Leupold Launches the BX-2 Timberline HD Binocular
Leupold just added the BX-2 Timberline HD to the binocular lineup, and the pricing answers the question most hunters will have right away. The 10×42 runs $199.99 and the 12×50 comes in at $249.99. Both are backed by Leupold’s lifetime guarantee and built around their Advanced Optical System, slotting in below the BX-3 Alpine HD that launched earlier this year.

The roof prism design keeps the package compact. Ultra-rugged armor housing handles field use without careful handling. A large tactile focus wheel covers fast adjustments, and the twist-up eyecups are replaceable rather than fixed, which matters when you are buying glass you plan to keep for a while. The 1/4-20 threaded tripod adapter ships in the box, which most binoculars at this price either leave out entirely or sell separately. For anyone who glasses from sticks for any length of time, having it included is one less thing to track down.

- Design: Roof prism
- Housing: Ultra-rugged armor
- Focus: Large tactile wheel
- Eyecups: Replaceable twist-up
- Tripod adapter: 1/4-20 threaded, included

BX-2 Timberline HD 12×50 – $249.99
- All features of the 10×42
- Larger objective for low-light and open-country glassing
The 10×42 is the all-around configuration and will cover most hunting situations. The 12×50 gives you more magnification and a larger objective for open-country glassing and western hunting where the extra reach gets used. Fifty dollars separates the two. The Leupold lifetime guarantee covers the BX-2 Timberline HD the same as everything else in the lineup, and at $199.99 that backing means something. If the glass fails for any reason, at any point, Leupold covers it. For hunters shopping value-tier glass, that guarantee changes the conversation in a way that pure spec comparisons do not.
