Leupold BX-2 Timberline HD 12x50mm Binocular

The BX-2 Timberline HD 12x50 is the reach model in the Timberline line. Twelve power and 50mm objectives are aimed at open country: glassing across a basin, breaking down a far ridge, or sorting animals at a distance where a 10x leaves you guessing. Behind the glass is Leupold's Advanced Optical System, tuned for light transmission at dawn and dusk, glare control under hard midday sun, and the resolution to catch small movement in cover.

Handling matters on a binocular this size. The oversized focus wheel is easy to find and turn with gloves on, which keeps you from fumbling when something steps out at the wrong moment. Every pair comes with Leupold Pro Gear accessories, including a GO Afield chest harness, lens covers, and a lens cloth, so it is ready to hunt straight out of the box. The shadow gray body keeps it from flashing in the sun while you glass.
