I spoke with a Leupold representative about that. He said the BX-4 and BX-5 series are both manufactured in Japan. I believe the components of the discontinued Golden Ring binoculars were also made in Japan. However, the Golden Ring binoculars were assembled in the USA after the components were shipped here. My current understanding is that the BX-5 series are a bit of a step up from the old (and sorely missed) Golden Rings even though they are completely outsourced.
Thank you. This was a nice quick presentation with no fluff. Cheers from NZ🇳🇿.
When will these be available on the Leupold site?
Made in the US?
Yeap in Beaverton Oregon
