Vortex Optics Fury HD 5000 10×42 Laser Rangefinding Binocular
www.vortexoptics.com
High-quality optics and extreme long-distance ranging capability come together in Vortex’s all-new Fury HD 5000 10×42 rangefinding binocular. Convenience, speed, efficiency, and valuable dual-purpose functionally are the advantages of this rangefinding binocular. Capable of ranging reflective targets to an impressive 5000 yards with an improved, lightning-fast readout, hunters and shooters can quickly get distance data needed to effectively execute shots. Distance readings are displayed with .1 increment accuracy out to 999.9 yards/meters for ultimate precision. Calling out ranges for your hunting or shooting partner while reliably watching for impacts is easier with the Fury HD 5000. Critical visual cues are better observed (hit, miss, perfect shot, too far back, last location) and mentally cataloged to aid in decision making after the shot. Illuminated right-barrel display can be set to yards or meters. It features angle-compensated, as well as line-of-sight modes to match user preference and application. Scan mode gives readings as you pan or track a moving animal. The all-new last mode gives the range reading of the object furthest away, but still within the targeted area – ideal for sceneries where the subject you intend to range may have interfering objects in the foreground. Right-side controls are simple to use and easily manipulated with a single hand – leaving your other hand free to hold your bow, rifle or other important piece of equipment. Dialectic, fully-multicoated prisms and XR fully-multicoated HD lenses serve up impressive views. The rubber-armored housing provides a solid grip in all weather conditions as well as extreme durability. Multi-position twist-up eyecups are comfortable and offer customized eye relief. Smooth center focus wheel and left-eye diopter ensure optimal image focus.

Its high-visibility bright yellow color makes it easy to see in all conditions and a generously sized lanyard hole allows the attachment of security lines and lanyards.
