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 ½-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.”

The RX-1500i also features a bow mode, which generates arrow drops out to 175 yards with a bow-specific setting. A Trophy Scale feature allows you to easily measure game in the field, and a high light transmission LCD display delivers exceptionally bright and clear images throughout the day. It can range out to 1,500 yards on reflective targets, and 1,200 yards on soft targets like trees.

The RX-1500i is 100 percent waterproof and extreme climate tested, ensuring the rugged reliability that Leupold products are known for.
