Vortex - 6x22 Ranger 1800 Laser Rangefinder

The Vortex Optics 6x22 Ranger 1800 Laser Rangefinder gives you the critical edge to take that long-range shot with confidence that your first shot will hit where you want it to.

The powerful eye safe IR laser can range out to 1800 yards to reflective targets, or deer-sized targets up to 900 yards away. Integrated into the ranging system is an inclinometer that measures the relative angle between you and your target and displays an adjusted range distance for you to more accurately calculate your ballistic drop compensation (BDC) and improve your shot accuracy. For purists, a traditional line of sight option is available that provides the actual linear distance without compensating for the angle. With a ranging time of less than a second, your choice of spot or scan modes, the option of showing readings in yards or meters, and an auto-off function, the Ranger 1800 rangefinder is fast and easy to use.

The uncluttered illuminated display is easy to read in all light conditions without interfering with the view while a simple 2-button menu-driven interface makes navigating the system functions and options quick. A collar around the eyepiece brings the view into sharp focus, with a long eye relief that won't cause eye strain. Designed to withstand extreme conditions, the housing is nitrogen-filled and O-ring sealed to be waterproof and fogproof, with a broad operating temperature range and a slip-resistant armor covering. If you're moving quickly, the Ranger comes with a neck strap and convenient belt clip for fast deployment, or if you're up a stand or in a blind all day, the 1/4"-20 socket on the bottom allows it to be mounted on a support system like a tripod. The compact form factor is ergonomically designed to be used one-handed, and with a weight of under half a pound it can be packed and carried all day without fatigue or excessive bulk.

Optical Performance
