have a LotuTec anti-reflective protective layer to repel water and grease. They also have a dielectric mirror coating for sharpness in bright or low light.

They’re strong and durable thanks to nitrogen filling and waterproof coating. The onboard calculator offers a nice piece of functionality. Use it to select the ballistic curve and the sight-in distance independently of each other. I particularly enjoy that feature.

The Laserforce is a 1900 yard rated laser rangefinder in a sturdy 10X42 binocular with a current street price from $1100-$1200.  I was able to get quick and reliable ranges from 10 yards right up to, and over, the 1900 yard rating.  The angle compensation mode was accurate right into the archery ranges of 10-60 yards.  The CR2 battery lasted a long time, and the rangefinder operated effectively right

The build quality is robust.  Nikon is so confident in the build of this binocular, that they not only warranty the optics for life but the electronics as well!  You can see why when holding the instrument.

The Kilo 3000 is yet another awesome product from the electro-optic branch of Sig Sauer. Outdoorsmen looking for a good pair of hunting binos would do very well with the Kilo 3000 in-hand.

Featuring the company's BDX technology, the Kilo 3000 sits at the tops of Sig Sauer’s optics line bringing binoculars and laser rangefinders into one unit. 

Built on a 10x42mm body, the Sig Sauer 3000BDX offers an integrated laser rangefinder that claims up to a 5,000-yard range. Using Sig Sauer’s BDX tech, the Kilo communicates via bluetooth with smartphones and tablets.

The rangefinding capabilities of the Kilo were more than adequate for my purposes. I’ve found most rangefinders are rated for distances at the extreme envelope of their capabilities. Sig claims the Kilo can hit 5,000-yards, but I couldn’t find a target reflective enough to read that far during my testing. The Kilo did work great inside of 2,000-yards giving quick and repeatable readings for trees and even rocks in shadowed or sunny positions. 

The KILO 3000 BDX is one of the most affordable smart Bluetooth ranging binoculars available. If it’s all about budget, the KILO is your best option.

Here is our another choice for a great rangefinder binoculars with night vision feature

These binoculars are fully electronic, with a 4K sensor, and have full HD video recording capabilities. The features like range finding and wifi ballistics exchange are amazing.

The night vision is wonderful at short ranges i.e below 55 yards. Average at intermediated ranges of 50-100 yards. Below average beyond 100 yards. Beyond 100 yards the built in illuminator is too weak to give the image sensor enough light to produce anything besides a grainy image.

Both eyepieces can be adjusted separately so I can use it with my glasses on or without them, and see a clear picture in both cases

The 15 hour runtime should be enough for any day outing. If you're going to be glassing for extended periods at distances of over 1000 yards, you may want to go with glass optics.

It must be remembered that this is a multi-use product and for the price does things well overall. The night vision has to use IR to function which is a limitation. It also has an internal battery which can only be changed out by the factory. The operating time is suppose to be 15 hours, so time in the field may or may not be a problem.

If your expectations are that these will have optical quality similar to regular binoculars then you will be disapointed. Think of these as more of a camcorder with form and features that make them useable as binoculars.

Also, I felt the product was up to expectations for the price paid. On the other hand, if you want really superior binoculars with night vision, stabilization, laser range finder you can expect to pay thousands more.

• Rechargeable battery
• Low power consumption
• Laser Rangefinder
