About This Model
The ZEISS Victory RF 8×42 combines 8× magnification and 42 mm objective lenses with an integrated laser rangefinder for hunting and long-range outdoor observation. Its 405 ft field of view at 1,000 yards helps users scan open terrain, while the 5.3 mm exit pupil supports comfortable viewing. The built-in rangefinder measures distances up to 2,500 yards, bringing observation and distance measurement together in one optical instrument.
The rangefinder system incorporates a real-time ballistics computer and connects to the ZEISS Hunting App through Bluetooth. Users can synchronize relevant personal and environmental data to support distance-based ballistic calculations. The laser operates at a wavelength of 905 nm, and ZEISS specifies a measuring time of less than 0.3 seconds. Actual measuring performance can vary with target characteristics and environmental conditions.
The Victory RF 8×42 features ZEISS T* lens coatings and LotuTec technology, along with nitrogen-filled construction and water resistance rated at 100 mbar. Its interpupillary distance adjusts from 54 to 76 mm, and the listed weight is 32.8 oz. The binocular uses one 3V CR2 battery for its electronic rangefinding system. These features make it a specialized option for hunters who want optical observation, laser distance measurement, and connected ballistic functions in one device.
