Leupold RX-650 (120464) Micro Laser Rangefinder
- This is an amazing tool. Even though it is rated for 650 yards.
- This product is every bit worth the money. Good quality piece of equipment.
- Best rangefinder I have ever owned. Good accurate readings. Good clear review. Small and easy tote.
- This range finder is awesome and very accurate.
- The accuracy is very good but getting it to pick up small targets like pins is very tough.
- The only down side is non reflective objects at a great distance it can't read.
Nikon ACULON (8397) AL11 Laser Rangefinder

What customers say about "Size & Weight"
Leupold RX-650 (120464) Micro Laser Rangefinder
- I was surprised how small it is compared to my older unit.
- Size is just right for my large hands.
- Very handy for me, light weigt and good design
- Such a good size, very comfortable.
Nikon ACULON (8397) AL11 Laser Rangefinder
- For reason of light weight, I love how easy it is to pack and maveuver.
- Very light and easy to carry. Its very important!
- Accurate and lightweight. I attached the included case to the side of my binocular harness and it works great.
- The size really shocked me as it is so compact, it is easy to keep still, very easy controls, higtly recommeded
- Due to it's light weight and compact size, holding it steady on small objects past 200 yards can be literally shaky.
- Lightweight and small which is nice but if you have regular sized hands or larger it's hard to hold the small finder steady.

What customers say about "Features"
Leupold RX-650 (120464) Micro Laser Rangefinder
- It worked great ranging deer at 400 to 500 yards with no problems. Quick and easy to use.
- All functions of the range finder functioned flawlessly.
- Great product and the rang finder is holding up to all the crazy weather in my state hot, cold, and rainy.
- Very accurate out to 600 yards as measured by a professional friend of mine who does surveying.
- The optics of this item are NOT precise enough to pick up a golf flagstick.
- The rubber grip on top is soft but doesn't provide much traction.
Nikon ACULON (8397) AL11 Laser Rangefinder
- The LCD overlay over an optical gives you a much clearer image than those that give you a screen to see through.
- The nylon case is well made and I found it extremely useful when worn on the belt.
- It is clear, crisp, easy to use, accurate and locked on to everything I ranged.
- It ranges super quick with the click of a button, and I used it in pretty low light while hunting and it still worked well.
- It would be helpful if it had some kind of image stabilization.
- The display is very legible, but is non-illuminated, it only shows crosshairs, distance, and battery life.
