They make a great scope but forget the rangefindes.while the optics are clear they do not range a deer at 800yds .the best I,ve done is 587 yds.doesn,t range as fast or even more distance than my bushnell.
Cons: doesn't come close to advertized range
Would recommend: No

I purchased this because I wanted an 8x rangefinder, had the Leupold name, and figured it would be the quality of their scopes. The glass is what you would expect. The functionality of the device is what I could not get over. This think is much more difficult than what you would expect. My biggest gripe is as a bowhunter, if the rangefinder is in "Bow" mode, it will not register any distances over 60 yards. I don't have a good answer for this as to why they won't. I thought with their second release of the RX they would have gotten it right. I know that 60 yards is pushing it on my bow, but I would still like to range other things without having to Click Select, click over to Rifle, range the target over 60 yards, click back to bow. Why bother? I ended up selling this and going with Bushnell which was not the same glass, but easy to use. Click and read the number. Other note, if you cannot get to hold one first, go to http://www.leupold.com and download the instruction booklet. Make sure it is something you can live with before buying.
Pros: Clear Glass
Cons: Need to use it a lot to stay familiar, limited bow range
Would recommend: No

This is the second one I have owned. The first one I had for three days,couldn't get it to work,brought it back to the place I bought it from,they could not get it to work.Replaced with another one.It is now doing the same thing as the first.(compass won't work,rangefinder doesn't seem to read.)
Pros: lots of goodies
Cons: too hard to set up
Would recommend: No

Iv been a big leupold fan and love their scopes. The rangefinder not so much. Glass is good but performance is a real let down. Its a little slow to pick up some stuff and it just doesnt do as advertised. Iv picked up a fuel truck at 1498yds but in real hunting situations im lucky to get past 500 on anything smaller than a tree. And even then its a bit slow. Just wish it would do as advertised. I think they it will range deer sized targets out to 750yds that would be great but thats pushing it even for big trees. And as im a brush hunter there arent many of those.
Pros: lots of bells and whistles
Cons: Huge upset from leupold
Would recommend: Yes

I agree; this is a superior range finder. Although the instructions and features seem a little daunting at first, it is actually surprisingly easy to use after spending just a few minutes orienting yourself to it. Superb optics-- best in class!

This is without a doubt the finest and best quality product for the money that I can imagine. The 8x optics provide excellent visibility and surprisingly consistent range accuracy in various weather and light conditions.
Pros: Accuracy; Features; Exceptional qulaity
Cons: A little bit complicated
Would recommend: Yes
