The Leupold BX-1 McKenzie HD 12×50 binoculars in Shadow Gray (part no. 181175) push 12x magnification through 50mm objectives for the kind of reach open-country glassing demands. Leupold fully multi-coats the lenses of this compact roof-prism design, improving light transmission and contrast across long glassing sessions, while a rubber-armored, waterproof and fogproof build shrugs off weather and hard use. A 4.1mm exit pupil keeps the image usable into fading light, and Pro Gear accessories — harness, case, lens covers, and cloth — come in the box. For hunters, birders, and scouts covering ground, these binoculars are ready to glass out of the package.
