Default Rxii

If the RXIII is anything like the RXII, dont get it. I am very disappointed in my RXII. Me and my hunting buddies all have different range finders. We will all stand at a certain distance away from our block target, and see if everybodys range finders read the same distance. Everybody body elses picks up the target, mine wont. It will pick work on a tree, or building, or the ground, if im in a tree, but it wont pick up my target.

The laser range finder is becoming an increasingly vital component of high precision targeting engagements for the individual soldier. The precise and accurate range-to-target information is an essential variable in the fire control solution of today’s sophisticated weapons. This range information is readily provided by the laser range finder, however, current fielded laser range finders are bulky, heavy, difficult to mount onto weapons, eye hazards and very expensive. The US Army CECOM RDEC NVESD is addressing these laser range finder issues in the development of a Micro-Laser Range Finder (mLRF). The mLRF is being developed for the individual soldier, with his special needs a top priority.

The mLRF specifications for system physical characteristics requires a weight, with batteries, to be less than 1.25 pounds, a volume of less than 1.75" x 1.5" x 4", a simplified mode-select operation, and a provision for mounting to a weapon platform. The mLRF specifications for system performance characteristics requires four (4) range measurements per minute, +/- 1 meter or yard range resolution, a minimum range measure of 25 meters, and range performance in excess of 1500 meters to a 2.3 meter x 2.3 meter target. The mLRF’s output wavelength will be 1.5 microns and will be Class I eye safe.

You'll find the Leupold to be a very good LRF! Personally I'm a fan of the Leica LRF but I've tested the Leupold models and found they are a decent mid-range LRF.
