Do you know the size of the new eyecups vs the size of the current eyecups ?
I don't know anymore than what I mentioned in the initial post.
Sorry.

I called Leupold and they told me the following for the McKinley 8x42, current eyecup diameter = 47mm, new design eyecup diameret= 41mm
That would put the new model just like many others are at.
41mm is common among many Zeiss and Nikon models I
just checked.
That sounds like a good move on their part.

Jerry,
What effect does reducing the eyecup diameter have on the image itself?
I really liked the original but I know some people had issues with odd blackouts and whatnot.
All the best,

Jerry and Steve,
I guess what I meant by my question was whether modifying the eyecup diameter would alleviate issues with the blackouts that had been oft-reported.

Hi,
I looked thru a pair of the new McKinley today, a 10x42 was all they had. The optics seemed decent but the ergos of this binocular didn't work with my hands or face.

If it was a binocular with large eye pieces and a right eye diopter it is not the new one. If it has the diopter on the center focus, it was probably the new one. My source is the McKinley project manager.
No. I'm not referring the the incorrect Mojave spelling . Guys who do web pages typically don't know enough about the optics to have a clue if what they are inputting into the site is accurate or not. That is a problem at some level with lots of optics outfits. For what little it is likely worth, the Bass Pro webpage has the original McKinley illustrated.

I was back at bass pro yesterday and looked at the bx4 mckinley.
It is the old version. I was mis-informed. :C
Please disregard my prior post.
My bad... my apologies.
