The new CRF.1 is a compact rangefinder designed with the same cutting-edge technology as the brand’s premium RF Series rangefinder, but offered at the exceptional value that the company’s C Series optics are known for.Maven CRF.1 rangefinder display.

It features a quick access menu for easy, intuitive use and an auto black/red display to ensure visible readouts in a myriad of environmental conditions. With a 6x zoom on a 22mm objective lens, a ranging distance of 5 yards to 2,400 yards, and line-of-sight/angle compensation, the CRF.1 is a great choice for both rifle and archery enthusiasts.

“The CRF.1 allows us to fill a void in our product offering while providing customers a high-quality rangefinder at a heck of a price,” said Maven co-founder and head of design/marketing Brendon Weaver. “It has many of the same features as the premium RF.1 model and is a great option for anyone, whether they’re in the field or on the range.”

The innovative “Field/Forest” function allows users to select a range mode based on the environment to ensure the most accurate reading possible. “Field” mode acquires small, hard-to-hit targets and ignores larger objects in the background. Alternatively, “Forest” mode ranges objects behind trees, bushes, rain, snow or other obstructions.

With an MSRP of $295, the CRF.1 is tripod mountable and comes with a wrist strap, preinstalled CR2 battery and a double-layered microfiber storage bag.
