Leupold 185679 SX-4 Pro Guide HD G2 Angled Body 20-60x 85mm Black

The Leupold SX-4 Pro Guide HD G2 angled spotting scope is built for serious glassing in the field—whether you're glassing from a ridge at first light, scanning prairie for antelope, or setting up for a long-range session. This 20-60x 85mm spotting scope combines premium optics with bulletproof durability in a package that handles extreme conditions without compromise. The angled eyepiece makes it naturally comfortable for tripod-mounted glassing from a sitting or prone position, letting you work glass for hours without neck strain.

At the heart of the SX-4 Pro Guide HD Gen 2 is Leupold's Elite Optical System: enhanced lens coatings cut glare on those blinding-bright mornings when your target is silhouetted against snow or water. The oversized eyepiece and generous eyebox mean less eye fatigue during marathon glassing sessions. A magnesium body with Guard-ion lens coating sheds dirt, dust, and moisture without sacrificing optical clarity. Leupold seals it all waterproof and fogproof—tested for the kind of abuse real field work throws at an optic.

The SX-4 Pro integrates an Arca-Swiss adapter, so you can move it between compatible tripod heads without fumbling with tools or worrying about lost connection. The interchangeable Form-Fit eyecup lets you dial in the fit that works for your eye. Ultra-smooth focus and scratch-resistant lenses keep the glass sharp and tough through seasons of use. You'll need to mount this scope to a tripod; the built-in threads and Arca-Swiss slot make that straightforward.

Frequently Asked Questions

What tripod do I need for the SX-4 Pro Guide HD G2 angled spotting scope?

This spotting scope requires a tripod for stable mounting. It includes an integrated Arca-Swiss adapter compatible with Arca-Swiss tripod heads, as well as built-in threads for direct mounting to standard ball heads or scope-specific tripods. Choose a tripod rated for the weight and height that matches your hunting or glassing setup.

Is the angled or straight eyepiece better for hunting?

Both angled and straight models are available—the choice depends on your preference. The angled eyepiece (this model) is popular for prone or sitting positions because it reduces neck strain during extended glassing sessions. A straight eyepiece works well for standing observation or when mounted higher on a vehicle.

What does the Guard-ion lens coating do?

Guard-ion is Leupold's protective lens coating that helps shed dirt, dust, rain, and scratches while maintaining optical clarity. It supports the Elite Optical System's glare-reduction and light-transmission performance in harsh field conditions.

Can I change the eyecup on this scope?

Yes. The SX-4 Pro Guide HD G2 features an interchangeable Form-Fit eyecup, allowing you to customize the fit and comfort to your eye. This is especially useful if multiple shooters use the scope or if you prefer a different viewing position.
