Laser rangefinders are one of the fastest evolving electro-optics products in the shooting industry. Just a decade back, the laser rangefinders with the capability of 3000+ yard performance were restricted to military use only. Even those products with 1,200 yards performance came with a hefty price tag. In 2019, thanks to Vortex Optics, you can get a 4000 yards capability laser rangefinder within a street price of US$500.
Vortex Optics has released a new laser rangefinder – Vortex Razor HD 4000. This single unit electro-optics provides you a compact 7x monocular along with robust rangefinding capability up to 4,000 yards. Though it comes with the MSRP of US$729.99, the street price is US$499.99. Vortex Razor HD 4000 Laser Rangefinder LRF250 has perfectly filled the void between the premium Vortex Fury HD 5000 Rangefinding Binocular and extremely economical Ranger LRF 1800 Monocular.
