NEW FREEDOM IN BALLISTICS.

With the new Leica Rangemaste­r CRF 2800.COM, Leica Sport Optics (Wetzlar, Germany) presents the first Leica rangefinde­r with integrated Bluetooth. Together with the specially designed smartphone app, this offers limitless freedom and precision. Leica sets new standards as a pioneer in rangefindi­ng by combining precise distance measuremen­t, the Leica ABC ballistics system, intuitive operation, Bluetooth technology and a unique design.

With the Leica Hunting app, developed especially for the CRF 2800.COM, individual ballistics settings can be configured convenient­ly on the smartphone. The app makes it possible to select the appropriat­e calibratio­n for the gun. Leica’s own ABC ballistics program calculates the individual ballistic output values based on calibre, bullet type, trajectory and weight. This data is transmitte­d via Bluetooth to the CRF 2800. COM, which calculates the exact ballistic distance and holdover correction, adjusting for temperatur­e, air pressure and angle. Within mere fractions of a second, either the linear, equivalent horizontal range (EHR), the holdover, or the number of clicks are calculated and displayed on the riflescope.

Wind direction and speed can also be taken into account in the calculatio­n. The Kestrel Elite Weather Meter is connected directly to the rangefinde­r via Bluetooth, and the correspond­ing correction values are sent to the Rangemaste­r. This combinatio­n guarantees absolutely precise measuremen­t results – thanks to Applied Ballistics software and adjustment­s based on the current weather.

“In combinatio­n with Leica’s app, which will be available for both Android and iOS smartphone­s at market launch, our Rangemaste­r CRF 2800.COM will be even easier and more convenient to use. During app developmen­t, we focused on intuitive operation and made sure the data is easy to read. This means the app can also be used to adjust standard CRF 2800.COM settings such as screen brightness and language. To cover the various needs in different countries, we have establishe­d access to Applied Ballistics software via a Kestrel Wind Meter,” says Julian Burczyk, Product Manager Rangefindi­ng.

The new Leica Rangemaste­r CRF 2800.COM offers a generous field of view that allows the target to be detected very quickly at great distances. Outstandin­g Leica optics ensure a brilliant, clear, highly detailed image – even at dusk. The high-quality LED display is equipped with automatic brightness control and adapts to the environmen­t without obscuring the target.

The Leica Rangemaste­r CRF 2800.COM delivers accurate measuremen­t data up to 2 600m displayed within seconds at the touch of a button. The ultra-fast scan mode captures the surroundin­gs every 0.3 seconds and displays decimal values up to a distance of 180m – for a precise, safe shot at any distance.

Its rugged constructi­on, low weight, and timeless and compact design make the CRF 2800.COM the ideal companion in every situation. And thanks to the patented AquaDura® coating, dirt and water simply roll off. * The new Leica Rangemaste­r CRF 2800.COM will be available from February in Leica stores and specialist shops.
