Leica Rangemaster CRF 2800.COM Laser Rangefinder

Description

The revolutionary new Leica Rangemaster CRF 2800.COM Laser Rangefinder is the first dedicated compact laser rangefinder capable of precise distance measurements up to 2,800 yards/2,600 meters and benefits from easy smartphone programming via Bluetooth and the new Leica Hunting App. This means Leica ABC Ballistics can be customized directly through a smartphone as well as a Kestrel Elite weather meter.

The Leica Rangemaster CRF 2800.COM offers hunters and long-range shooters three ballistic outputs in addition to the measured distance. Depending on the ballistic data required, when using Leica’s ballistic program, the CRF2800.COM provides either hold over value in inches, centimetres or come ups in MOA or MILs to 1,000 yards, or equivalent horizontal range (EHR) to 1,200 yards/1,100 meters. When connected with the Kestrel 5700 Elite with Applied Ballistics, the CRF2800.COM will display both elevation and windage corrections as far as the range finder can read.

Data is shown on the integrated LED display, which automatically adjusts to ambient lighting conditions. The scan mode measures environmental conditions and target distance every 0.3 seconds. Between 10 and 200 yards, the CRF2800.COM displays distance to the tenth of a yard, an especially useful feature for archers. Thanks to its compact size and weight, it can easily be carried in a shirt pocket.

With the CRF 2800.COM, Leica offers a product with a complete new operation concept, the Leica Hunting App, which raises the ease of use to a new level. The App will be available in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, and the minimum smartphone Operating System requirements are iOS Version 9 and Android Version 6. The menu of the CRF has been extended to include a Bluetooth menu (BT) with new settings:

• APP (Connection to a smartphone)
• LAT (Latitude, Connection to a Kestrel Elite Wind meter)
• OFF (Bluetooth off)

Combining the best ranging capability, Applied Ballistics through a Kestrel wind meter, ease of use, Bluetooth technology and compact design, no other compact range finding solution comes close.

Technology

• Integrated Bluetooth 4.1 connectivity to Android/iOS smartphones running the Leica Hunting app or a Kestrel 5700 Elite weather metre.
• Built-in ABC ballistic programme compiles data for angle of incline, temperature, barometric pressure, rifle being used, and ammunition load for precise hold over/under with displayed adjustments for improved shot accuracy in MOA/inches, centimetres/MIL, or distance.
• When connected with the Kestrel 5700 Elite with Applied Ballistics, the Rangemaster will display both elevation and windage corrections as far as the rangefinder can read
• Equivalent Horizontal Range (EHR): An algorithm that uses distance, angle, and other environmental factors to calculate and display an adjusted range.
• ABC and EHR systems accurate to 1200 yards.
• Twelve pre-programmed ballistic curves based on popular loads; output values available at ranges from 10 to 875 yards.
• Create custom curves through the free smartphone app; ballistic curves available from 10 to 1000 yards.
• When using the optional Kestrel 5700 Elite weather metre, ballistic curves are available from 10 to 2800 yards.

Optical Performance

• 7x power magnifies the view to ensure proper identification and reticle-target alignment.
• 24mm objective keeps the form factor small to easily fit in the hand and allowing for one-handed operation.
• Compact roof prisms provide the room required for the optics and rangefinder to fit in the easy-to-hold housing.
• P40 phase-correction prism coating improves colour rendition and contrast.
• Hydrophobic AquaDura coating on outer lenses protect surfaces and cause water and oil to bead off lenses for easier cleaning and clearer vision in bad weather.
• 347' field of view at 1000 yards.
• 13mm eye relief.
• 3.4mm exit pupil.

Use and Handling

• Convenient single-button activation and operation.
• In-view LED displays in red for easy viewing in all light conditions.
• Options to display angle, temperature, and pressure.
• Ambient light metre with automatic brightness adjustment, or five manual settings.
• ±3.5 dioptric correction enables reticle to be properly focused.
• Fold-down rubber eyecup for comfortable use with or without eyewear.
