Product Features
|
The True Ballistic Range feature with scan mode continuously updates the range as you track a target. It can scan an area and factors environment and rifle or bow ballistics to give you accurate ranging information. The maximum reflective range is an impressive 1,000 yards. The compact, lightweight body is made from a weatherproof bilet of solid aluminum. Use the inclinometer to adjust for altitude and the seven rifle settings and three bow settings will cover all the bases. A newly redesigned Quick Set Menu utilizes on-screen prompts for exceptionally intuitive use in the field. The fold-down rubber eyecup is comfortable for eyeglass wearers and the eyepiece provides fast-focus ability with precision clicks. The battery power indicator will let you know when it's time to change the easy-to-find CR2 lithium camera battery. The rangefinder measures 3.8 x 2.8 x 1.3 inches (LxWxH) and is backed by a 2-year warranty.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Good device, a couple of weaknesses.,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Leupold RX-1000 TBR Digital Laser Rangefinder (Sports)
Very good device. I live over a compact coastal canyon and wanted a rangefinder to help me understand distances to prominent features in the near to middle distance -- high points of knolls, junctions of hiking trails, rock outcroppings, things like that. The device is consistent with distances that I can scale out of satellite images. Repeated ranging of the same target leads me to believe that the device is accurate within about one percent at longer distances. At close distances (under 20-25 yards) a trained eye can do as well as the device -- but then nobody buys a 1000-yard hunting rangefinder to measure short distances. There are better tools for that kind of distance evaluation.
I have actually secured downhill line-of-sight range readings in excess of 1000 yards (but never above 1100); this has occurred only when a very light distant object is ranged before dawn or at dusk. Reliable mid-day or bright-sky ranging seems to have a 700 yard limit. This device is better at ranging distant dark foliage than I thought it would be, returning credible measurements in the 800-900 yard range in low-light situations. The display is a little annoying, with the familiar seven-bar field used to display both numerals and a mix of upper-lower case numbers. There can be moments of confusion when one tries to puzzle out whether the display is showing a measured range or a system label. The display is bright (too bright in low-light levels, but that can be adjusted in the device's unintuitive menu system). Though faint in bright light, the locator cross and read-out can still be seen. The documentation is flat-out dreadful. Surely someone at Leupold has enough gifts as a technical writer to put together a user's guide that informs rather than mystifies. That person should be relived of all other duties for a few days so he/she can produce an instruction manual that is the equal of the tool it seeks to serve. Even a few "screen shots" showing the changes to expect as buttons are pushed would help. I eventually had to learn proper use of the device through trial and error. It took a while. The device has a connector for software updates. I don't know if some of the device's display and menu-structure weaknesses can be improved through software, but if they can I encourage Leupold to get right on it. This device is too good as it is not to receive the small improvements needed to make it excellent.

Optics are super sharp especially in low light, very accurate and compact, magnetic flap on pouch noisy if not careful, red rectical is bright with three levels but a little hard to see in bright conditions. Best rangefinder for the money!

Good rangefinder. Not fully waterproof. It is "weather resistant". I sent an email to Leupold to find out what that means. I was told that rain won't hurt it but if you drop it in a stream would be bad. I also own an RX-iv boone and crockett edition. It seems to range out to 1500 yards easier, so you can get an idea of how far away that distant hill is. The Rx-iv has a black display which is very hard to read when it is dim out, right at first light. The RX-1000 is surprisingly bright, and if you are shooting tactically and need a line of sight distance and an elevation on one screen this will do that for you. That is why I got this one after buying the boone and crocket rx-iv model. Overall very satisfied. If it was waterproof would have given five stars. Very small and compact. I wear glasses and the eye relief with the cup folded back is great.
