Leupold & Stevens, Inc., provider of the world’s most rugged, lightweight, and clear riflescopes, is pleased to announce that its RX-5000 TBR/W Laser Rangefinder was named as “Editor’s Choice” products by Petersen’s Hunting in the magazine’s annual gear issue.
The editorial staff at Petersen’s Hunting selected the RX-5000 as the top hunting rangefinder for 2024, specifically recognizing its incredible rangefinding engine and game-changing ‘Pinning’ technology.
“Leupold’s new RX-5000 TBR/W takes handheld rangefinders to the next level. Yes, it features an incredibly powerful rangefinding engine capable of ranging objects out to 5,000 yards and beyond at lightning speeds. However, what really sets it apart from its competition is its ability to simultaneously range and transfer waypoints to OnX maps as a marked pin. This technology is a gamechanger in every sense of the word and undoubtedly makes us more effective hunters,” said the Petersen’s editors in their review.
The RX-5000 TBR/W is the rangefinder for the modern hunter. It delivers an incredible 5,000-yard ranging distance and is packed with other new features. What truly sets it apart is its integration with the also-new Leupold Control app, which uses GPS technology to remotely drop location pins to your phone using digital maps like onX Hunt.
Pinning is established through use of the Leupold Control app, which is free for download in App stores. The Leupold Control app allows you to drop pins in compatible mapping systems–onX Hunt, Google Maps, and Apple Maps–and adjust the settings on your RX-5000.
“A rangefinder is obviously an incredibly important tool to have with you in the field–but what we’ve done with the RX-5000 shows just how valuable it can be as a wayfinder or navigational tool,” said Eric Overstreet, Technology Product Line Manager for Leupold & Stevens, Inc. “Pinning lets you mark your target on a variety of digital mapping systems. Just aim, range, and pin. Any location you range will instantly show up as a waypoint on your digital map. Whether you’re working your way through the backcountry or trying to locate an animal you’ve shot, it’s an invaluable, time-saving feature.”
The RX-5000 is waterproof and extreme-climate tested. It is backed by Leupold’s Electronics Warranty.
