Built for epic adventures in harsh environments, the BX-5 Santiam HD binocular dominates other optics in its class. It's the perfect glass for anyone who demands professional-grade performance. Backed with our full lifetime guarantee, the BX-5 Santiam HD is the only binocular you’ll ever need.

Whether you need all-day performance in the backcountry or a clear image at the range, the SX-5 Santiam® HD will deliver at the highest level. And like all Leupold® spotting scopes, it's guaranteed for life.

If you're looking for a little extra magnification for your long-range shooting setup, the VX®-3i LRP (Long Range Precision) 6.5-20x50mm won't disappoint. For hunters, shooters, and precision rifle competitors, the VX®-3i LRP eliminates the element of chance from long-range shooting.

Keep your optics fully secured inside our new and improved Pro Guide Binocular Harness 2. It's made in America and tough enough to withstand the harshest backcountry conditions.
