Clear images and hard to believe long-distance ranging capabilities are the cornerstones of Vortex’s Fury HD 5000 10x42 Rangefinding binocular.

Lightweight, durable, clear and fast-ranging to 5,000 yards are deliverables in the new Fury HD 5000. Precise distance readings are displayed with .1 increment accuracy out to 999.9 yards. The Fury HD 5000 is a natural choice for long-range hunters wanting immediate readouts and information for follow-up shots.

An illuminated right barrel display can be set to yards or meters, and provides angle-compensated, as well as line-of-sight modes to match user preference and application with single hand control. The Fury 5000 HD’s Scan mode gives readings as you pan or track moving targets. The Last Mode feature gives the range reading of the object farthest away, where your target may be obscured.

Dialectic fully multi-coated prisms and XR fully multicoated HD lenses ensure clear objects, even in low light. The binocular is rubber armored, and uses a center focus wheel and left eye diopter to ensure optimal image focus.

The Fury HD 5000 Rangefinding binocular has an MSRP of $1,599. For more information, visit vortexoptics.com.

Review: Winchester 400 Legend

Winchester’s new 400 Legend is a streamlined, mid-sized straight-wall cartridge intended to fill the gap between its wildly popular 350 Legend and the notorious 450 Bushmaster. It is—in our opinion—a masterstroke of genius.
