LEDE Rangemaster CRF Max

Leica Sport Optics USA has unveiled the Leica Rangemaster CRF Max. Designed for hunters and long-range shooters who demand precision and reliability, the CRF Max combines Leica’s optical performance with cutting-edge digital integration and a new heads-up display.

At the core of the CRF Max is its active-matrix microLED heads-up display (HUD), which delivers instant ballistic solutions directly in the optic, followed by new, user-programmable ranging logic that includes firstbest, and last target modes, as well as EHR mode for bowhunting. With Applied Ballistics Elite built in, users can store up to 30 custom gun profiles, access an on-board ballistics calculator, and receive holdover and windage corrections in real time, as far as Max can range. The new WEZ feature provides an extra level of decision-making confidence by displaying the likelihood of a successful hit under current conditions.

Beyond standalone performance, the CRF Max is designed to work with today’s devices. Through its Bluetooth interface, the unit effortlessly connects to the Leica Ballistics App, Applied Ballistics Quantum App, and Garmin ballistic watches; Kestrel and Calypso weather meters; and OnX (coming soon), Bahttps://www.basemap.com/seMap, and Google Maps for fully networked shooting solutions. This connectivity ensures hunters and shooters always have the latest environmental data, GPS tracking, and ballistic information at their fingertips.

Weighing just seven ounces and measuring only 4.4x3.1x1.4 inches, the CRF Max is one of the most compact and lightweight premium rangefinders available. Despite its size, it delivers a measurement range of up to 3,700 yards, on-board wind correction, and a full suite of environmental sensors, including station pressure, temperature, inclination, and compass.

“Leica has always led the way in optics innovation, and the CRF Max represents an important step forward for hunters,” said Ryan Holm, director of Marketing for Leica Sport Optics USA. “From the HUD with WEZ to seamless device connectivity, this is a tool designed to give hunters and shooters absolute confidence in the field. For NRL and PRS competitors, the CRF Max brings all ballistic intelligence—ranging, WEZ, Shot Probability, wind, and GPS mapping—into one platform, the result of years of effort to package everything needed to engage the target with precision.”

The Leica Rangemaster CRF Max is now available in Flat Dark Earth color and ships with a Cordura case, neck strap, and battery. A tripod adaptor and neoprene cover are available in two color options for purchase separately. For more information, visit leicacamerausa.com. MSRP $1,499
