I've got the Leupold RX II and while I'm a HUGE Leupold fan, I just can't recommend the thing. It's completely andunnecessarily complex especially for a bowhunter. The angled distance calculator is an excellent feature if you're stalking in hilly terrain but a treestand hunter doesn't need it. If I had it to do over I'd go with the Bushnell.The Leupold just started freaking out this week so it's headed back to the factory for repairs.
Make that times two. I'm a huge Leupold fan and I have the RXII also. As far as the RXII goes, I just can't quite seem to learn to like using it. It is too freakin' difficult to operate. Sometimes it won't range an object that is, without question, rangeable. I had a Bushnell before I got the Leupold, it never failed. I will be trading range finders this fall - Leupold out, Bushnell or Nikon in.
