We do not doubt that it can pick up a deer at 400 yards like promised. The Impact joins all other Vortex rangefinders in the unique fact they are fully covered for life by the legendary VIP Warrantyincluding electronics. Vortex claims Impact 850 is +/- 1 at 100 yards.įrom our testing we found it to be pretty accurate. It was pretty considerate of Vortex to include such a well-written guide. You can use the scan feature in both modes. Not forgetting this is an entry-level rangefinder. The book is really helpful if you are using the scope for the first time. If it’s your first time using an angle compensating rangefinder then please do read the included guide book. The included book explains both modes in clear detail. This is helpful when shooting out to 800 yards with slopes greater than 800 yards. Allowing you to calculate the ballistic correction on your own. It shows the line of sight yardage and angle differently. This mode is really helpful if you shoot out to 400 yards at less than a 30-degree angle. In HCD mode the rangefinder uses the line of sight yardage and angle to calculate the distance between the target and shooter. But at night it might be a little difficult sometime to get the read right in the first go. Vortex Impact 850 uses this technology to give distance data between the shooter and target.īut the reticle is only available in black color. At day time you will have no issue reading the black color words in the scope. HCD stands for horizontal component distance.

Not that you need that big eye relief on a range finder anyway. Resulting in excellent images. Which everyone appreciates? You also get a generous amount of eye relief. Like we mentioned fully multi-coated with different kinds of coating to ensure the highest amount of light transmission. The air-to-glass surface coating ensures increased light transmission. This time too they didn’t disappoint. The optics are fully multi-coated. They are making them for quite a while now. I have been impressed by the optics quality of Vortex time and time again. Vortex provides some of the best budget lenses you can find on the market. Those seals also prevent all kinds of dirt, debris from penetrating the rangefinder. The rangefinder is also waterproof. The scope has O-seals which prevents moistures to go inside the rangefinder and mess it. What we mean is that Vortex Impact 850 got an excellent body. We have reviewed many Vortex products in the past.
