DESCRIPTION
Combining a powerful ranging tool with an all-weather optic, the Nikon 10x42 LaserForce Rangefinder Binocular is a multi-tasker that will be a valuable addition to your hunting kit. The integrated rangefinder measures distances from 10 to 1900 yards in less than a second, and displays it directly in your line of sight. A built-in inclinometer measures the relative angle to your target and can calculate an adjusted distance to increase your shot precision. To range a single subject the LaserForce has a spot feature, and for moving targets or to range multiple targets quickly, simply hold the laser button down for continuous measurements.
Optically, the LaserForce is configured with the popular combination of 10x magnification and 42mm objectives. This combination allows you to make detailed observations at distance with competent low-light capability, without being too large and bulky. Equipped with lead and arsenic-free extra low-dispersion (ED) glass elements and anti-reflection multi-coatings on all lens surfaces, images are crisp and clear with accurate colour rendition and increased contrast. A long eye relief, comfortable exit pupil, and wide viewing angle provide an easy and immersive observational experience.
Engineered to survive in extreme conditions, the chassis is made of a lightweight and durable aluminium alloy that is nitrogen-filled and O-ring sealed to be water and fogproof. The optical tubes are wrapped in protective rubberised armouring that provides a slip-resistant grip, especially in cold and wet weather. For long days in the field, the LaserForce can be tripod mounted with an optional adaptor to reduce arm fatigue or to leave both hands free, and a large, knurled centre focus wheel is easy to manipulate even while wearing gloves.
