Vortex Vortex Rangefinding Binoculars blend a sharp 10x view with a fast laser, so you glass and range without breaking position. Setup is simple. Pop in a CR2 battery, select yards or meters, and choose angle-compensated or line-of-sight readings. Twist-up eyecups and a compact 10x42 frame ride well in most harnesses. The rubber armor grips with gloves, and the sealed body shrugs off bad weather. Scan mode updates as you pan, which helps on moving game or shifting wind holds.
