BEAVERTON, Ore. — Leupold & Stevens, Inc., provider of the world’s most rugged, lightweight, and clear sport optics, is pleased to announce that the Leupold BX-5 Santiam HD 15x56 Binocular has been named “Gray’s Best” for Shooting products by Gray’s Sporting Journal. The award was announced in the Gray’s 2022 Expeditions & Guides Annual.

The Gray's Best awards are selected by the editors of Gray's Sporting Journal, who choose gear that not only makes good first impressions but satisfies during repeated use. Choices are made of the Editorial team's own volition, absent encouragement, or incentive from the manufacturers.

“Those who have spent hours peering through a spotting scope know that it’s vastly easier on the eyes to look through a binocular, and you see more. As well, depth perception is a great aid to judging exactly what you’re looking at,” said the Gray’s editors in their review, “… Combine this with significantly reduced size and weight, and the sharply reduced price of the Santiam binocular, and you have a winning combination.”

The BX-5 Santiam HD 15x56 binocular boasts a clear and powerful 15x magnification to make identifying your target easier than ever. Built for epic adventures in harsh environments, it dominates other optics in its class and features Leupold’s Professional Grade Optical System, which offers unmatched light transmission that’s designed to outperform in the most challenging conditions, industry-leading glare reduction for a clear image in direct, harsh light, and the resolution and clarity that professional guides and shooters demand.

“The Leupold Core is comprised of the most relentless hunters and shooters in the world,” said Bruce Pettet, President and Chief Executive Officer for Leupold & Stevens, Inc. “They demand world-class performance, and that’s what the BX-5 Santiam HD line delivers. We’re proud to have been recognized by Gray’s Sporting Journal, one of the world’s most respected hunting publications.”

The BX-5 Santiam HD 15x56 binocular is proudly backed by Leupold’s legendary Full Lifetime Guarantee.
