The Vector Optics Paragon 10×42 Rangefinder Binocular combines high-performance binocular optics with an integrated laser rangefinder, making it a must-have tool for hunters, outdoor enthusiasts, and nature observers. With precise measurements up to 2,500 yards and crystal-clear 10× magnification, this rugged instrument helps you identify targets and estimate distances swiftly and accurately.

Exceptional Optics Paired with Advanced Laser Technology

• Magnification: 10× for detailed long-distance viewing and target recognition.
• Objective Lens: 42 mm aperture with broadband anti-reflection multi-coating for brightness and clarity.
• Exit Pupil: 4.2 mm for a bright sight picture even in low light.
• Prism: BK‑7 roof prism with silver and phase correction coatings to enhance contrast and minimize internal reflection.

Integrated Laser Rangefinding with OLED Display

The Paragon binocular features a built-in Class 3R 905 nm laser rangefinder that delivers fast, accurate range measurements:

• Max Range: Up to 2,500 yd to a reflective target; 1,700 yd to structures; sufficient to identify deer-sized game at ~800 yds :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}.
• Display: Illuminated 9-level OLED display shows distance, angle, battery status, and selected reticle with clarity—visible even in bright daylight or low-light :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}.
• Scan Mode: Continuous ranging feature (<2 s per reading) for fast moving or multiple targets :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}.
• Inclinometer: ±60° tilt compensation for horizontal or slope-corrected distance display, accurate within ±1° to ±2° depending on angle :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}.

Reliable Construction for Outdoor Durability

Designed for rugged environments, this binocular offers:

• IP67-rated Waterproofing: Fully sealed against immersion up to 1 m for 30 minutes.
• Operating Range: Works reliably between –10 °C and +50 °C.
• Housing: Built from reinforced PPS polymer, combining impact resistance with lightweight portability :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}.
• Weight: Approx. 886 g, providing steady stability without adding excessive bulk :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}.

Comfort Features & Optical Ergonomics

• Eye Relief: 19 mm with twist-up eyecups for use with or without glasses.
• Interpupillary Adjustment: Smooth, secure IPD adjustment for users of different vision needs :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}.
• Focus Control: Central focusing with stepped diopter for sharpness on each eye and within the rangefinder reticle.
• Field of View: ~278 ft at 1,000 yds (≈5.3°), approximately 93 m at 1,000 m :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}.

Precision & Performance Settings

• Focusing Distance: 6 yds minimum for close-range observation.
• Measurement Accuracy: ±1 yd up to 300 yd; ±2 yd between 300–1,500 yd :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}.
• Reticles: Seven selectable ranging reticles with customizable brightness and unit options (yards or meters).
• Auto Shut-Off: OLED display powers off after approx. 30 seconds to conserve battery :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}.
• Battery: CR2 lithium (not included), easily replaceable via bottom compartment.

Use Cases & Advantages
