From Cabela's

Item: IK-713443

for $299:
100 yard rangefinder
10x42 binocs
Out and back GPS
plus Cabela's gave me $20 off (for ordering today?).
Then there's a coupon for a camo fleece from Bushnell.
Looks like a great deal, can't wait to get it in and try it out.

I got the package in and here's my impressions so far:

Binocs are the "sportsman" model - they are about $30 at Wally Mart, still pretty decent and waterproof.

Out and Back GPS - this is actually the "Out and Lost GPS"! - I took it on one hike with my family, and let's just say it is a good thing we were on a well marked trail. As we were heading back to the car (only 1/2 mile away), I kept thinking the car was more toward the right, and not left where the GPS was telling me to go. Whatever, as we got close to the car and I could see it (maybe 125 yds away), the compass on the GPS is telling me to turn left 90 degrees! If there wasn't a trail to follow, I never would have made it back!

Rangefinder - ranged a few things around the house and it works fine. Not waterproof. Much smaller than the rangefinder I had 10 years ago - about the size of a pair of compact binocs folded up (2 packs of cigarettes?).

was planning on buying that or the other combo (ARC rangefinder, 10X42 "H2O" binocs, cheap knife and some sort of DVD)

I will look and confirm those are the "Sportsman's", the guy at Cabela's said they were $80 bino's there sold seperately and the "H2O's" were $90ish. I looked online and they are, but could not find the Sportsmans anywhere on Bushnell's site.
