Leupold Rangefinders

[stinky]

I'm looking at rangefinders on Ebay...Bushnell 1000s, and 1200s, and Nikon Monarch 800s, and lately Leupolds. There were some Milletts that I should have jumped on but didn't.

I notice some Leupold RX-I and RX-II rfs on ebay. But, they are not listed on the Leopold website. What are they and how far do they work.

I had a Bushnell 450, but I couldn't hardly get it to work past 222, unless it was on a rock wall, or etc. If I can get one to work to 400, or so, I'd be happy.

Thoughts?

Get the Leica 1200 Range finder and never look back...

The reviews I've seen on the Leupolds have been (surprisingly) lukewarm.

"The reviews I've seen on the Leupolds have been (surprisingly) lukewarm."

That's because Leupold manufactures optical equipment and a rangefinder is mainly an electronic device. Leupold might make the case and lenses and farm out the electronics. Or they (more likely) slap their name on a product that was built entirely by someone else. Either way, Leupold probably has little to do with the design or construction of the electronics beyond specifying a price point.
