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

I used my spotting scope this year for an open country mule deer hunt. The clarity was outstanding and I was able to identify legal bucks at distances up to 1. 7 miles as we were hunting in a 3pt minimum unit. My only limitations this year was I was using a lower quality tripod that I will remedy for next season.

I had been using another brand for about 5 season's and thought it really clear. Then I looked through the Santiam and realized how many animals I had been missing. I immediately ordered one and I'm so glad I did. Best spotting scope I've used to date.

Great edge-to-edge clarity in low light makes this spotter stiff competition for much more expensive alpha-glass competitors. You won't be disappointed!

This spotter is great. Use it on the range and in the field. Clarity and functionality are what you'd expect from Leupold. Highly recommend.

This is a very good scope. We use it on the ranch to spot deer and other animals at distances of a mile or more. The scope is clear as a bell. Thnaks

The glass is clear. Can zoom in very well. The one thing that buyers should be aware of is the minimum zoom. This spotting scope is meant for long distances

Outstanding optical clarity, even at the highest magnification level. Also gathers light well at twilight. I highly recommend this spotter to serious big game hunters and long range shooters.

The spotting scope is excellent. It has met all my expectations. The only negative is the protective cover. It's a piece of junk & I can't believe Leupold would send such an inferior cover. It isn't designed properly for the swivel scope. I contacted the Tech department to insure that I received the correct one & that I installed it correctly, which they verified that I had. It's now collecting dust in my equipment bag.

I purchased the SX-5 Santiam HD Angled Spotter in Nov 2023, and I'm extremely pleased with it. I also bought the SX-2 Alpine HD 80mm Angled Spotter about a year earlier, and while it's a very nice spotter, the SX-5 is far superior.

Phenomenal spotting scope. Wish I had bought it years ago. It definitely saved me lots of steps and it completely eliminates any excuses for shooting small deer or elk.

I am very impressed with this spotting scope, used it for hunting this fall, it was excellent in low light and was crisp and clear at all power settings. I only wish Leupold made a carrying bag or day pack to make it easier to carry when hiking

It's a extremely clear optic out to well over a mile. The protective covering that comes with the scope is awful doesn't fit which is slightly annoying due to the cost of the optic and I have not been able to find a summit mount that fits the whole base.

I have a SX-2 Kenai 2
By N/A
I have a SX-2 Kenai 2 25-60x80 HD. Great scope. nothing better anywhere.
A great tool worth the price and extra weight
By Brian
PROS: Edge to Edge Clarity, Ergonomic focus mechanism, Good eye relief for those that wear eye glasses, Quality manufacturing, Little to no eye strain CONS: Weight - however, if you want good glass its going to add a few pound to the pack FIELD USE: Backpack hunting in all types of terrain in Arizona, both archery and rifle. Even with the onset of heat waves, it is still useable in the shadows. I was glad to sacrifice a few pounds in other equipment to add this spotting scope to my tool bag....

The spotting scope features a fully multi-coated lens system that guarantees maximum brightness, contrast, and color fidelity. Its exterior lens surfaces are treated with DiamondCoat 2, an ion-assist lens coating, for higher light transmission and superior abrasion resistance.

The SX-5 Santiam HD Spotting Scope is 100% waterproof and fog-proof, ensuring reliable performance in all weather conditions. Its durable housing is covered in an easy-grip rubber armor coating for a secure grasp in any situation. The Guard-Ion lens coating sheds dirt and water, providing clear and crisp images regardless of the conditions.
This spotting scope is also equipped with a retractable lens shade integrated into the body design to reduce glare in bright conditions and protect the objective lens in adverse weather. It features a smooth focusing system for fine adjustments and twist-up eyecups for comfortable extended viewing.
The SX-5 Santiam HD Spotting Scope is tripod-ready with a built-in 1/4-20 tripod adapter port, making it easy to mount for steady viewing. It also includes a protective soft-side case that remains on the spotting scope during viewing for maximum utility.
