Alpen Optics Apex XP 10x42 LRF

• 10x42 binocular and rangefinder in one: This model combines observation and distance measurement in a single unit, so hunters and outdoor users can glass and range without switching devices or losing time on moving targets.
• Long-distance laser measurement: With a maximum rangefinder range of 2286.00 m and +/- 1 m accuracy, it supports more confident distance checks across open ground, treelines, and uneven terrain.
• Bright, efficient optics: The Fully Multicoated lenses, 95 % light transmission, and 4.20 mm exit pupil help maintain a clear, usable image in low light, which matters most at dawn and dusk.
• Field-ready weather protection: A magnesium housing, nitrogen filling, and waterproof, fogproof construction help the binocular stay reliable in rain, cold mornings, and rapid temperature changes.
• Practical viewing comfort: The central focusing system and diopter adjustment on both eye-pieces make it easier to fine-tune the image for extended observation sessions in the field.

About the Alpen Optics Apex XP Series

Alpen Optics Apex XP sits above the standard Apex line and is aimed at users who want a more capable binocular for hunting, birding, long-range observation, and general outdoor use. The series is built around extra-low-dispersion glass and BaK-4 prisms, a combination chosen to improve image definition, contrast, and color control when viewing fine detail at distance. Alpen Optics also equips the range with PXA phase coatings and HR metallic prism coatings, helping the binoculars make better use of available light and maintain a cleaner, more precise image.

Within the lineup, the Apex XP family includes several 42 mm and 56 mm configurations, including a 10x42 ED model with a laser rangefinder. Across the series, the design emphasis is practical rather than bulky: weather-sealed construction, waterproof housings, and nitrogen-purged internals for resistance to internal fogging. That makes the series a strong fit for users who spend long hours outdoors and need one binocular platform that can move between woodland hunting, open-country glassing, and general observation without becoming overly specialized.

About the Alpen Optics Apex XP 10x42 LRF

The Alpen Optics Apex XP 10x42 LRF is built for users who need the reach of a 10.00 x binocular and the convenience of an integrated laser rangefinder in the same instrument. That combination is especially useful for hunting and field observation, where switching between binoculars and a separate rangefinder can cost time and break concentration. The 42.00 mm objective size keeps the binocular portable enough for regular carry while still providing a useful balance of brightness and detail. With a 110.00 m/1000m field of view, it remains practical for scanning wider areas before settling on a specific subject for ranging.

The rangefinding system extends the binocular’s role beyond observation. A maximum range of 2286.00 m, internal display, scan mode, and an inclinometer make it suitable for reading distance continuously and accounting for angle in hilly terrain. Even without onboard ballistic software, that information is valuable for shot planning and route assessment. Optically, the 95 % light transmission and Fully Multicoated lenses support a bright image, while the 4.20 mm exit pupil helps maintain viewing comfort in changing light.

Mechanically, the binocular is designed for field use rather than occasional casual viewing. Its magnesium body keeps weight under control at 926.00 g, and the waterproof, fogproof, nitrogen-filled construction helps preserve reliability in wet weather and cold starts. The central focusing system speeds up target acquisition, and the diopter setting on both eye-pieces allows more individual adjustment than a simpler single-side arrangement.

About Alpen Optics

Alpen Optics was founded by Tim Gardner in December 1996, and the company introduced its first products in 1997. Its history identifies Rancho Cucamonga, California as headquarters, and the brand focuses on sporting optics such as binoculars, spotting scopes, riflescopes, and thermal devices. In 2018, Explore Scientific acquired Alpen Optics’ trademarks and designs, continuing the brand within a broader optics portfolio.

Within binoculars, Alpen Optics is known for product families such as Apex XP, Teton, and Rainier. The company’s binocular design approach centers on practical optical improvements, including BaK-4 prisms, PXA phase coating, and HR metallic coatings in the Apex range, while Rainier models combine ED glass with UBX multilayer coating. That makes Alpen Optics a specialist brand aimed at hunters and outdoor users who want purpose-built observation tools rather than general consumer electronics.
