The Leupold brand
The company was started by two brothers-in-law Fred Leupold and Adam Volpel, as surveying equipment and compass manufacturers. Later on, it started developing water level and flow recorders as well as stream gauging equipment.
In the 1940s, Fred’s son Marcus entered the scopes market with Leuopol Plainsman. And from there, the company continued to innovate and introduce new features like fog proofing nitrogen processed scopes. Fred liked hunting, and one day he missed a duck because his scope fogged up. He found that the market is missing a decent scope for hunting, so he came up with the Plainsman.

How to choose Leupold binoculars?
Finding the right pair of binoculars is pretty difficult because there are so many available on the market. To pick the right one according to your needs, you must understand what your requirements are and then look for the following features:
Model
Leupold has different models on offer. The BX-1 Rogue is for hunting on the go, while the BX-1 Mckenzie is for birding on the go. The BX-2 Alpine is designed for sightseeing and exploring, while the BX-4 Pro Guide HD is suitable for serious hunting and even long-range shooting. There are some other models as well suitable for a range of different outdoor activities.
Magnification
It’s a degree up to which the lenses of your binoculars magnify a target. It allows you to zoom in on your target to have a closer view from a distant point. 8x magnification is ideal for general purpose views in sightseeing.
Whereas 10x magnification brings in more details and is better suited for hunting, birding, and more specialized purposes. Anything above that will work better for stargazing and astronomy.
Lens diameter
Different lens diameters are available on the market. The bigger the objective lens, the more powerful it is going to be. Bigger objective lenses are heavy, and you will have to be a bit careful when handling them. Objective lenses that are up to 42mm are great for using on the go.
As they get bigger, they get heavier and become more powerful, so you need to use them while being stationary. 42mm objective lenses are great for hunting, birding, and exploring. A higher objective lens is suitable for long-range observation, stargazing, and astronomy.
Eye relief
It is the distance between the position where your exit pupil forms and the outer surface of the eyepiece’s lens. If you wear eyeglasses, you need to go for longer eye relief, ideally over 16mm.
Weight
The weight of the binoculars is directly associated with the optics that it comes with. If they come with a bigger more powerful objective lens, then they will be heavier.
Anything around 23 oz is suitable for on the go. But if your bino is over 25 oz, you might need a tripod. Heavier units are difficult to be used on the go, so you need to use them with a tripod or a window mount if you don’t want your hands to feel fatigued.
