Halo Optic Rangefinders

About Halo Optics

Halo Optics operates as a premium brand under GSM Outdoors, specializing in laser rangefinder technology for hunting and shooting sports.

The company has built its reputation on a philosophy of blazing its own path rather than following industry trends.

Their innovative design process literally started with a lump of clay, with engineers holding it to understand finger pressure points and natural grip contours.

This unique approach has made Halo Optics a leader in combining superior ergonomics with innovative mechanics for precision ranging technology.

Today, the company continues to provide hunters and shooters with rangefinders that look, perform, and feel different than anything else on the market.
