Leupold BX-1 Rogue 10x25 Compact Binocular

The glass speaks for itself. No aberrations in any of my long range use. This binocular has amazing image size for 25mm lenses, and the eye relief is decent. This makes 10x not so fatiguing and better at close range. I'm not sure how much more optic you could shove in a package the size of my hand(6ft man). The rubberized finish doesn't feel the best but it seems like it will hold up. Save the money or spend the extra for these, they are truly worth it. Everyone who tried them commented on the glass. I wish they were made in the USA but I wouldn't buy them for that price. Philippines can be quite good, but these surprised me, even if I payed twice the full price. How are they this cheap?

Yes. This is a gift to myself. Yeeesss!! I tossed my decision between a pair of very much less expensive brand (the power was good, the glass not so), a much better pair of (Name brand withheld, but they were very good also) lower powered yet much-much nicer glass, and these Leupold 10x25 Rogue.Of the three, hands down Leupold wins!Now granted these are not higher end bino's.I got out my range finder, zapped out to easily 650yards down the street. Found a street name sign, am able to see the lettering of the street name very clearly, and as most street name signs will have even smaller print stating the county. Now lets pretend a moment as if I didn't already know that, I can still make out the small lettering. And I have 60+ old eyes!I had my mind almost made ... MoreYes. This is a gift to myself.

And I have 60+ old eyes!I had my mind almost made up for a diff. pair mentioned above, once I saw the clarity of these Leupold Rogue 10x25, plus the fantastic deal MidwayUSA had on them, all I could say is..."Annnd...their mine!"Here is another plus I found: the small footprint of these Leupold will fit nice in my center console of my American made truck. Handy when I need-want them, yet small enough to stash away. I can even put them in my back pocket, they don't fit like my contoured and formed wallet, but they fit.Thanks MidwayUSA for the sweet deal.Thank you Leupold for a very good product straight out of the box.AJ.

The binos them self are decent I’d put them in the 70-80 dollar price range. The low rating is for bass pro them self. I found a cheaper price on line and called CS and asked if they price matched the specific website they said yes. I also confirmed price with them over the phone.When I got to the store picked the binos out and went to the CS desk and they acted at first they didn’t price match until I brought up that I already called the main CS number then they needed a manager’s approval, when said manager came over he stated he was going to charge me an extra $10 for shipping. Even though they weren't shipping them, I had them in hand.After I asked him to explain and telling him I already confirmed with CS what the price would be and he did me a “favor” by ... MoreThe binos them self are decent I’d put them in the 70-80 dollar price range.

Bass pro used to be great its now the “Walmart” of the out door world.
