Have owned Leupold scopes, binos and now spotting scope since I bought my first scope with paper route money at 11 years old. That was 53 years ago!!
Stay strong, eat well, hit the gym and be relentless!!!

Have owned Leupold scopes, binos

These are a great performing binos. The optics are clear and bright. These are a great value for the price.

These are a great performing

I bought Leupold Binoculars because I buy all Leupold scopes in VX5 & VX6 on my multitude of hunting rifles. I love the clarity and brightness they provide on western hunts. Unless your going to buy high end European glass, Leupold is the way to go.

I bought Leupold Binoculars because

Excellent quality and clarity. Zoom is extraordinary. These are perfect if you are stationary, but the weight would not be great if they were in a harness and you were mobile needing to glass quickly. This is not what I purchased these for, so I am super happy and satisfied.

Excellent quality and clarity. Zoom

Love the clarity of the the optics just wish the eyepieces were a little softer.

Love the clarity of the

i had another brand of binoculars before this one. they were $750, won't say what brand. couldn't get the diopter set good enough, so the image looked like two identical photoshop layers with one layer's opacity slightly lowered and slightly blurred, and threw your eyes off. sent them back, they sent me another pair. same thing. sent them back again and got a third pair, same thing again. they were also not good in low light at all and bad with glare. sold them, and picked up a 12x50 santium hd. it's perfect, the diopter adjustment set in correctly, looks like one image. finally! didn't have the problem like three pairs of the other brand did. the sharpness, clarity on the santium is awesome. and super good with glare and awesome in low light. i could still get a sharp image and could focus out and was still able to focus back in to get a sharp picture right before dark. i see alot of other people complaining about the uncomfortable eye cups, but they don't bother me, even when looking through them for long periods. i don't have to pull the eye cups out either, so i don't have to worry about them moving. the gen 2 bx-4's winged eye cups are really nice though, tried them out. it would be nice to have them for the bx-5's. i don't like the new grip on the gen 2 bx-4's though, they look and feel cheap. hopefully if leupold does a gen 2 bx-5, they keep the same grip as their current version. i'm betting that won't happen though. i don't know, maybe alot of customers gave feedback and wanted a "better grip", but seems the opposite to me. just doesn't grip and looks cheap. the original bx-4 and bx-5 grip just looks like higher quality. but yes, bx-5 is sharp all the way out! focus wheel friction is really good, but sorry another complaint, it would be nice if the diopter ring was locking like the bx-4 or the viper hd. the ring on the bx-5 is supposed to be a tight friction, but it still moves around. leupold, make a locking diopter ring if you come out with a gen 2 bx-5! still five stars though, these are awesome binoculars.

super sharp, clarity, low light and good w/glare!

Some of the best optics I've had I love them

Some of the best optics

Love them!

No joy on the Elk but saw a lot of really cool stuff and had a great time up in the mountains. Would definitely recommend them. They are very clear and the eye relief is significant so eye fatigue wasnt really a problem.

No joy on the Elk

Better than expected!

Good clarity, great optics. Only complaint is the eye cup, the eye cup has a ridge on it, verse being smooth. So after long hours behind the glass it digs in, and is uncomfortable. If leupold fixed this eye cup, I would give 5 stars.

Good clarity, great optics. Only

Excellent in low light conditions.

like them a lot, carry them in my ridge and use them often Thanks for the good glasses

like them a lot, carry

Great pair of binoculars, clarity is crystal clear and well worth the purchase. Wish I would have purchased them years ago.

Great pair of binoculars, clarity

Great binoculars. They work well in low light conditions.

Great binoculars. They work well

Awesome set of binoculars. I couldn?t be happier with my purchase.

Awesome set of binoculars. I

Optics are really clear, but the only down side for me is that the image gets a little shaky if you don't have a steady hand or something to brace with. I wish they had a image stabilizer in them. Other than that it is a great product.

Optics are really clear, but

Best Bono?s I?ve ever owned. Clear, especially at far distances.

Best Bono?s I?ve ever owned.

Very pleased. Excellent glass, overall awesome bino?s!!

Very pleased. Excellent glass, overall

Excellent glass, I would like them to have a direct mount for attaching to a tripod due to the weight. Only reason I didn?t give them 5 stars

Excellent glass, I would like

Love mine. By far my most important piece of gear. Love the clarity and low light transmission

Love mine. By far my

Clearest glass I've ever owned. Durable. Love them. I would dock 1/2 star if I could for the chintzy harness in which these binos barely fit.

Clearest glass I've ever owned.

Great glass, the only thing I would change are the eye pieces, I wish they would stick at each eye relief position a little harder. I end up pushing them in when putting them up to my face.

Great glass, the only thing

They are amazing quality glass, I use them on a tripod as my go between for my binos and spotter. They are rugged and high quality. Love them.

They are amazing quality glass,

The glass clarity and sharpness make the world around feel magestic, and the field of view makes finding your object easy. The one odd aspect to me are the eye cups. The FOV is short enough that they don't need to be extended, which is good, because when they are extended, they cut off the outsides of the FOV. This ended up being a non-issue for myself, but it is the only reason that I couldn't put 5 stars. On the other hand, the focus knob is smooth rolling and really feels like a piece on a luxury optic. It is simply a pleasurable experience to look through these binoculars.

Lovely

These binoculars are great. I'm a guide, so I spend a lot of time looking through binoculars. I've used these on several hunts this summer and they have far-exceeded my expectations. They're big binoculars, so wouldn't be my first choice for someone who does a lot of spot and stalk hunting and doesn't want to have two pairs of binoculars. Only complaint I have is the case, which is too small. Had a hunter order the BX-4 12X50s, which are significantly smaller binoculars. Same case as the 15X56s, and fit the 12X50s perfect. BTW, the BX-4 12X50s were also great binoculars and I would highly recommend them, especially for a spot and stalk hunter.

These binoculars are great. I'm

they are super light and extremely clear. At low light they are very impressive. I'm hoping to see a rangefinder option with this same quality and clarity. Totally worth the wait!!!

they are super light and

Nice n clear

These binoculars function very well and are extremely clear. I had a 20+ year old pair of 12x 50 Boon and Crocker Pinacles that I liked, but one side fogged and I sent them back for repair. I spoke with Leupold service and paid an up charge to get the Bx5?5 instead of the BX 4?s that they were going to replace them with. No regrets for my application. (100 yard range identification and white tail hunting over large green fields in Alabama) Optics don?t appear quite as good as some European Binoculars in the same power, however these are 1/2 the price. They are slightly heavier than others too. With all the criticism, they are an excellent choice for my application. The tripod adapter seems cheap along with the lens covers. I purchased a necessary aftermarket tripod adapter that is much more rigid and firm than the Leupold bracket. No substitute for the lens covers, but they stay in a bag until I get in the stand or the range. I replaced the neck strap with a neoprene one that I prefer also. I have other binoculars for different applications and they happen to be Swarvoski 10x32 EL?s and an old pair of 7x42 SLC?s. These Leupold?s hang right there with the Swarovski, so don?t let the ?Glass Snobs? tell you otherwise. I am bias towards Leupold only because I had their scopes as a child, continue to use their products 40 years later and own over 10 scopes ranging from VX 1 up to VX 7 and everything in between. I am not a professional only an avid outdoorsman giving an opinion for anyone thinking of a purchase.
