8x magnification gives you plenty of power, with a wide field of view to track movement Rugged, waterproof construction. Scan mode continuously updates the range as you track a target or scan an area. The precision thermometer gives you digital readings in ¿C or ¿F. Accurate to 1,500 yards, with measurements in feet, yards, or meters. The Quick Set Rotary Menu® is easy to use, for fast customization of your RX-IV. Also includes the Quick Start Mode. With a built-in inclinometer, the RX-IV calculates the ballistics range to your target, then displays it as a holdover aim point, an MOA adjustment, or the equivalent horizontal distance. Available with Mossy Oak® Brush® camo or two-tone black/gray finish. Includes a digital compass with a declination setting feature. Battery power indicator for easy battery level checks. The common CR2 lithium camera battery is easy to change in the field. Multiple Ballistics Settings¿RX rangefinders with True Ballistic Range (TBR®) provide accurate aiming information matched to the performance of your rifle or bow. By calculating the incline, line of sight range to the target, and a projectile¿s ballistics, your RX provides rifle hunters using Leupold Ballistics Aiming System¿ reticles as well as bow hunters the correct equivalent horizontal distance for precise shooting on an incline. In other words, aim using the True Ballistic Range, not the line of sight range. Rifle hunters can also get this data as an MOA adjustment or a holdover point. With practice, long distance/steep angle shooting will become second nature. Dial in your RX to one of seven TBR ballistics settings for the rifle and three for the bow for incredible accuracy. TBR is effective to 800 yards for most rifle cartridges.

I purchased the RX-IV because of the "precision" electronic compass. As a rangefinder it worked OK. The furthest target I ranged was a small tool shed at 700 yards. The distance matched well with an estimate using Google Earth. I never tried the BOW mode, but limiting it to 60 yards is a severe shortcoming. If you are ranging deer as they come in, you need more than 60 yards without having to change modes.
As for the compass, no matter how many times I calibrated it, or set the magnetic declination manually, it was wildly off in most directions. Using known points, true north read about 44 degrees. true south was off by about 30 degrees. A test where I took four readings 90 degrees apart, produced terrible results. That last one was the acid test. Oddly, in some directions, for example around 300 degrees, it worked OK.
The printed manual never describes how to take a ranging, it just describes setting the functions. the order in which functions are set is illogical. For example, the ">150" mode is always the first, and is not something I would be likely to change much. There doesn't seem to be a way to escape from configuration mode, either.
I also question the true ballistic range (TBR) feature. For flat shooting cartridges at shorter ranges, the TBR and line of sight (LOS) become identical, regardless of the inclination angle. I would expect the TBR to become equal to the true horizontal range. Not that it matters much for such cartridges, but it does limit the RX-IV's utility for other purposes.
BTW, I asked for support from Leupold using their online system. No response, I guess they the RX-IV is problematic. Once my account is credited, I'll order a Bushnell 1200.

Leupold RX-IV Digital Laser Rangefinder with 1500 Yard Maximum Range, Waterproof, Black/Grey, with Case
I am not sure if 1500 yards maximum range is an accurate statement. The farthest I could get this to range a 48 inch diameter Oak tree was 588 yards. I couldn't get a reading on a deer which was less than the distance to the Oak tree.
For bow hunting, the true distance to the target is a great feature if it did not have a fixed 8 power magnification. I tried to range a deer at 30 yards and it took me 5 seconds to find it in the reticle and it was like looking at a big wad of fur.
overall, I expected more out of Leupold. I was dissapointed.
