The Leupold BX‑6 Range HD 4DOF is a new flagship rangefinding binocular designed to combine long‑range ranging, advanced ballistic solving, and GPS‑based mapping in a single optic.
Built around a 10×42 optical system, the BX‑6 is aimed at long‑range shooters, hunters, and archers who want one device to handle ranging, ballistic computation, and target location.
Integrated Ballistics and Environmental Data
At the center of the BX‑6 is Hornady’s 4DOF ballistic calculator, which uses onboard environmental sensors to measure temperature, pressure, and shooting angle.
The system supports both rifle and archery ballistics, allowing the binocular to deliver corrected solutions without relying on a separate handheld device.
Ballistic profiles are managed through Leupold’s companion app, with support for multiple stored profiles and rapid switching in the field.
Long‑Range Ranging and Mapping Integration
Leupold rates the BX‑6 with a long‑range mode capable of ranging out to approximately 6,000 yards, with reliable ranging on tree‑sized targets out to roughly 3,000 yards.
The binocular includes an integrated compass and Bluetooth connectivity, enabling GPS pinning directly into mapping platforms, including onX Maps, as well as other common navigation apps.
This allows users to range a target and immediately drop a waypoint without pulling out a phone or GPS unit. That means you’ll see exactly where a bloodtrail starts in your OnX map, so you can find it without question, even in the dark. That’s very cool.
Optics, Controls, and Build
The BX‑6 uses Leupold’s Professional‑Grade Optical System, with high‑definition glass optimized for clarity, contrast, and low‑light performance. Controls are designed to be glove‑friendly, and the binocular can be operated through physical buttons or via the mobile app.
Service and repair for the BX‑6 are handled in the United States, with Leupold’s service center based in Oregon, reinforcing the company’s long‑standing support infrastructure and lifetime warranty.
Price and Availability
The Leupold BX‑6 Range HD 4DOF carries an MSRP of approximately $4,000, placing it in the premium range-finding optics category.
