LEAP L3R

Name: RIX LEAP L3R
Brand: RIX

Recognizes a hog at 150 yd24° apparent FOV — how big the view looks

The RIX LEAP L3R ranks #11 of 53 384-class scopes on image: priced above the class middle without the image to match — the chart below shows scopes with more picture for the money (image 64, class median 62; $2,599 against $1,995). The same InfiRay core sits in the Bering Hogster ZAP 2.8-11.2x35mm at $1,375 — the extra $1,224 here buys the rangefinder. The 5-year warranty follows the scope through a resale.

What the price buys

How we compare →

Computed by comparing this scope against its own siblings on the board — same sensor and lens held equal. Refreshed with every catalog update.

+$1,100 of packaging on the same picture

Same 384×288 sensor and 35 mm lens as the STORM S3 at $1,499. The extra buys a sharper screen (1024×768 → 1920×1080) and the body — not detail at distance. One caveat: RIX prints ≤25 mK on the cheaper one and ≤20 mK here — a tighter factory tuning of the same sensor, not a different part.

The sharper screen costs +$800

Same picture as the STORM S3R at $1,799; the extra buys the 1920×1080 screen over 1024×768 — that's the LEAP line's screen tier. Sharper to look at, no more detail at distance. One caveat: RIX prints ≤25 mK on the cheaper one and ≤20 mK here — a tighter factory tuning of the same sensor, not a different part.
