Choose the QRF-4500 if you need a compact, lightweight rail mounted laser rangefinder that outputs precise range and coordinates to an external ballistic system or C2 platform. It is the cleaner option for operators who already have ballistic solutions integrated elsewhere in their setup.
Choose the QRF-4500S-BC if you need an all-in-one solution with an integrated ballistic computer, weather station, and dual laser aiming system. It removes the need for a separate ballistic device and is the better choice for direct engagement and target designation roles where first-round hit solutions are required from a single unit.
Frequently Asked Questions
The QRF-4500 is a ranging and coordinate module that outputs data to external ballistic computers and C2 systems. The QRF-4500S-BC adds a built-in ballistic computer with 20 profiles, an integrated weather station, dual laser aiming, and Bluetooth connectivity, making it a self-contained targeting solution that does not require a separate ballistic device.
Yes. Both models mount on Picatinny (MIL-STD-1913) and Weaver rails for co-mounting alongside day scopes, night vision devices, and thermal imagers without blocking host optic controls.
Yes. Both models use a 1550 nm Class 1 laser that is eye-safe for training environments and professional use without additional eye protection requirements for the operator or nearby personnel.
