For most of us who hunt, the sensible answer lies somewhere in the middle.

Their BX-5 binocular shows its value right out of the box; the unit is well thought-out and easy to adjust, and images from five yards to 1,500 yards are clear and crisp, from edge to edge. I immediately recognized the same clarity in the Santiam binocular that I saw in the VX-5HD riflescope. Low light is no issue, as the Santiam binocular offers light transmission in the low 90<sup>th<\/sup> percentile\u2014no lenses will offer 100% light transmission\u2014due to the Twilight Max HD coating, protected by the Guard ION coating.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_98193\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Photo-1-6.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt365-leupold-santiam-bino\" title=\"Leupold BX-5 Santiam HD  Binocular\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-98193\" class=\"size-large wp-image-98193\" title=\"Leupold BX-5 Santiam HD  Binocular\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Photo-1-6-1024x685.jpg\" alt=\"Leupold BX-5 Santiam HD  Binocular\" width=\"1024\" height=\"685\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Photo-1-6-1024x685.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Photo-1-6-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Photo-1-6-400x268.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Photo-1-6-768x514.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Photo-1-6.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-98193\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rugged, light and crisp, the BX-5 is a great binocular for scouting and hunting alike.<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p2\">The replaceable eyecups extend nicely, making the BX-5 comfortable to use for long glassing sessions; the central focus dial offers enough resistance to stay put when you want it to, yet adjusts easily.
