VICTORY PRF

> 8X26 T*PRF
 
.

Model: Victory 8x26 T* PRF

Description :

The pocket-sized all-rounder for

- Observation

- Rangefinding

- Ballistic evaluation

 

This system has become an indispensable companion, whether for hunting abroad or at home. Not only knowledge of the exact distance to game is a decisive factor, but also the resulting holdover (requiring the hunter to aim x centimeters above or below the target) is of major importance.

With the Victory 8 x 26 T* PRF, Carl Zeiss implemented the world’s first digital laser rangefinder with LED display and integrated BISTM ballistic calculator.
The high-performance optics with a two-element Achromat in the 26 mm lens and Carl Zeiss T* coating provides a very bright image: its 8x magnification also makes the Victory 8x26 T* PRF ideal for long distance observation, and the 26 mm lens diameter provides reserves for poor light conditions. The 110 m field of view, measured at a distance of 1000 m, provides users with a full overview in any situation.

The ergonomic design and ease of use of the Victrory PRF also leave nothing to be desired.
A slight press of the measuring button displays the range and the required correction value for the point of impact in the field of view.

First deliveries: End of August 2008

 

Key functions
Observation
Bright, high-contrast image thanks to the 8 x 26 T* optics.
The self-illuminating LED display used instead of a light-swallowing LCD display and the large 26 mm lens diameter ensure outstanding image brightness
   
Rangefinding
Fast and precise rangefinding thanks to a laser measuring system with digital signal evaluation.

a) Press the RANGEFINDING button = turn on the target mark and aim at the game
   
b) Release the button = measurement and display of the distance
Either in meters or yards.

This "One-touch principle" ensures fast and precise measurement with minimum blur caused by hand tremor.
   
Ballistic calculation
If a ballistic program is set, the ballistic calculator automatically shows the correction value for the holdover after displaying the distance.
Example:
H32 means: aim 32 cm higher

Innovative Details:

 

Brilliant optics

- Bright image thanks to 26 mm lens diameter

- T* multi-coating for maximum light transmission

- Full field of view for eyeglass wearers thanks to special eyepieces

 

Mechanical design and appearance

- Clearly arranged and easy operation via two buttons

- Self-illuminating LED display with automatic brightness adjustment

 

Programs

- Rangefinding, either in meters or yards

- BISTM ballistic information system with display of the required correction of the point of impact.

- Selection of the bullet flight path and the zeroing range for the BIS™ via the SET button.

- Scan Mode for fast repeating measurements of small of moving targets.

 

One-touch principle

- Fast and precise measurement

- Press the MESS button: indicator appears

- Release the Mess button: the measurement is performed and the result displayed.

Ballistic Information System BIS™

 

If the alignment distance and the flight path of the bullet are known, the required holdover H can be determined for every distance. The integrated BIS™ ballistic information system performs this task in a fraction of a second.

The right program as the basis for the ballistic calculation is selected in 3 steps:

Which measuring unit is used?
“Meters” or “yards” are available.

To which distance has the weapon been aligned?
Available: 100 m or GEE (most favorable zeroing range) if meters were selected as the measuring unit, or 100 yd and 200 yd if measurement is made in yards.

Which of the available ballistic curves corresponds to the flight path of my bullet?
Compare your ammunition with the database to make the right choice.
BIS ballistic programs
All curves for selection of the right program.

The relevant program (e.g. EU 3) can be entered easily and quickly via the SET button.

After each measurement, the correct holdover is immediately shown in the image field after the display of the distance.
For example, H32 means: aim 32 cm higher.
If yards were selected as the measuring unit, the holdover is automatically displayed in inches.

Please note:
The ballistic information system merely helps to support and increase reliability and does not replace your own assessment and experience as a hunter. We would recommend you to make some trial shots to verify compliance of the data with the actual impact points. Deviations can be caused, for example, by different mounting heights and barrel lengths of the riflescopes or by the weather, and must be taken into consideration accordingly.
