This scope is made for anything and everything. Its 3-15 magnification range lets you take full advantage of any situation. Crank the power down to three for thick timber hunting, ratchet it up to 15 for your trek across the open plains, or go anywhere in-between during your range days. The VX-5HD 3-15x44 has the versatility to dominate them all.
The VX-5HD has everything you need and nothing you don’t. Leupold’s Guard-ion lens coating shed water and dirt, keeping your target clear even when the weather isn’t, while Leupold’s Twilight Max HD light management system delivers the maximum amount of usable light to your eye for unmatched low-light performance and clarity. With the two-turn CDS ZeroLock 2 adjustment (Leupold’s one-of-kind Custom Dial System), you’ll have the confidence to take long-range shots without worrying about holdovers. Take this riflescope out for the day, and you’ll quickly realize the VX-5HD is the lightest, most rugged 5:1 riflescope in its class and will never let you down.
2ND GENERATION ARGON/KRYPTON WATERPROOFING
Features our exclusive, proprietary Argon/Krypton gas blend, which nearly eliminates the effects of thermal shock, and reduces the diffusion of gases sealed inside your scope even more than our proven nitrogen technology already does.
GENEROUS EYEBOX
Get on target faster so you can take the shot of a lifetime. Even at higher powers, the longer eye relief and generous eyebox provides incredible head position latitude, edge-to-edge brightness, and a full clear sight picture that fills the eyepiece completely.
FIREDOT ILLUMINATION
Our powered fiber optic reticle technology provides the perfect blend of daylight illumination and optimal light transmission and contrast for low light hunting situations.
TWIN BIAS SPRING ERECTOR SYSTEM
The twin bias spring exerts up to 30 percent more holding force on the erector, virtually eliminating erector system backlash and stress on the vital internal workings of the scope, for longer life.
MST (MOTION SENSOR TECHNOLOGY)
Proprietary MST (Motion Sensor Technology) automatically deactivates illumination after 5 minutes of inactivity, yet reactivates instantly as soon as any movement is detected.
POP UP REZERO WINDAGE ADJUSTMENT
Pop Up Rezero windage adjustments are easily adjusted and the dial set to the zero mark with no tools needed. A thread-on aluminum cover conceals and protects the adjustment after setting.
CDS-ZL2 ZERO LOCK ADJUSTMENT WITH REVOLUTION INDICATOR
The CDS-ZL2 elevation adjustment dials easily for quick sight-in and to set for target ranges. Press the ZeroLock button to release and dial as much as 38MOA elevation. Dial back to zero and the lock snaps back into place automatically, ensuring correct re-zero and that the dial cannot accidentally move.
WIND-PLEX RETICLE
- Builds on the Leupold designed Duplex Reticle
- Aides in compensating for crosswinds
- 1 MOA is approximately 1 inch at 100 yards
- Hash marks are in 1 MOA (minute of angle) increments
- Marks extend to 10 MOA on each side
- Can be used with any caliber round
- Best utilized with our CDS (custom dial system)
