What difference would someone see between a non-HD Gold Ring versus an HD Gold Ring. I have the non-HD model and when I compare them to my Zeiss 8x42 Victory and the clarity of my 8x32 Leicas, these dang non-HD Gold Rings can hold their own pretty well. Thanks.
I'm not sure what the difference is tp, but I'm stoked to have finally located a mint 8x32 GR HD to buy. It's going to go with me to Africa in May. I've never seen this model personally, and can't wait to get it in my hands. I know the Allbinos review was very kind towards them.

Well, I wasn't disappointed. Received my 8x32 HD's yesterday, and spend the better part of the day getting used to everything. I'm still very, very impressed with the GR HD lineup, including this one.
Impressed with: eye relief is great, build quality is outstanding, focus wheel is butter smooth, love the eyecups (they stay in place), colors are vivid and jump out and get in your face!, close focus, accessories are great, diopter stays in place when set, very sharp, resolve very well, I like the IP locker, virtally no flare/exceptionally controlled, backed by Leupold's world famous service and warranty.
Wished were better: I could only find one....wish the focuser was slightly slower so I could lock into sharp focus quicker.
I have not much experience with 8x30 class stuff. They include the SLCneu and Viper HD. The GR's are best to my untrained, 52 yr old, unscientific eyes. Great stuff here.
I have a nearly-new, absolutely mint set of Leupold Golden Ring HD 8x32 bino's that I've been wanting to sell. They've never been in the field, but I did mount the strap. I got them for a hunt that never materialized. If you're interested, email me at [email protected] and I'll take some pics for you. We can work out a deal as my wife is bugging me to sell them.
Good deal Bryce!

Glad you got a good one Bryce. How is the diopter different?
