"Thanks to friends with extravagant taste in hunting optics and a career in the hunting industry that has now spanned nearly 20 years, I've been fortunate to test the best hunting optics on the market. The SX-5 Santiam HD spotting scope from Leupold had me excited for several reasons when I first studied the specs on the glass. Thankfully, I wasn't disappointed when the out-of-the-box specifications were confronted with real-world glassing needs. The 80mm objective lens on this scope promised to deliver tons of light gathering capability and it was on a body that was just over 16" long, which ensured that it fit nicely in my hunting packs.
In a wide range of temperatures and at the extrem edges of glassing light, I found that the scope peformed as well as any I'd sat behind. The ultra-fine center focus wheel was invaluable when dialing in the perfect focus without disturbing the glass on the tripod. Furthermore, the edge-to-edge clarity made it a great glass for sweeping hillsides while looking for late season mule deer in thick brush.
If you're looking for a new spotter this year, this glass deserves careful consideration and is worthy to be viewed alongside the most expensive spotters on the market." - Jerrod Lile, Huntin' Fool CEO and Hunt Advisor
