How far is it?
Ok I have to admit it, I have been lazy, I have
not practiced enough and now I am struggling to
estimate some reference points on the hunting
range. I am repeating myself that once you learn
how to judge distance you never forget … maybe.
Now sitting on my favorite tree I am fighting
with myself is that tree at 20 or 25 yards? …
The tree may be bigger than I think, …perhaps it
just appears closer… All of sudden I wonder if
my negligence will put the shot at risk.
Not today! I reach for my pocket and here it
comes: a brand new Leupold RX II rangefinder
this technological marvel will help me take all
the references I need downrange in a few seconds
and with pinpoint accuracy.
I am sort of fan of arrow placed with surgical
precision and for this reason I need to estimate
distance precisely. No one is good at estimating
distance, especially in unfamiliar terrain with
odd, changing illumination. I also hate to spend
hours measuring reference points around my
hunting spot. These are the reasons why I
deserved a rangefinder and, believe me, you
deserve one too.
The Leupold RX II is a digital laser
rangefinder that comes loaded with state of the
art features.
Packaging
The Leupold RX II is packaged in a heavy
cardboard box that contains:
-
RXII Rangefinder unit , finished in Mossy
Oak Obsession
-
Panasonic CR2 Lithium battery
-
Cordura camo carry case
-
Product registration card
-
Operating instructions booklet
-
RX quick reference card
-
Lanyard
-
Silica gel bag
The product shows its class right from the box:
black satin with gold lettering, it is clearly a
high end product, it gives you a feeling of
“quality”.
Once you open the box the quality feeling
continues but you will be amazed to attention to
detail too:
the camo cordura case, for example, has both a
belt loop and swiveling hook to attach it to you
backpack, the flap closure has no noisy Velcro
but uses an elastic loop with a retention hook.
Ever struggled to fit a lanyard into its seat ?
at Leupold probably someone did and found a
simple solution : a tear away plastic leader
that will help you doing the job in a couple of
seconds.
