Leupold 12-40x60mm hd golden ring spotting scope worth every penny - Leupold 12-40x60mm HD Golden Ring Spotting Scope

I have use a Burris spotting scope for years at the time I purchased it I wanted the Leupold but just could not afford. Last year I could afford and up graded to the 12-40 HD right away it was much clearer and easier to acquire an object at distance. The best thing I can say for it is; I spotted the cow elk I killed at four miles away (just scaled from topo map so as to give an accurate description not a best guess) with a half hour of shooting light and I could postilion identify there were three cows and no bulls. Of course I had to use roads to close and with such little light have some luck guessing where they would come down off the mountain but managed to hike in a hundred yards and caught them coming down to the meadow to feed. If it was not for the clarity of this spotting scope I would have had no chance to identify and close in the time I had.
