2018’s best new hunting gear: 6 awesome optics for glassing the wilds

MONARCH 3000 STABILIZED

Incorporating the optical stabilizing system from Nikon cameras, the Monarch 3000 laser rangefinder reduces viewfinder vibration by 80 per cent while simultaneously aligning the target image with the laser. The result is faster measurements on the first try, with automatic angle compensation.
