Elite Optical System

The BX-4 Pro Guide HD Gen 2 is built around Leupold's Elite Optical System, designed to provide the optical performance serious hunters and shooters need when conditions are far from ideal.

The system delivers excellent dawn-to-dusk light transmission for a bright image during critical early-morning and evening glassing periods. Elite-level glare reduction helps maintain visibility when looking toward harsh light or dealing with bright reflections, while high resolution and clarity help reveal detail at distance.

Versatile 10x42 Performance

The 10x42 configuration has become a favourite among hunters because it provides an effective balance of magnification, field of view, light-gathering capability and portability.

Ten-power magnification provides enough reach for scanning distant ridgelines and evaluating animals across open country, while the 42mm objective lenses maintain a compact format suitable for carrying throughout a full day in the field.

A 314-foot linear field of view at 1,000 yards also provides enough viewing area for locating and following animals when hunting tighter terrain.

Built for Backcountry Glassing

At only 5.7 inches long and 25 ounces, the BX-4 Pro Guide HD Gen 2 delivers serious optical performance without becoming an unnecessarily large addition to your hunting equipment.

The open-bridge roof prism design provides an ergonomic gripping area while helping maintain the compact, field-ready profile that makes these binoculars particularly useful for backcountry hunters.

DiamondCoat 2 Lens Protection

Leupold's DiamondCoat 2 helps provide additional protection to exterior lens surfaces while supporting excellent light transmission.

For binoculars that may spend days exposed to dust, brush, packs and demanding field conditions, durable lens protection is particularly valuable.

Guard-ion Lens Coating

The Guard-ion lens coating helps shed water, dirt and fingerprints from exterior lens surfaces, making the binoculars easier to keep clean when weather and field conditions deteriorate.

That means less time dealing with contaminated lenses and more time behind the glass when conditions matter.

Form-Fit Eyecups

The Gen 2 design includes interchangeable Form-Fit eyecups designed to provide additional comfort during extended glassing sessions.

Combined with oversized eyepieces, twist-up adjustment and 17mm of eye relief, the eyecup system helps make long periods behind the binoculars more comfortable.

Waterproof & Fogproof

The BX-4 Pro Guide HD Gen 2 is designed to remain waterproof and fogproof through demanding weather, temperature and elevation changes.

Leupold uses a proprietary gas blend and sealing system to help keep internal optical surfaces moisture-free when conditions change in the field.

Extreme Climate Performance

Hunting optics can encounter dramatic temperature changes in a single trip. Leupold tests its binoculars to perform through extreme environmental conditions so they remain dependable through cold mornings, warm afternoons and changing elevations.

Tripod Ready

For extended glassing sessions, the BX-4 Pro Guide HD Gen 2 is tripod ready. Mounting binoculars to a compatible tripod can dramatically improve viewing stability when picking apart distant hillsides or spending extended periods searching large areas.
