I used mine for an Idaho elk hunt, easily ranged out to 850+ yards on trees and brush, could have done the full 1000 if I had tried. I love the compact size and the red LED display is easily changed from dim dawn'dusk setings to bright for mid-day use. The optics are good enought to replace my treestand binos, and transmit lighter better than my 10x42 Nikons, excellent glass. The case is magnetic and small, just a bit hard to carry where you can get the rangefinder out and back in with one hand. Had a magnetic closure which is great.

I upgraded from a previous model Leupold. The LED display is great to range with in the dark. I killed an ell right at dark and was able to range back to my shooting position in the dark and quickly locate my animal. The longer ranging distance is a big plus in places like Nevada when long shots are common; 350 yards in my case. I highly recommend them.

As an aircraft mechanic I am constantly using tools and equipment that is made to perfection and made to perform flawlessly in a non-forgiving environment time after time. The Leupold RX-1000i TBR with DNA lives up to these standards without exception. Durability; accuracy; visual clarity; detailed information and especially specific usabilty to the particular weapon you may be using is amazing. In the rush to participate in as many hunting days as possible I accidentally ordered two of these units. I was very tempted to keep both but long term unemployment required that I send one back, regretfully. You will not be disappointed and will find personal satisfaction in the use and ownership of this fine rangefinder. Customer service at Optics Planet was also exceptional. Sean Meagher.

I really like using my rangefinder! It is a little slow and does have trouble getting a range on far objects but its not bad. I owned a Leica 1200 but it doesnt have the TBR/ARC function which makes this a less expensive more accurate range finder for my bow/gun hunting needs!
