Bushnell Quest Rangefinding Binoculars...and other brands too...

Anyone tried the rangefinding binocs by Bushnell, Leupold, etc?  How do you like them compared to having two seperate units?  Positives and negatives?  Thanks in advance!

I had a Quest. The range finder worked fine but the binocular portion was out of collimation right from the factory. I returned it for repair and it never was returned. I was told that it was at my POC's desk with my name on it but they didn't want them in the hands of writers until a decision had been made on what to do with the line. They are quite large physically and heavy as compared to the competition.

I never got mine back and never will as my POC left the company and her replacement refuses to return my phone calls or e-mails.

Shame really as I liked the concept and other than a factory defect when I got it I liked the product. I'd love to get mine back but it ain't gonna happen.

That stinks!  Right now I've got a pair of 8x32 Legends and a Yardage Pro 800.  Sometimes I carry both, I usually use the 800 while scouting, then make notes and just take the binoc's while hunting.  Sometimes though, I move around a bit, and then I wish I'd brought the rangefinder.  I figured, if I have a set like the Quest, then I've got it covered.
