how is this considered a rangefinder? is actually a range finder or does it just have some sort of markings in the reticle?

It's actually a range finder. In classical terms that means it's a way to calculate the range. It's pretty darn accurate and it works without batteries or having to bounce a weak laser off of a moving subject. And, it's got greater range than the most expensive laser toy you can afford to buy. Yes, you put the rangefinder's markings about human shoulder width which happens to be about the same as the chest of a good sized deer and it shows how far you are on the tick marks. If you a re shooting a 30 cal round that weighs about 150 grains it just happens to be where you are aiming anyways, so you just pull the trigger and if you practiced enough that's where the bullet will hit.

It has marking in the reticle that the user matches target size for distance.

Charles, sad sack hit the nail on the head, to fully understand the concept, go online. the answer is there..........

just markings. it is a simple, mechanical range finder. look elsewhere if you want an electronic range finder.

There are range finding markings below the center crosshair (Set to human shoulder width, apparently) so when you raise the scope to fit shoulder width at the target, you've hit the right elevation to strike the target at that distance.

You see a black reticle, just like a normal non-illuminated scope. The circle around the center dot is very wide. I like it for fast acquisition, but many people complain it is too wide and blocks their view.

Unless you an unbelievable shot and plan on shooting 100yrds you wouldn't need a rangefinder. Just aim and shoot.

To be honest, I don't know. Actually I haven't been to the range yet to zero this scope. The 'sniper' concept behind it seems valid. But the proof is in the pudding. Not much help I know, but what I've read on this scope, and the Sweet 17 one too, has all been good.

Then you need to use a bore laser in doors so you can see it. Haven't had a low but AR types are generally high. Matt I have a few different Bushnell, red dots, range finders, and this. They don't make the greatest products in the world. They do have good cust. Service Email or call.

i purchased the rx-600i for bow hunting i have checked the accuraccy out to a 100 yds and it is dead on. it says it is accurate out to 600 yrds but i have not checked it out at this distance but i will this summer.it is made in china but it feels and looks well made.i am pleased with this range finder and would recommend it

It's a reflective red dot. It's really good quality though. I wasn't expecting it to be as good as it is. Mine has held zero for close to 1000 rounds.

It is called Rapid Ranging Reticles, https://www.google.com/search?q=rapid+ranging+reticle&tbm;=isch&tbo;=u&source;=univ&s;a=X&ei;=rQm2UoXvIcuvsQSV5IDgAw&ved;=0CCkQsAQ&biw;=1175&bih;=637

Yes it is, I find it very comfortable to use. Why they don't put right angle finders on Scopes as a regular feature I have no idea. I cant live without mine.

The range finder is simple horizontal lines below center crosshair, NOT a digital laser with readout. You must have a known subject at a known distance for a base point to calculate any other further subjects at further distances. For what it matters, my binocular had a broken none functioning compass when I received it!

This adjustment is to help remove the peralex effect. It also can be use as a range find. That scope is a 400yds scope. U cant zero it for less than 100 yds

Nah, just uses a pinpoint of light in the spotting scope to show where you're aiming. IMHO, they tried to force an advancement on the old crosshairs system and it just isn't worth the trouble. It doesn't align as easily as crosshairs and is more difficult to aim with, which means it's a step back for the only two purposes it serves.

I recall that I was confused by the picture and the ad for the rangefinder. My suggestion would be to call Amazon. There customer care people are very good and the phone number is on the Amazon homepage.

It says in the description it is a mildot scope, so I'd guess its a miltdot reticle. I'll let you know when mine arrives.

The reticle is set up for 100 to 500 yards. However the average Joe will probably only ever use a scope to a max distance of 250 to 300 yard. After 300 yards you going to be doing a lot more calculating of windage elevation temperature and a bunch of other factors that the average shooter doesn't really know how to do

Product description states: Item model number: TA104050IRF Which indicates that it is an Illuminated Range Finding reticle. NOT the mil-dot reticle.
