Leupold RX-FullDraw
Rangefinder
Leupold® has expanded its line of compact digital laser rangefinders with four new models: the RX-800i and RX-800i TBR (800-yard range); RX-600i (600-yard range); and RX-FullDraw for archers (175-yard range). At just over 4 inches and weighing 7 ounces or less, all fit in a shirt pocket yet come packed with features to help confirm and range targets so you may shoot with confidence even at the edge of effective long range. Digitally eNhanced Accuracy, Leupold’s next-generation rangefinder engine technology, delivers superior speed and accuracy to within 1/2-yard at 125 yards with enhanced dependability on non-reflective targets such as deer. Trophy Scale™ lets you determine if the animal’s rack measures up by instantly confirming width and height. True Ballistic Range® technology automatically compensates for uphill or downhill angle to provide ballistic range rather than straight-line distance to the target. Trig, a new function of the RX-800i TBR, can determine the height or length of objects. RX-600i and RX-800i come with 6x magnification. RX-FullDraw’s 5x magnification provides exceptionally wide field of view. All have multi coated lenses and extra-bright liquid crystal displays. Long eye relief and fold-down rubber eyecups assure comfortable use with or without eyeglasses. Other key features include fast-focus eyepiece, an intuitive quick-set menu, three selectable aiming reticles. Built by Leupold to withstand the rigors of the outdoors. Suggested retail $219.99 to $319.99. For more information, contact: Leupold & Stevens Inc., Dept. FFG, P.O. Box 688; Beaverton, OR 97075-0688; (800) 538-7653; www.leupold.com
BioLite CampStove uses an ingenious design to cook a complete meal with just a handful of sticks in a stove no bigger than a water bottle. And, as a by-product, it generates enough electricity to recharge low-power devices like cell phones and LED camp lights. The secret to the efficiency is the cyclical way heat from the fire generates electricity through a thermoelectric generator that powers a fan that increases the airflow to improve the combustion and create even more heat. Reaches temperatures of 1,200 to 1,500 degrees. An ounce and a half of dry wood can bring a liter of water in the right container to a boil in as little as 3 minutes. Entire stove measures 8.25 inches tall by 5 inches wide. Empty weight 33 ounces. A USB port for charging devices is built-in. May be ordered on company website for $129 plus shipping.
