Excellent glass. Only used at 200 yard rifle range so far. Based on many other Leupold products I own, I don't have any concerns about quality.

I have two of these

I have two of these scopes on my . 308 and 6. 5 Grendel AR platform hunting rifles. I have the duplex with fire dot reticle on both scopes. I shot two deer last year at 160 yards. I have older eyes with corrected vision. Both shots were right where I aimed. The glass is clear and the side focus and fire dot made both relatively easy shots. I am very pleased with this scope and I would highly recommend this scope for hunting.

Versatile, great clarity with red dot

I paired the VX-5HD 2-10X42 CDS-ZL2 Firedot with a 270. Perfect mag power for my hunting distances, but I've had fun shooting at steel silhouettes several times to 550 yds with solid fatal hits. On a recent hunt, I took a shot near sunset that would not have been possible without the Firedot. Optics clarity is amazing in all conditions. I'm looking for a scope to pair with a 360 Buckhammer for an upcoming IL trip, and it's hard to find an alternative to this all around scope. Perfect and practical.

This scope was purchased to

This scope was purchased to complete a light rifle build and it did NOT disappoint. Besides being light, the glass is spectacularly clear with no color degradation. Excellent in low light situations. The turret has nice tactical feel and the zero stop works perfectly. The crosshairs track very well.

Zero issues mounting and the same for holding zero. Clarity second to none. For my use side focus is a must and this scope has it with smooth operation. Also, I like the light gathering advantages of a 30mm tube. I am 75 years of age and Leupold scopes make up for age and bifocals. I could spend more but won't find better.

Solid light weight hunting scope.

Solid light weight hunting scope. Super clear, clearer than my Vortex Razor LHT and perfect repeatability. I've only had it out to 400 yards in the PNW low level light region of the States, but I'm very confident that I will have no problems out to 800yd in this low level light environment. My only issue is that I am unable to use Talley light weight style rings on a long or medium action to get the correct eye relief.

Beautiful scope! I had a little trouble getting the crosshairs to align using bubble levels but I got it figured out using a plumb bob instead of the level on the turret. Have not taken it to the range as of yet but soon. Mounted on a Tikka T3X 300 Win Mag.

About Leupold VX-5HD

FEATURED REVIEWS

Best in class by a long shot!!

By Axman

This is the latest addition to my Leupold family and man did they raise the bar. I have long favored the VX3 LR in 4.5x14x50 and own several in various reticle configurations. The features they loaded into this scope are top notch. The low light performance is second to none. CDS and zero lock are the icing on the cake. Born and raised in America. Buy American.

Leupold, why buy anything else?

By BTN

I've been buying Leupold for 25 years or so, used Leupold extensively in the Military over that time and can say that every product I have used has been Sailor, Marine, and Soldier proof and built to be precise before, during, and after rough use. The VX5HD is no exception. Crystal clear 30 mins before and after sun rise and set. Most importantly for me, this scope offers as much or more in quality and ability as higher priced competitors at a (at times significantly) lighter weight. Equally ...

Make every shot count with the high-quality 2-10x42 VX-5HD Riflescope in matte black, featuring a Duplex Reticle and a robust 30mm Tube Diameter. This durable and reliable riflescope is designed by Leupold, a leading manufacturer in the optics industry, ensuring superior performance and longevity.

The VX-5HD Riflescope boasts a High-Definition optical system, providing crystal-clear clarity for precise targeting. Its Twilight Max Light Management System enhances low-light performance, offering hunters a distinct advantage during the critical dawn and dusk hours when game is most active.

This versatile riflescope features covered pop-up windage and elevation dials for swift and accurate sight-in and effortless rezeroing. Its 2nd Generation Argon/Krypton Waterproofing incorporates our exclusive Argon/Krypton gas blend, significantly reducing the effects of thermal shock and gas diffusion inside the scope, surpassing even our proven nitrogen technology.

The 30mm maintube, crafted from 6061-T6 aircraft quality aluminum, offers exceptional strength and a broader range of windage and elevation adjustment. With a 5:1 Zoom Ratio, this riflescope provides a wide field of view at low power and precise target identification at high power.

The generous eyebox allows for rapid target acquisition, even at higher powers. It offers longer eye relief and a full clear sight picture that fills the eyepiece completely, providing edge-to-edge brightness and remarkable head position latitude.

Our Guard-Ion Rain Shedding Coating is not only extremely durable and scratch-resistant but also repels water, dirt, and fingerprints. The pop-up rezero adjustments ensure maximum adjustment range, precision, and instant re-zeroing.

The Twilight Max Light Management System optimizes light transmission in blue and red, balancing colors for the highest possible contrast and controlling glare with special mechanical structures. This allows you to discern fine details in dark shadows long after others have packed up.

The Twin Bias Spring Erector System exerts up to 30 percent more holding force on the erector, virtually eliminating erector system backlash and stress on the scope's vital internal workings, ensuring a longer lifespan.

Whether you're hunting or target shooting, the 2-10x42 VX-5HD Riflescope is a reliable choice for those seeking accuracy and versatility in their optics.
