    Leupold optics.

    Am thinking i may have the extra cash soon to upgrade some of my optics, as much as id love to go all swaro i just can not afford it. Have been looking at maybe a leupold spotter like the sx pro guide or the santiam hd. And binos in the bc4 pro guide or the bx5 santiam. Anyone own any of these and have u compared them too other brands, vortex, burris, delta ect. Cheers guys. Will try get into a shop to look through some at some point also but seems no shops near me ever have what i want to look at in stock. 🙄

    Many years ago, I had a small business where I made custom items for clients. Busy in winter, quiet in summer. A number of those clients paid in cash on ordering and I stored the cash away until I had made said item and Couriered it off. Towards the end of summer there would be a bit of spare cash after all the orders had been filled and tax paid. So one day I grabbed $1700 of the cash and decided to buy myself a Leupold spotter. Was a shit load of money in those days, and I felt bloody guilty with a young family to feed. Felt like shit when I got home with the new spotter. But.......have never regretted buying quality, never regretted that purchase since. I still use the spotter, and its been everywhere, seen many many animals. Certainly not top of the range, but pretty bloody good. And has never failed. Buy once, cry once.

    I have a pair of BX4 HD 10x42 binos. Love them. Not quite as good as my mates' lieca or Swarovski models but nearly there at less than half the price. Go for it.

    The BX4 binos are pretty nice for the $$ I am more than happy with mine.

    I've never owned any leupold binos but some of there spotters sit right up there with Swarovski and Lecia, unlike the delta and vortex spotters you'll actually see what your looking at.
    The older model leupold spotters take some beating
