Purchased this in March 2019 and had a chance to use it out to known distances up to 3000 yards. The distances were done with a surveying setup. The RX2800 performed very well. We had several rangefinders out there and they all read something different, most were very close at the extended ranges. 2000 yards and in, this thing was spot on. Not saying it wasn't on past 2000 yards it was just very hard to get a consistent reading, even on a tripod. Lighting conditions have some input on that as well. I really like it though, I think it's fantastic for the money.

Just a note..... uses the CR123 battery not the CR2.

Been using the 1,000 model for 10+ years. Only thing I’m not as happy with is the force needed to get the ranging button to engage. Last model was just a gentle push, this one take 2-3x the force to engage. Can throw you off your target at longer ranges unless using 2 hands.

Fast read out in different settings display easily seen
October 17, 2023
The laser read out is fast. I used it on an elk hunt and just holding it and not using anything to stabilize me I got readings out to 1100 yards really quick. Others have said the display fades or is hard to read in bright light. I did not have that problem. I also used it in thick timber areas and had no problem hitting different places through the thick trees and got accurate readings.
I am not using the ballistic charts or using the recommended hold over that is built in. I have a Leupold CDS scope so I just need to know the distance.
Only con I find is there is no attached belt clip on the outside of the unit so now I have to buy a pouch to mount onto my bino harness. My Vortex range finder had a belt clip so I just clipped it to my bino harness.
Not sure why you would buy any other range finder unless you need to shoot further than 1500 yards. Excellent range finder.

Haven't used the rangefinder in the field yet but love it so far. It's bad ass. There are 25 different "dope" settings for the ballistics of your rifle. Has settings for MOA, MIL, and trig whichever you prefer. Can't wait to learn and use this new tool. Exactly what I was looking for!

I love this rangefinder. Works great! Great features. Leupold quality. I would suggest this for a Rifle Rangefinder!

This thing is simply amazing. Appears to be right on with my milling.

I've used the 1000 model for 12 years and just loved it but it is starting to act up so I replaced it with this model. It is even better and faster and ranges further. I expect it will last at least as long as the last one. I love Leupold products.

I have not had time to use all options but l will continue to advance.

This unit has met my needs for reliable ranging on discreet targets and landforms beyond 1000 yards. I've had good return from a grassy hill side at 1600 yards. I've not tried for greater distances yet. The horizontal distance calculation for ballistics input only works to 800 yards, so when shooting on an incline beyond that range one needs to calculate from LOS.

I was able to range out to 1400yds off hand on a 24" plate. Still a new tool and I'm still playing with it. The red display will be nice on overcast days and at dusk but it is very hard to read on bright sunny days and might be an issue. It would be nice if you could choose between black and red display. It was recommended by a shooting instructor who's not sponsored by them.
