Before we can press the trigger with the slightest hope of any success, we must first have a ballistic solution. Some call it DOPE. There is a host of ballistic solvers at the ready for the precision rifle shooter. They all technically do the same thing, and in some cases slightly differently. They all rely on accurate data inputs to give us accurate outputs. One of those important inputs is the target distance or range. The Leupold RX-2800 TBR-W provides a solid tool to gather that data.
