About the VICTORY 8×26 Rangefinder:
Introduced as the world’s first monocular laser rangefinder outfitted with an LED display and Ballistic Information System – BIS™. This versatile, compact unit houses a powerful 1,300-yard laser rangefinder paired with the same BIS found in ZEISS VICTORY RF binoculars.
