In addition to the new Golden Ring configurations I also noticed that Leupold has upgraded the Cascades and Katmais to include phase coating on the prisms. They also introduced a waterproof porro prism version of the Cascade complete with internal focusing. I hope to be able to check out the local retail store in the next week or so to see these new upgrades and additions.

Where are you seeing this information? I was unable to find anything about this on the Leupold website.

lucznik,

It is listed in the Cabelas Spring Master Catalog. I will see if I can scan the page this afternoon and post it.

The newer configurations of the Golden Rings are already up on the Cabelas website but the new Katmais and Cascades weren't listed as of yesterday.

Ah Ha! That's why I couldn't find the info. I haven't received my Spring Master Catalog yet. Now, I'll have something to look forward to examining when it arrives.

It's funny that Leupold does not seem to have updated their own website to reflect these changes.

Thanks, FrankD

I got my catalog today. Those golden rings are aptly named. They will set you back nearly 1000 bucks!

Note funky evaluation of Leupold Cascade 10X42 Phase Coated Bin in Cascade Porro specific thread.

I just went to a local store to compare these to the Nikon Monarch ATB 10X40 and came out of the store with the Leupold - both were the same price...$299. The Leupold was the clear winner of my comparisson...and an awesome glass.
