Vortex has finally gotten into the laser rangefinder business, and they’ve made a big splash with their first foray: the Vortex Ranger 1000!
The first thing to note about the Ranger 1000 is it’s compact size. It’s small enough to fit in your pocket, but Vortex wanted to make it even easier to carry, which is why they added a utility clip. The Vortex Ranger will easily attach to your belt, making it readily accessible when you need it! A few of our guys at SHOT Show were really happy to see this new little feature. It may seem like a minor detail, but it shows that Vortex is thinking about what YOU need in a rangefinder.
To further make the Ranger 1000 user-friendly, the interface you see through the ocular is very intuitive, with a menu that is very simple to navigate. You’ll be able to access the mode you need quickly and easily in the field. One of these modes is the HCD mode, which stands for Horizontal Component Distance, which allows you to compensate for angle. Very cool stuff.
As the name implies, the Vortex Ranger 1000 can range reflective surfaces up to 1000 yards, so you should be all set for your next hunting trip if you take this rangefinder along. It should ship toward the end of summer or early fall. Watch the new Vortex Ranger 1000 SHOT Show video and stay tuned to GearExpert for even more great news from SHOT Show!
