BEAVERTON, Ore. — Leupold & Stevens, Inc., provider of the world’s most rugged, lightweight, and clear sport optics, is pleased to announce the launch of its new RX-1500i TBR/W Laser Rangefinder, which enters the market as one of the most versatile, feature-rich rangefinders in its class.

With 1?2-yard accuracy, 6x magnification and Leupold’s True Ballistic Range/Wind (TBW/W) technology, the RX-1500i TBR/W will give you the confidence you need, shot after shot. It’s packed with features in a unit that’s as versatile as it is compact.

The RX-1500i is equipped with Leupold’s proprietary DNA ranging engine for lightning-fast accuracy. The TBR/W feature uses ballistically calculated ranges to keep you on target even when on the most extreme uphill and downhill shots. Other rangefinders use basic trigonometry to calculate a straight-line horizontal distance, meaning they may not produce a truly accurate range to your target. The wind feature provides 10 mph full value wind hold to help you calculate a hold value.

“If you’re going to be hunting or shooting in elevated terrain, you’re going to need a rangefinder that can calculate ballistic solutions, and fast,” said Eric Overstreet, Product Line Manager for Leupold & Stevens, Inc. “The RX-1500i TBW/W does that and more–delivering an incredible value within its class.” Read more
