Trademark Nikon Accuracy

Advanced laser pulse receivers give you incredibly fast and consistent measurements.

Tru-Target Ranging System

Provides flexible viewing with first target priority mode, distant target priority mode and scanning capability to find trophies in the field. Bright, multicoated optics.

• First Target Priority Mode: Allows confident ranging of objects as small as fence posts or to get an instant reading on that lone buck in the meadow.
• Distant Target Priority Mode: Displays range to the farthest target among the targets measured, ideal for accurate ranging in typical hunting situations where game animals may be partially obscured by grass or brush.

Single-button operation.

Active Brightness Control Viewfinder

In darker conditions, the rangefinder will automatically turn on the orange LED illumination to the liquid crystal characters for optimum visibility--even adjusting its brightness as needed for appropriate contrast against the background. In brighter conditions, the rangefinder will display the newly designed LCD, which provides suitable contrast and readability against a variety of backgrounds, together with enhanced light transmission.

Displays in 1/2-Yard Increments

Displays in 0.5-yard increments out to 1,000 yards and 1-yard increments beyond 1,000 yards.

Single Button Operation

For fast, easy measurements.
