For the first time in optics history, rifle and
bow hunters can improve long-range shooting accuracy by determining the actual
ballistic range to their target with a digital laser rangefinder - Leupold's new
RX Series rangefinder.
The series includes RX-I, RX-II, RX-III and
RX-IV models, all of which offer multiple, customizable functions not found in
other rangefinders, past or present. For example, RX can be tailored according
to different weather conditions, terrain or game.
"Designed specifically for hunters, our new RX
Series is a significant advancement in digital laser rangefinder function and
performance," said Mike Slack, Leupold's marketing communications manager. "The
days when rangefinders served only as a glorified tape measure are gone. RX is a
?smart' rangefinder that can be customized based on specific hunting situations
and needs, to provide more accuracy potential than ever before. This will result
in more ethical shots and cleaner kills, whether you're a bow hunter or a rifle
hunter shooting at big game at 300 yards or prairie dogs at 800 yards." Each of the four RX models offers Leupold's
exclusive Match 13 Reticle System.
The Match 13 Reticle System gives hunters
the capability of selecting a reticle according to the type of terrain and game.
Reticle choices include Duplex, Bracket Circle Duplex, Bracket Square Duplex,
Bracket Circle, Bracket Square, German #4 and the new Plus Point. Ideal for
varmints and small targets, Plus Point is available with each of the other reticles for added accuracy in pinpointing a target.
Additional customizable features of RX include
Leupold's advanced Quick Set Rotary Menu™, specially designed to make the
rangefinder easy to use in all field conditions and to provide fast access to a
number of different performance modes. Multiple environmental modes can be
selected and used in combination with other modes to help deal with various
field conditions and hunting situations.
The Quick Set Rotary Menu in the RX-II, RX-III
and RX-IV models includes Long Range Mode; Rain Mode; 1st Target Mode; Last
Target Mode; distance output in meters, feet or yards; line of sight output;
temperature readings in Celsius or Fahrenheit; digital compass mode (RX-IV
only); declination angle output which corrects the usual compass error between
magnetic north and true north (RX-IV only); True Ballistic Range output; bow
ballistic group; ballistic group characters; and Match 13 Reticle System. The
RX-IV's precision magnetic inductor compass is designed to maintain high
accuracy on inclines as well as flat ground.
Each model features multicoated optics for a
crisp, bright sight picture; clicking fast-focus eyepiece for quick adjustments;
rubber body armor; and rugged, weatherproof (RX-I and RX-II) / waterproof
(RX-III and RX-IV) construction. RX controls are designed for one-hand operation
so hunters can easily use the rangefinder in the field. A fold-down rubber
eyecup accommodates users with or without eyeglasses.
The RX-I and RX-II models are accurate to 750
yards (685.8 meters). Accuracy range for the RX-III and RX-IV models is 1,200
yards (1,097.3 meters) and 1,500 yards (1,371.6 meters) respectively. RX-I and
RX-II models have 6x monocular magnification, while the RX-III and RX-IV models
offer 8x monocular magnification. Lightweight and compact, the RX-I and RX-II
weigh 6.8 ounces (193 grams) and measure 4.2 inches (106.7 mm) in length.
RX-III and RX-IV models weigh 12 ounces (340
grams) and are 4.8 inches (121.9 mm) long. RX-I and RX-III come in a black
finish, while RX-II and RV-IV sport a black and grey finish. RX-II is also
available in Mossy Oak Obsession camo, while RX-IV is available in Mossy Oak®
Brush™ camo. A carrying case comes with each model. |
