Victory RF
Cr ea te a bet te r h un t
Sometimes it is not enough to see your game clearly.
Sometimes, for one shot that makes the whole hunt
more memorable, you need to know the exact range to
your target and how bullet drop is going to effect your
placement.

Victory RF binoculars provide the clarity and power you expect
from ZEISS binoculars, together with range-fi nding and ballistic
information that is often critical for hunting. The large 45 mm
objectives ensure excellent image quality and brightness, even
in twilight.
What you then need are binoculars with maximum
contrast and clarity, which also provide you with the
exact distance to your target and holdover information
based on the trajectory of your load. Discover the new
Victory RF Binoculars: the world’s fi rst binoculars with
integrated laser range-fi nder, premium ZEISS optics, and
a sophisticated Ballistic Information System.
Performance in Action
Er gon om ic s a nd ea se of u se
The Victory RFs are designed to give you the best experience in
the fi eld. That means both performance and comfort. Holding
these binoculars in your hands, you will be surprised by their
comfortable fi t and lightning fast, intuitive operation. A touch
on the range-fi nding button displays the distance to the target
and then the accurate holdover value.

Superior Victory optics give you the best view of the
world possible: maximum resolution, exceptional bright-
ness, and absolute clarity. RF binoculars combine this
exceptional view with sophisticated ranging features in a
compact, rugged body. Innovation that improves your
experience in the fi eld – “Made in Germany”.
Range-fi nder: the “One Touch” Principle
When the range-fi nder button is pressed, the aim-point lights up so that you can
easily sight your target. After releasing the button, the distance is displayed in
yards or meters. When the Ballistic Information System (BIS™) is activated, the
holdover value is shown shortly after the distance. The “One-Touch” Principle re-
duces wasted motion to a minimum, for a steadier image when range-fi nding.
Set Button: Three Functions
With the set button you can:
• turn the Ballistic Information System (BIS™) on or off
• select the ballistic program to match your load’s trajectory
• select the desired unit of measurement (meters/centimeters or yards/inches)

Putting It All Together
Twilight Performance
45 mm l en s d ia met er an d Ca rl Ze iss T * m ul ti -co at ing
RF Binoculars offer optimal image quality even in twilight, when hunting is
most challenging. Compared to conventional 42 mm objectives, the 45 mm
objectives offer a 15 % brighter view. High-contrast optics, high effi ciency
prisms, and Carl Zeiss T* multi-coating provide outstanding, crystal clear
vision in any light.
Solid Construction
Li ght we ig ht, r ugg ed , f ul ly -ar mo red b ody
The magnesium body, with our unique environmentally friendly anti- corrosion
layer, is extremely resilient. Water and dustproof, and nitrogen fi lled, the
Victory RF is designed for extreme conditions without internal fogging.
Tough rubber armor absorbs shock and noise, and feels right in your hands.
Comfortable handling
Er gon om ic s a nd de si gn
The distinctive shape and fi nish, rugged construction and
innovative technology take handling and comfort to a higher
level for a better experience in the fi eld. Without a separate
laser emitter tube the Victory RFs look and feel like a binocular
should.
Protective Lens Coating
for Clear Vision
Lo tuT ec® w ate r- rep el le nt co ati ng
Stunning image quality, regardless of the weather: the LotuTec® protective
layer on the lens surfaces causes water to roll right off. Dirt, grime and fi nger-
prints wipe off with ease.
Clear Information
Th e s el f- ill um ina ti ng LE D dis pl ay
The LED display appears in the center of the fi eld of view when the button is pressed.
It automatically adjusts to the brightness of the surroundings, making it readable
against any background and in any light conditions.

Ballistic Programs
With the SET button you can select one of the six ballistic
programs, depending on your ammunition. Our calculator is
sophisticated enough to allow you to select both ballistic curve
and sight-in distance independent of each other, enabling the
use of both conventional 100-200 yard zeros, and two Euro-
pean systems of “optimum sighting distances”.
The Digital Laser
Range-fi nder
The combination of speed and accuracy is unique. Press
the range-fi nder button once, put the aiming-point on the
target, release the button, and the measured distance (up to
1,300 yards or 1,200 meters) appears in the center of the fi eld.
Self- illuminating LEDs give the sharpest readout possible. Hold
the button down for more than 3 seconds and the RF enters
Scan Mode, for continuous measurement of the distance to
small or moving targets.
BIS™ – Ballistic
Information System
Knowing the distance to your target makes a signifi cant differ-
ence in the accuracy of your shot and the success of your hunt.
The fully integrated electronic ballistic calculator (BIS™) will also
give you the correct holdover, based on the distance measured,
and the load trajectory you have pre-selected. The fast laser
range-fi nder and ballistic calculator will have you on target in
practically no time, every time.
