Leupold RX1000 TBR Range Finders

[EOD350]

Anyone have any experience with the Leupold RX1000 TBR with DNA range finder? They seem like a good product and they do make good scopes. I have a hard time swallowing the $800.00 price tag and the Vectronix R/F's are way beyond what I need. I do however need or would prefer a R/F that gets out to a grand. Thanks for the responses.

they f...in suck I have a older model it will not read in bright sun light in other conditions you'll be lucky to hit 500 yrds. if money is tight I suggest bushnell 1600. otherwise Vectronix Terrapin

I second what tacguns said. Have used a couple different Leupold range finders, the last was a RX1000i. 500 is the realistic max I could get on most objects, with 450 the longest I was ever able to get on a deer. Ranging steel painted targets at Tiger Valley I wasn't able to get anything past about 400 while the guys next to me with bushnells were hitting everything out past 800 with ease. I would definitely look at another option.

FWIW, I sold my Leupold range finder when I sold my SPR (concept). It was good for .223 ranges, but not .308. I'm replacing it with a Bushy 1600 and buying it from Liberty Optics.

It seems all that gets recommended these days are bushnell and vectronix. The others better step up their game I guess.

Don't forget Leica. I have the 1,000yd model and have gotten readings well past that. It' is very reliable and accurate.

Ahh yes. I've played around with the HDBs and it ranged beyond 1k but only gave a ballistics solution out to 800. But as a range finder it was great.
