Thread: Leupold sx4 hd 15-45 spotting scope - any one running this ?

Any one have one of these or had a chance to use one ? Any good ?

@chainsaw I run one what do you want to know?
only can say it is clearer then the sx2 Ive had it next to, might of been 800m i could count points with the sx4 and the sx2 you could tell it had good length and that was it
Ive never used another top range spotter
A phone scope is a must in my opinion

Thanks @bigbear, wanting to understand optical performance (clarity) & capabilities. Your post above re counting points @ 800 yds is a good indication. How did you find low light performance? I’m after compact scope, hence 60-65mm objective. Of course this won’t suck in as much light as a 80mm but no way I want to haul a big, heavy spotter around the hills. And similarly I don’t expect Swaro or other alpha glass performance, but do want good optical performance. The other one I’m considering is the Delta compact spotter.

@chainsaw What did you end up doing?

Waiting to win lotto LOL. Have decided there are a couple of candidates that tick most boxes. The SX4 HD2 & Delta Ti 15-45x65 or perhaps often Viper spotting scope 60 or 65 mm. If one comes up 4 sale 2nd hand & in good nick at right price I’d be seriously tempted.
