Nikon 10x42 LaserForce Rangefinder Binocular https://swfa.com/catalog/product/view/id/118233/?___SID=U Combine Nikon binocular performance with the extreme speed and ranging technology of a 1900-yard laser rangefinder and you have LaserForce, Nikon’s new 10x42 Rangefinder Binocular. Quite simply the single optic solution for serious hunters who depend on both their binocular for picking out distant animals and their rangefinder for getting the exact distance before taking the shot. Featuring ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass and Nikon’s ID Technology to compensate for incline or decline angles, LaserForce puts ranging precision, optical performance and rugged performance within your reach. Rangefinder Binocular with 10-1900 Yard Range* Very bright, clear display with 4-step intensity adjustment; easily readable under any lighting conditions and against various subjects, with single or continuous measurement up to 8 seconds. Displays in increments of 0.1m/yd, when shorter than 100m/yds and in 1m/yd at 100m/yds and over. Auto power shut-off function saves battery life by shutting down after 8 seconds of non-use. (*For reference. Under Nikon’s Measurement conditions. The specifications of the product may not be achieved depending on the target object's shape, surface texture and nature, and/or weather conditions.) ID (Incline/Decline) Technology Nikon’s advanced ID Technology provides the horizontal distance to the target, even when ranging at various incline or decline shooting angles—up to an incredible +/- 89 degrees (nearly vertical up or down). Full Multilayer-coated Lenses and Prisms and ED Glass Reflective mirror coating is applied on the mirror surface of the roof prism unit, providing for bright images. Lead- and arsenic-free glass is used for all lenses and prisms. ED (Extra-low dispersion) Glass corrects chromatic aberration that causes color fringing for high-resolution, contrast-rich images. Long Eye Relief Design Ensures a clear field of view, even for eyeglass wearers. LaserForce is Fully Covered by Nikon's No-Fault Repair/Replacement Policy for Binoculars, Riflescopes and Fieldscopes Focusing System Central Focus Magnification 10 x Objective Diameter 42 mm Angular Field of View (Real) 6.1 ° Angular Field of View (Apparent) 56.1 ° FOV at 1000 yds 320 ft Wide FOV Yes Exit Pupil 4.2 mm Relative Brightness 17.6 Eye Relief 15.5 mm Size (Length x Width) (5.8 )x 5.2 in Weight 30.9 oz Interpupilary Distance 58 -72 mm Waterproof/Fogproof Yes Prism Roof ED Glass Yes I have seen these. Optically I would rank them between a Monarch 5 and Monarch 7. These should be in late Spring.

Skylar, I have some friends who got in early to do some product testing with the Laserforce Binorangefinder and I was told, you're gonna love this! I can't wait to get my hands on one for predator hunting. 1900 yard capability and 10X bino, this should be a huge hit for Nikon. The ED glass tells you Nikon spent a lot of time on R&D to put out a product that hunters and longrange shooters want. Thanks for the post Skylar, I'll make sure to add a review once I get my hands on the LaserForce.
Longtime hunter/shooter/fisherman who loves being outdoors. I used to hunt/compete with my son, but he's now stationed in Germany. Never enough time.

Barton,
I agree, Nikon has invested a lot of time listening to the market over the last year and introduced several new products that are going to be welcome additions to the hunting community. This bino was one I think will carry the most weight.
They also have a new scope coming, that I think is going to be interesting. I will post more about it as I obtain more information.

They appear to be virtually the same thing? Looking for clarification, not arguing. Thanks.

Johnny these are brand new offerings from both manufactures. Sadly I do not know anyone who has seen the Vortex yet.
I'm eager to see it and see how it compares to my Razors I'm currently using.

Ok, was hoping this guy had some "inside scoop" or something. I like the idea of a mid priced, quality RF/bino.

I agree, as well as many other guys you like and I. You know, the guys that hold all their vacation time up for deer season. Checking trail cameras ever chance you have to go to the lease. This will definitely be a home run.
