Product Description

When it comes to ranging distance and ballistic capability, the Bushnell Legend 1200 ARC laser rangefinder with Realtree camo packs a ton of power into a handy, easy-to-use, camouflaged package. The Legend 1200 ARC--which comes in a compact vertical body--offers instant distance readings of up to 1,200 yards. As a result, you can easily identify game from across the prairie or through a dense forest. The rangefinder also offers both Bow and Rifle modes. In Bow mode, the rangefinder will eliminate traditional bow guesswork by providing the true horizontal distance to the target from 5 to 99 yards. In Rifle mode, the Legend 1200 ARC gives you bullet drop/holdover data in inches from 100 to 800 yards, in effect telling you where to hold the scope. It's like having two different rangefinders in one.

That's just the beginning, as the Legend 1200 ARC also offers Angle Range Compensation (ARC). ARC accounts for the terrain angle when calculating distance, so you know precisely how to adjust your shot when facing extreme uphill or downhill angles. Geared for close-range use, the BullsEye mode acquires the distances of small targets and game without inadvertently measuring background target distances. When more than one object is acquired, the Legend 1200 Arc's LCD display shows the closer of the two objects. The unit also offers a Brush mode, which ignores brush, boulders, and tree branches in the foreground, and a Scan mode that surveys the course while continuously update the distance between you and your target.

And weather is never an issue thanks to the Legend 1200 ARC's fully waterproof construction and RainGuard HD anti-fog technology. The RainGuard HD coating breaks up moisture even faster and more effectively than the original RainGuard formula, and adds a slicker surface to help clear elements on the lens easier and faster. Additional details include a built-in digital inclinometer that measures angles from -90 to 90 degrees within 1 degree of accuracy; a pocket-sized ergonomic design with a textured rubber grip; and such accessories as a carrying case, battery, and neck strap.

The laser rangefinder offers both Bow and Rifle modes for increased versatility.

This review is from: Bushnell Legend 1200 ARC Bow and Rifle Modes Laser Rangefinder, Realtree AP Camo (Sports)

I have been wanting to purchase a rangefinder for several years. I originally was set on a Leica 1200 for no other reason than quality and name brand. I was disappointed when their price went up and its lack of features prompted me to look into other brands. I started looking into the Nikon and Bushnell brands and particularly liked the packed features of the Bushnell Elite 1500 w/ARC, however I hated the size. Then I had a chance to look at the Scout 1000 and then the recently introduced Legend 1200. This unit is made in China for Busnell. I could say that this unit seems to almost have it all. Portability and packed with more features than I would really need. The option to change meters to yards and ARC(angle range compensation) and a bullet drop calculation. The only thing missing in my opinion is; a lit reticle feature for low light applications. The glass does have some slight spots that are stated in the manual are part of the production process, but they are few and have only seen them around the right upper edge, otherwise the glass looks very acceptable. However this is not a spotting scope or binocular. Its funtion is to determine range, and it does that well. I have been shopping around for price in many webistes for quite some time and Amazon has had the best price on this item I have seen. It has fluctuated about 20-45 dollars within Amazon over the last year, but still has the best price compared to other big name internet outlets. When looking into rangefinders; a buyer should pay attention to the effective range on targets, to determine what they will mainly use the rangefinder for. In example: This unit says it has 1200 range, however that is on a "reflective" target. A tree can be ranged up to 850 yards and a deer at 475 yards. So there are many variables that can affect the readout and range of the unit. Some will say they can get more, others claim that they will get less. I purchased this unit because of its capability. I do not foresee trying to hit a deer at 475 yards, but I will do some 1000 yard target shooting, and this unit "Fits-The-Bill".

Everything is great except....

CR2 3 volt Battery is used. Beware... Take a few backup CR2's with you packed away for the hunt and season.

It would have been better if the range finder was designed to use easy to get 9 volt, CR123, AA's...

CR2's are not that easy to come by in small town settings for hunting or varmint shooting.

Excellent product,Easy to use! Very versatile with bow,rifle and muzzleloader modes.just wish they had included a pocket size ballistic chart for the BDC mode. Can find info on their website but a pocket sized version would be great for the field.
