The Leupold BX-2 Alpine HD delivers HD lenses, Leupold's Advanced Optical System and an Abbe-Koenig prism at a price that makes sense for working hunters. Choose the 10x42 for an all-around binocular that is light enough to carry anywhere, or the 12x52 for long-range glassing and extra low-light brightness.
Both sizes are fogproof and waterproof, with twist-up eyecups and a 1/4-20 rotatable tripod port, and come with a GO Afield harness, lens covers and a lens cloth. Backed by the Leupold Lifetime Guarantee.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which magnification and objective size is right for me?
The first number is magnification and the second is the objective lens size in millimeters. Higher magnification shows more detail at distance but is harder to hold steady, and bigger objectives gather more light at dawn and dusk but add weight. Sizes offered here: 10x42: the best all-around choice for most hunters, light enough to carry all day and powerful enough for fields and food plots out to a few hundred yards; 12x52: long-range detail plus low-light brightness for open country and western hunts; best braced or on a tripod.
How do the BX-2 Alpine HD sizes compare?
The 10x42 weighs 24.3 oz with a 342 ft field of view at 1,000 yards. The 12x52 weighs 32 oz with a 261 ft field of view and bigger objectives for low light.
Can I mount it on a tripod?
Yes. Both sizes have a 1/4-20 rotatable tripod port.
