Hunting success often hinges on quickly determining precise distances once you have spotted that elusive target. The Alpen 10x42 laser rangefinder binocular helps hunters do just that by combining two classical optical aids into one versatile unit. This waterproof binocular has a 42mm objective diameter that brings in lots of light without adding burdensome weight and features fully multi-coated, extra-low dispersion (ED) glass to maximize light transmission, which makes it easier to scout targets in twilight or other low-light situations. Once a target is spotted, the rangefinder feature can calculate the distance to the target accurately with lightning-fast speed. The unit’s rangefinder component, which has a hard target range of 5000 yards and a soft target range of 1700 yards, has both a line of sight setting and an angular distance setting for environments that require angle compensation. It also is outfitted with a scan mode for live distance measurements
