Does anyone know if this range finder does horizontal compensation, or does this unit only do (LOS) line of sight? Thats an important feature to have if you want or expect to be shooting from positions other than just a flat range.

One does and one does not... There are two different ones. One I believe has the TBA in the model number, and it is a bit more expensive than the one without. The TBA model does compensate for elevation. But, its primarily used for bow hunting in a tree stand. I don't know how accurate it would be in a rifle application at long distances as mine has only been used to bow hunt.

This adjustment is to help remove the peralex effect. It also can be use as a range find. That scope is a 400yds scope. U cant zero it for less than 100 yds

I asked this same question to Leupold. I'm waiting on an answer. According to their website, all RX series rangefinders have TBR which is angle compensation. I just don't think it gives you a seperate readout. Between the answers here and the description of the RX series on their website, I had to ask to be sure before ordering.

You can aim it wherever you want..........IF YOURS WORKS. Mine didn't, and after making one try to take care of the problem, which didn't take care of the problem, the manufacturer basically said "Too bad for you" Mine is now somewhere in a landfill outside of Phoenix. It worked for approx 4 months.

You'll probably have difficulty getting readings. The pin seeker function isn't that accurate. I usually need to estimate what I expect to match the correct yardage. It's more expensive, but the Bushnell Jolt would work better for you. It vibrates when it locks on to the pin. Have two playing partners that use this and works great.

The antenna is mildly directional. I currently use two receivers, one on the first floor (kitchen) and one on the second floor (bedroom). The transmitting antenna is on the 2nd floor, in a different bedroom. In my situation, both receivers are on a similar azimuth angle so I can adequately receive at both locations without re-aligning the antenna, by simply "pointing" between the two receivers. If your situation is very different from this, then I wouldn't expect it to work very well, unless one of the receivers is very close. At closer distances, the antenna pointing is less critical.

It will vary a little from scope to scope due to manufacturing variations. It really isn't important as to accuracy that they be exactly the same. The main thing is that the rifle itself is level (not canted). What I do is (using little bubble levels such as Wheeler sells) get my rifle perfectly level and then get my horizontal reticle roughly level to match (by sighting it on a target line that you know is level). Again, the most important thing by far is that the rifle is level.

Then you need to use a bore laser in doors so you can see it. Haven't had a low but AR types are generally high. Matt I have a few different Bushnell, red dots, range finders, and this. They don't make the greatest products in the world. They do have good cust. Service Email or call.

It depends on how and under what circumstances you plan to use the spotting scope. I have found that when sighting in your rifle or if you are road hunting in a vehicle and using a scope window mount, the straight version tends to works better. If you are "spot & stalk" hunting, and looking for animals up the sides of mountains and/or hills, the angled version is much superior and more practical.

Depends on how far your comfortable taking a shot. The range finder is accurate to within a few yards. I measured it against known distances. For me I will not taken a shot longer than 300 yards.

The scope arrived with the wrong red dot fast fire III. I called Amazon and they corrected the problem on the spot and I had it in two days. I mounted the unit and headed to the range. The Burris XTR works great, zeroed in 4 rounds and is in use for my 3-gun competitions. I have shaved off all kinds of time getting on target quickly. Hope this works for you and good luck. MRH

I found that the red dot does not stay true... More of a vertical line...and big error as you move... I was going to return mine but for the $$$ I let my kids use it ..

Hello,This would be a good unit for ranging without a laser. With some practice you should be able to range from point blank to hundreds of yards. -Derek

No, This range finder does not adjust ranges while you scan targets. You have to point to your target and hold the range button for a short time. It then calculates the range. If you scanned targets and they had different ranges I don't see how you would know at what point it calculated the range. The range is not instant and does not change if you move from target unless you recalculate it. Hope that makes sense.

It would only give you the distance from the device itself to the target, or direct line of sight distance. It doesn't calculate "drop" from a higher vantage point.

its not a red dot range finder like on the golf coarse its a scale range finder where you do a formula. there is a scale inprinted inside, on the top is a light button, but they are nice.

No, as stated in the other answers BUT; the scope does compensate for shooting uphill or downhill! That is a feature often not well known.
