With spotting scopes used for hunting or birding, weight and bulk are the enemy. This model is engineered to be lightweight and compact, without sacrificing optical quality. It also offers eye relief that is forgiving in the field and at the range. Even during extended use. Even for people who wear glasses. It is100% waterproof, and profoundly rugged.
The 12-40x60mm Variable Power Spotting Scope: A Design Masterpiece. The goal for the Leupold 12-40x60mm was to condense the attributes of bulky spotting scopes into a handier format, without sacrificing optical quality. This landmark instrument weighs just 36 ounces, thanks to its lightweight magnesium body that's covered with rubber armor. Equally critical, Leupold managed to keep the length down to just 11.5 inches.
This required them to invent the Folded Light Path optical design. A unique system of lenses and mirrors folds the light traveling through the scope into a "Z" shape. This Folded Light Path is 20 inches long. Yet it fits inside the 11.5 inch body, which itself fits easily inside fanny packs or saddle bags.
Three features of the 12-40x60mm combine to transmit an impressive 88% of available light to your eye: 1) Multicoat 4 anti-reflective coatings, 2) A light-absorbing interior finish that suppresses glare, 3) An efficient lens-and-mirror optical system.
