Leupold Gold Ring HD Binos

[johnnylaw]

Anyone on here have any experience with these Binos. Looking for some input, good or bad

[troutseeker]

I have the non HD ones and they are great. I imagine the HD would be even better. They are heavy, that's my only complaint.

[Sitkaspruce]

I have had a set for 8 years now, still my number one Bino's. I have the 8x42 GRHD and my only complaint is the weight, although the weight works well for me as I have a tremor and helps me hold steady. To me and my eyes, they are just as good and the big 3 and I have had a chance to compare them many times while guiding and most clients said they could not see any difference between their Swarvo's, Zeiss and Leica.

Good bino's in my opinion.

Cheers

I have the same issues great binos but heavy, I just got the harness and chucked the strap all good now

As stated above they are heavy and the most recent generation is now 3-4 years old. Assuming you are looking used these might be a great buy depending on the price. If you have found a brand new set still at a dealer I would suggest looking at other simarly priced models such as the Vortex Razor(This is what I have been using for 3 seasons) or Ziess Conquest HD. Similar money and superior optics with a lighter package.

I use them and like them.
