I've been browsing spotters for the last few days and just found out that Leupold has updated a few models for 2016.
The one that has caught my attention is the new Gold Ring 20-60x80mm with Impact Reticle. Thought I would share it here:
The scope weighs in at 3.8 lbs, so it is on the heavy end but fits in with most 60 power spotters. All of the specs are similar to what is offered by the Vortex Razor HD 20-60x85 and I will post them below.
The reticle is placed in the first focal plane and is a MOA grid with circles along the top and left side spaced 1 milliradian apart to assist in ranging. It should provide a lot for hunters and conventional scope users wanting the visual reference for shot calling, trophy scoring and some ranging.
Another new feature Leupold is using this year is called the Xtended Twilight Lens System. A coating used to enhance blue and violet light transmission for enhanced clarity during low-light situations.
