Vortex Optics is known for making quality optics and binoculars that can be used for duty, competition or recreation. A little over a month ago, the optics manufacturer released an updated version of their Strike Eagle 1-8x24mm FFP optic. Recently, Vortex has announced the release of three new feature rich and budget friendly laser rangefinders to market. The new Vortex rangefinders come in three different models the Crossfire HD 1400, Diamondback HD 2000, and Viper HD 3000.
Below, is the production description and specs for the three new laser rangefinders.
Crossfire 1400
rangefinder for bow and rifle hunters alike, you’ve found it in the Crossfire™ HD 1400. The Crossfire™ HD 1400 has everything you need and nothing you don’t. With a 1,400-yard max range (750 on deer), you get plenty of power to range and, thanks to the HD optical system, you’ll have the power to pick apart any landscape. To match any hunting environment, the Crossfire™ HD 1400 has three target modes (Normal, First, Last) and two ranging modes (HCD and LOS). A red TOLED display keeps the readout clear in any lighting conditions and, at just 4.8 ounces, the Crossfire™ HD 1400 hunts hard and carries light.
