Overview
The Gen 2 BX-4 Pro Guide HD is Leupold's mid-tier workhorse and the natural cross-shop to the Vortex Viper HD. It runs the Elite Optical System with DiamondCoat 2 scratch-resistant coatings, an open-bridge body that is easy to grip one-handed, and twist-up eyecups with a comfortable 17 mm of eye relief. Its 314 ft field of view is the narrowest of the mid-tier group and its 9.3 ft close focus trails the Zeiss and Vortex, but the glass is bright and neutral, and it carries Leupold's lifetime guarantee.
