Leupold Gold Ring spotter ???
zwickeyman:
Anyone have input on the Gold Ring 12-40X60 spotter
I like Leupold scopes but hate their Bino's. How good are their spotters

I've had one for, I believe, 17 years. The only problem is I use it a ton and bend the rubber eye cup and then it gets a crack in it. No big deal though, it works just fine without an eye cup and Leupold always sends me a hand full of spares at not cost to me so I have one readily available for replacement. The compact size makes it easy to pack. It's been dropped or tipped over many, many times. I have even used it for a quick rest for a shot once, tipped on end, with the ocular straight up. I have never used it with the protecting cover it comes with, too much added weight. I use my glove, shirt, whatever I have to clean the lenses off.
In 17 years, if you only knew what kind of animals have found it's way in that scope, been packed all over the west.

I've had the HD version for about 10 years. I like the size, weight and the fact it starts at 12x which gives a good field of view for scanning an area. Eye relief is excellent especially at lower powers. I also have a Swarovski 80mm which is optically better but I usually end up taking the Leupold for the reasons mentioned above.

I have had one for about 4 years. Very good quality for the money and fairly lite weight. Not quite like a Swarovski but still very good. If you have patience you can save a lot of money buying used. I bought my leupold off this hunt Washington classified. Saved several hundred dollars versus new.
