Accuracy - Leupold GX-3c Operating Instructions Manual

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 .
