ACCURACY
The ranging accuracy of the GX series of rangefinders is +/- .5
yard/meter. The maximum effective range depends upon a
number of factors including lighting conditions and air quality,
but the most important factor is the reflectivity of the target.
For most objects, the maximum distance is 700 yards, while for
highly reflective targets (such as pin prisms), distances of 800
yards can be obtained.
HOW IT WORKS
The Leupold GX rangefinders emit a series of invisible, infrared
energy pulses that reflect off the selected target back to the
optical unit. State-of-the-art circuitry and precision computing
circuits calculate the distance instantaneously by measuring the
time it takes for each pulse to travel from the GX rangefinder to
the object and back.
