Why this gift works
The Leupold RX-1400i TBR/W Gen 2 is a pocket-size 5x laser rangefinder with a 21 mm objective and a red TOLED display with adjustable brightness. Leupold rates it to 1,400 yards on reflective targets, 1,200 yards on trees and 900 yards on deer, with accuracy to plus or minus half a yard out to 125 yards. It weighs 5.1 ounces, runs on one CR2 battery rated for about 3,000 readings, and is waterproof and fogproof. This listing is the black and gray version, part 183727.
Judging distance across a field, down from a treestand or along a creek bottom is hard, and a rangefinder takes the guesswork out. Leupold's angle-compensated modes give the true horizontal distance on uphill and downhill targets. For a deer hunter, it is one of the most useful pieces of optics after binoculars.
Who is this gift for?
Great for
- A deer hunter on field edges
- A treestand hunter
- Someone who scouts open country
Think twice if
- They hunt only thick cover
- They want 6x magnification
The catch
One CR2 battery is rated for about 3,000 readings, so they will want a spare, and the magnification is 5x where some rivals offer 6x. Real range depends on the target - Leupold's deer rating is 900 yards, well below the 1,400-yard maximum.
Skip if they already carry a rangefinder, or hunt thick woods where everything is close.

What to look for in a hunting rangefinder
- Range on game. Look at the deer or game rating, not the reflective maximum - 900 yd here.
- Angle compensation. It matters for treestands and steep ground; this one has it.
- Display. A red display with brightness control is easier to read in low light.
- Size. Pocket-size units get carried; this one weighs 5.1 oz.
