Leupold 8x42mm Golden Ring HD Binocular Model # 62810 - gently used; excellent condition. Binocular has center focus, roof prism, phase coated glass and is 100% waterproof. Comes with carrying case, strap and manual. Made in USA. If you are familiar with the Leupold name, you already know their reputation. These are no longer made and difficult to find. You may ask why I am selling them? I have had two retinal detachments. Thank the Lord I can see again after being partially blind, but my thick shooting glasses now require a lower magnification binocular with longer eye relief in order to obtain a reasonable field of view.

Asking $575. I will ship insured to lower 48 states for additional $25. I don't get a chance to check my account often, so if you're interested or need more information, please contact me with text message at 814.449.1768. Thanks for looking and Happy New Year to all!

Hi, Dave,

I hope you sell your binos. However, for a time Leupold ASSEMBLED two pocket models from Asian parts. They do not now—nor have they ever— MANUFACTURED binoculars.

That said, if it's collimated, it's a very nice instrument. :cat:

FWIW Albinos ranks the Leupold 8x32 Gold Ring 3rd in the 8x32 category. (They did not test the 8x42 Gold Ring.)

Hi, Bob:

I would accept, "perfect for all PRACTICAL purposes." But "perfect" is a misnomer. 3 At least they spelled BaK4 correctly, as opposed to bak4, Bak 4, BAK 4, BAK4, and "Back 4." Sadly, for some of the people, who are most ardent about technical accuracy, when it comes to glass types ... one size fits all. Pity, really. But, as we have seen, especially lately, some people are willing to seek adoration for proffering their erroneous opinions. :cat:
