Introduction

Congratulations! You have purchased a Leupold RXSeries digital laser rangefinder that has been designed by Leupold’s engineers and designers to be the best rangefinder on the market and to provide you with years of solid performance in the field. Following are detailed instructions regarding the proper use and employment of your RX Series rangefinder. To ensure top performance for the life of the product, please read these instructions before operating your RX-I, RX-II, RX-III, or RX-IV.

Your new Leupold RX Series digital laser rangefinder is a revolutionary, rangefinding device that incorporates advanced digital electronics with state-of- the-art ballistic algorithms. True Ballistic Rangealgorithms were developed by the same engineers who developed Sierra Infinity® Exterior Ballistics Software and who helped develop navigation and guidance systems for ICBMs and other missiles with far more demanding trajectory requirements than a hunting bullet. Other useful features that are included are an inclinometer, thermometer, compass, and the Match 13Reticle System, but the truly

innovative and unique feature is True Ballistic Range (TBR), which is available on RX-II, RX-III, and RX-IV models.

True Ballistic Range (TBR) is a marriage of laser ranging, inclinometer, and an advanced computerized ballistics program. The result is distance measuring precise within a yard, no matter the angle at which the laser is fired. Bullets and arrows travel in a ballistic arc, yet conventional rangefinders only provide a linear distance to your target. True Ballistic Range delivers the ballistically equivalent range to the target, accounting for the effects of inclines (either up or down) on the path of your bullet or arrow. Other features that are provided for firearms are outputs that display either MOA adjustments, or inches/ centimeters of holdover at that specific distance. True Ballistic Range eliminates any potentially significant error, and provides a precise range for your aiming calculations. TBR is matched to each of seven firearm ballistic groups and three archery ballistic groups, allowing use with most popular firearms and bows.

The ranging accuracy of all Leupold RX Series rangefinders is +/- one yard/meter. The maximum range of the unit depends on the reflectivity of the target (as do all rangefinders). Below is a reference table listing the ranges of the various models under different conditions: (see page below)

Surface texture, color, size and shape of the target all affect the reflectivity, which in turn affects the maximum range of the instrument, to some degree. As a rule of thumb, brightly colored targets are much more reflective than darker targets. Tan game coats are more reflective (and thus provide a more solid reading) than a black roof. A shiny surface is more reflective than a dull surface. Smaller targets are more difficult to range than larger targets. Light conditions, haze, fog, rain, and other environmental conditions can all affect ranging performance. Any factor which degrades air clarity is a negative to making the rangefinder work to the longest practical distances.

The RX-I and RX-II have two buttons: Power and Mode. The RX-III and RX-IV have three buttons: Power, Mode, and Set.

When you initially push the Power button, the unit is ready for scanning. When you first press the Mode button, the Quick Set Rotary Menuis prepared for navigation. To set or activate a function, you must advance the mode selector to that function by pressing the Mode button until that function is flashing by itself. To lock in that function, press the Set button if using a RX-III or RX-IV; press the Power button if using a RX-I or RX-II.

NOTE: Activating certain modes automatically disables other modes. For example, 1st Target and Last Target Mode work in an opposite way, so when one is activated the other is automatically turned off to ensure proper ranging function. Long Range and Rain Mode can be on at the same time.

FUNCTION 1: LONG RANGE MODE

This mode is used when you want the rangefinder to range only those items beyond 150 yards. If you are ranging targets closer than 150 yards, turn the Long Range Mode off.

FUNCTION 2: RAIN MODE

Leupold Rx 2 Rangefinder Manual

The Rain Mode is used in rainy conditions and screens out false returns from raindrops or other atmospheric interference to provide an accurate range.

FUNCTION 3: 1ST TARGET MODE

1st Target Mode is used to display the range to the closest object when more than one object may be hit by the beam. Multiple objects will often return an average distance. 1st Target Mode ensures an accurate reading on the closest object.

Last Target Mode is automatically disabled while 1st Target

Mode is activated.

FUNCTION 4: LAST TARGET MODE

This mode is used to find the distance of the farthest object when more than one object may be read. Multiple objects will often return an average distance. Last Target Mode ensures an accurate reading on the farthest object.

1st Target Mode is automatically disabled while Last Target Mode is activated.

FUNCTION 5: METER OUTPUT

This mode displays both LOS (Line of Sight) and TBR ranges in meters, and will disable readings in yards or feet. TBR is displayed with one decimal place resolution in large numbers just above the reticle, LOS is displayed in small numbers above the angle readout (just below and to the right of the reticle).

FUNCTION 6: FEET OUTPUT

This mode displays both LOS (Line of Sight) and TBR ranges in feet, and will disable readings in yards or meters. TBR is displayed with one decimal place resolution in large numbers just above the reticle, LOS is displayed in small numbers above the angle readout (just below and to the right of the reticle).

FUNCTION 7: YARDS OUTPUT

Reviews for Leupold RX-II Rangefinder
1. Overall I am happy with the RXII Rangefinder, as it does give the line of sight distance and the point of aim distance at the same time. Out to 300 yards this will not change enough for the magnum calibers to honestly mattert. I do wish I would have looked a bit harder to find a rangefinder that is easier to see in low light. Also the unit itself has a ton of features for bow and rifle hunters. Too many in my opinion. As a person that is 'technically challenged', prefer to aquire a target and get the range. Never claimed to be an electronic guru, and it is a bit confusing to get the proper settings. The information on the website for the settings for Bullet placement (BPX) is very limited in the choice of loads, but with a bit of long range trial and error it can be figured out. Would not want to by this a few days BEFORE the hunt for sure.
Just a few things I would look for if wanting a range finder for rifle shooting. The claimed distance is 700 yards... That is for reflective targets. I found it fairly accurate out to 500 yards on paper targets and about 340 on solid dark objects. In this case an angus bull standing in the pasture. have not tried the rain mode.. Yes, worth $200, but would prefer to pay a bit more and get more range, less features and something easier to see in low light.
2. I both bow and rifle hunt. The Leupold RX-II Rangefinder has 3 bow modes with with true range. It also has several rifle combined with cal. functions. Both bow and rifle have the true range. The Leupold RX-II Rangefinder is easy to use and easy to figure out. It comes with both a manual and the pouch has a snap or d-ring for attaching to your hydration pak. comes in handy. I bought this product brand new still in a sealed box, for $200.40. That's with shipping. This is a 6x magnification tool. All in all you can spend more if you need more. This fills the bill for me. I think if you tool up on a budget and you want quality, this is the rangefinder for you. You can find them for 200-229$ if you shop around.
3. I purchased for Antelope hunt in Wyoming. First one did not work right and was sent back for repair after the hunt. A new one was sent by Leupold. I find it very difficult to set up and get the right ballistic group. Too many features. Does not measure game out beyond about 300 yd. With a fast caliber sighted in for 200 yd I can hold on and get my game at that range. Not very useful. A Rangefinder is needed for 350+ yards and this one falls down at that range. Save your money and pay for a high quality like Leica that actually works at 400 yd on game. The side of a barn isn't a useful object to be able to range. Plus, this isn't even made by Leupold. It is a Chinese import. Bad move Leupold as it falls below their usual high standards. Bean counters must be in
charge there instead of people who actually hunt.
4. As a rule I purchase Leupold optics. I purchased this compact range finder because I wanted a compact to hunt with this fall. I already have another range finder with a 800 yard capability. This was a 750 yard and should be almost equal. It is not. I will continue to practice with this new one before I consider it to be 1/2 the other. It will not read out the distances tht the other range finder does in test side by side. To say I was disappointed would be an under statement.
