Overview
A 10x42 binocular with a built-in laser rangefinder rated to 3000 yards on reflective targets and 1500 yards on game, using HCD angle-compensated ranging and a red OLED readout.
The included GlassPak harness and lifetime VIP warranty are part of the value case, though a couple of buyers received units with a quality control problem out of the box.

Who it's for
For hunters and target shooters who want binocular-grade glass with ranging built in, backed by a lifetime warranty. Less suited to bright, high-glare conditions where the laser reportedly needs multiple attempts to lock on.
