On March 1, 2014, Vectronix discontinued future production of the TERRAPIN rangefinder (photo).
While very successful among snipers, marksmen, policy and law enforcement, as well as shooting and hunting enthusiasts, the strategic decision was made to decommission the TERRAPIN due to the successful implementation of its newest pocket laser range finder – the PLRF25C – as well as to focus development efforts on future technologies.
Warranty on purchased units will continue to be valid for one year after purchase and continued support (including software updates, spare parts and maintenance) will be granted for at least three years from now.
The PLRF25C offers snipers, forward observers, spotters, marksmen and others the smallest, most powerful MIL-SPEC laser range finder available today. With a range performance of over 4,000 m and a weight of 590 g its performance-weight ratio is unique in the market.
Because of its small size, the PLRF25C easily fits in any pocket, making it handy during combat. The robust, compact design – with no moving parts and water resistance up to 10 m – enables operation in the most extreme conditions.
The ergonomic design of the PLRF25C allows one-handed use of the device. Little training is necessary and the one-button operation is intuitive to learn and execute, so the user’s survivability increases. Power is provided by a commercial CR123 battery, sufficient capacity for approximately 3,000 measurements.
Additionally, a digital magnetic compass, Bluetooth-compatibility and trademark Swiss-quality optics merge together to form this new market entry.
