RX-1600i TBR-W

The good news. The range and speed of this rangefinder blew away the 700 yd Bushnell I currently have. Readout is super bright and clear. It feels very well built. Smaller than expected.*(Disregard this paragraph.)The bad news. My performance testing was short lived. The battery provided did not last through a second use. I literally watched the battery strength bars dwindle with each press of the button when I tried it the second time. I hope it’s just a crappy Chinese battery that prematurely went dead while on the shelf. After trying to find the rare, unobtainiom CR2 camera battery at 4 different local stores, I had to order online at the “company store” (Amazon).So I can’t say for sure if this rangefinder is gtg or not. It didn’t operate long enough to answer that. The little bit I did get to use it suggests it everything I wanted. If it performs well after a battery change, I will bump up the stars. C’mon Leupold, pony up for a freaking Duracell.If you are buying this for a hunt, do yourself a favor and order fresh CR2 batteries when you order the rangefinder. Toss the provided batteries.*Update- Not sure what to think. I got a new battery. A Duracell. After installation this rangefinder has worked like a champ. Just for grins I installed the provided “dead” battery in my old rangefinder. Showed 100% charge. So then I put that battery back in the Leupold rangefinder it came with and it also showed 100%. I can only conclude I had poor contact at first for some reason. Anyway the ranging performance of this thing is light years ahead of my old one. I changed my rating from 3 to 5 stars.

Used my RX-1600i TBR/w out to a reading range of 1240 on a tug boat going down the Columbia River using the LOS(line of sight!. Ranged it as it moved and gave me quick readings. It was a good reflective unit, but I liked the ease of use and the repeated range when Ranged one after another! Seems as if about 6.5 yards off a deer was as close at it wanted to read on BOW setting, which is great for me. The adjustment on the RED Targeting indicator is great for bright days or darker days or evenings. It's new, but is working great! Easy to Register at Leupold.com.

I’m very happy with this purchase. I did get a few readings that changed +/- 1 yard, but not surprising. Build quality is great and it’s very easy to use. If I lose this one, I’ll definitely buy it again!

I think for the money there isn’t a better rangefinder available. So far it has ranged really well at long distances for plinking (past 1800) ,and it constantly makes accurate reads up to 400 yards and down for hunting purposes when out in the field. I’d recommend this range finder for anyone hunting game out west.

No batteries came with it

Have hunted for years and never “needed” a range finder, getting into long distance, and figured it was time for a range finder, all I have ever ran is Leupold, this was the best all around I could find for the money. Leupold guaranteed, it is a very handy and awesome tool that won’t leave my side wether I’m in the woods or at a range, everything is clear and vivid, no malfunctions. Was in the single digits in temp and everything was great!

I purchased this rangefinder to replace my Leupold RX1000TBR. So far the 1600 works well. The issue I have with Leupold is there quality and customer support. The RX1000 was used on a farm to determine distances and was rarely out of the house. We use it to calculate fence lines etc. It's not used often but comes in handy when needed. I have never hunted with this unit or had it in the woods and it has never been exposed to harsh conditions. One day the reticle became very hard to see and was not existent in some area on the screen. I replaced the battery hoping this would solve the issue. It did not. I ordered a new RX1600 and sent the RX1000 in for repair. I misunderstood the warranty to be for life as are other Leupold products. The warranty is 2 years. When customer service contacted me they informed me they could not repair the unit and they would not replace it. They did offer me a discount on a new unit which is some percentage of list price and turns out to be close to retail. Really not much of a discount at all. I'm disappointed to say the least and will likely never purchase another Leupold product. I surely will never purchase another rangefinder from Leupold. There are other brands with great review and lifetime warranties. I bought Leupold because I believed in the Leupold brand, quality and customer commitment. I was wrong.

New purchase. Still in the testing stage. Accurate in my testing so far. Delivered as expected. Package was correct and secure in good shape. No damage. Fully working.2 year update. No issues. Works as expected. Very accurate.
