Overview

The SX-2 Alpine HD Gen 2 60mm is the answer for a hunter who hikes to the glass. The 60mm objective gathers less light than an 85mm scope, which is the deliberate trade for a 14.4 in body that actually fits a backpack lid, and the HD glass with Diamond-Coat and Guard-ion coatings keeps the image honest at reasonable magnification. Its wide 106.8 ft field at 20x makes it a fast scanning tool on a tall tripod or a shooting-stick clamp, and the integrated mount offers both a 1/4-20 socket and an Arca-Swiss base. Push it to 60x in poor light and the smaller objective shows its limits, so treat it as a compact glassing and confirmation scope rather than a first-and-last-light detail piece.

Key Features

  • 60mm objective in a short, pack-friendly 14.4 in body
  • HD glass with Diamond-Coat scratch resistance and Guard-ion lens coating
  • Wide 106.8 ft field of view at 20x
  • Integrated 1/4-20 adapter plus Arca-Swiss compatible base
  • 100 percent waterproof and fogproof
  • Leupold lifetime guarantee with free repair or replacement

Pros

  • +60mm objective and 14.4 in length make it a genuine backpack scope
  • +HD glass and Leupold coatings above its price class
  • +1/4-20 and Arca mounting built in
  • +Leupold no-fault lifetime warranty

Cons

  • 60mm objective gathers less low-light detail than an 85mm scope
  • High magnification in dim conditions is where the small objective struggles
