Whether setting sights on a distant trophy or ringing steel out to 4000 yards, the Vortex Razor HD 4000 GB ballistic laser rangefinder delivers all the range, ballistic, and environmental data needed for confident accuracy. Vortex has done this by taking its top-tier laser rangefinder and building in an on-board GeoBallistics solver. This app allows users to create custom rifle profiles, and more. A heads-up display, ballistic references charts, interactive mapping features and a comp tab to build and save range cards—this highly advanced solver inside the rangefinder allows for the creation of accurate shooting solutions with ease. 

Vortex Razor

Weighing just 10.1 ounces, the rugged and fully loaded Razor HD 4000 GB delivers the same four target modes (Normal, First, Last, and ELR) and two range modes—Horizontal Component Distance (HCD) and Ballistics Mode (BAL). Built-in environmental sensors (temp, pressure, humidity) in conjunction with the GeoBallistics solver, two wind modes, patented Vortex Wind Bearing Capture Mode and Full Crosswind Mode, make solving ballistic problems fast and easy in any environment or shooting scenario.

Vortex Razor with clips

The rangefinder is tripod adaptable, as well as water, fog, and shockproof. Intuitive, easy-to-use menus feature a simple, red, illuminated display that delivers data without a single unnecessary click. For more information, visit vortexoptics.com. MSRP: $1199.99 (Includes a premium carry case, utility clip, and CR2 battery).
