Leupold Optics is releasing three new BX line models, two of which, the BX-1 McKenzie HD and the BX-2 Alpine HD binoculars have four optical power options to choose from. The third model, the BX-T HD binoculars have a MIL-L reticle for ranging and measuring targets, primarily for tactical applications. The new models will join the BX-5 Santiam HD binoculars, though in a more budget-minded price range. The BX-1 McKenzie HD and BX-2 Alpine HD binoculars are designed with general purposes in mind, but with slightly different strengths between the two as seen in Leupold’s product descriptions below.
