Reviews & Ratings for Leupold BX-2 Alpine 8x42mm Roof Prism Binocular — 1 review — Page 1

This is my first pair of real binoculars. I’ve had these for about a month. I’ve gone on a few hikes with them, done some casual stargazing and birding, and for viewing deer and turkey in the mountains of Virginia. I’m happy with the clarity and build quality. I’ve used them before sunrise and at sunset and I can tell I’m able to see quite a bit at those low light times. I compared them with the Nikon Monarch 5s which are about $100 more and I could not tell the difference in glass quality. These are made in China which seems to be where most binoculars under $400 are made these days. I’m a fan of Leupold after my experience with these binoculars. I think the HD version will be released in February (based on them shown as being available for order on Eurooptic) so prospective buyers may want to wait on buying these. I’ll probably buy a pair of the BX-4 Pro Guide HD 10x42 for my next trip out west.
