Great scope, great visual quality. Works as expected. Only wish scope caps, sized to the scope, were a convenient check out option upon purchase.

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.

Clear optic all the way into the edge and usability of the wind-plex reticle is great without being to busy.

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.

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 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.

Awesome scope! So excited for this come hunting season. The gold ring just make's the gun look amazing. I've owned 2 leupold scopes now and I'll never be going anywhere else.

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. 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.

Unreal glass quality. Very well made. A lot lighter than i would have thought, too.

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.

Excellent optic. Crystal clear, easy to use. Can't wait to figure out what grain bullet my rifle likes the best so I can order the custom dial.

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?

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 ...

Discover the unparalleled optical performance of the VX-5HD 2-10x42 Riflescope, now bundled with the ALTA PRO 2+ 264AB 4-Section Aluminum Tripod. This riflescope is engineered to elevate your hunting experience with its High-Definition optical system, delivering sharpened clarity and precision. Equipped with the Twilight Max Light Management System, it enhances low-light performance, providing hunters with a significant advantage during dawn and dusk when game is most active.
The innovative CDS-ZL2 (Custom Dial System ZeroLock 2) elevation dial is designed to prevent accidental adjustments, ensuring your settings remain intact. With a simple button press, you can dial up two turns of elevation, and the button's recessed position on the second revolution indicates extended range adjustments, allowing you to maintain your place effortlessly. The covered pop-up windage dial facilitates quick and accurate sight-in, along with easy rezeroing.
Each VX-5HD CDS-ZL2 riflescope purchase includes a complimentary Custom Ballistic Dial, enhancing your shooting precision. The FireDot illuminated reticles offer daylight-bright, red dot-like performance, with a user-friendly one-button intensity adjustment. Featuring 2nd Generation Argon/Krypton Waterproofing, this scope utilizes a proprietary gas blend to minimize thermal shock effects and reduce gas diffusion, surpassing traditional nitrogen technology.
Constructed with a robust 30mm maintube, the VX-5HD provides exceptional strength and an extensive range of windage and elevation adjustments. Its 5:1 zoom ratio offers a versatile magnification range, ensuring a wide field of view at low power and precise target identification at high power. Made from 6061-T6 aircraft-quality aluminum, this riflescope is built to withstand the rigors of the field.
The CDS-ZL2 Zero Lock Adjustment with Revolution Indicator allows for quick sight-in and target range settings, with up to 38MOA elevation adjustment. The FireDot Illumination technology combines powered fiber optics for optimal light transmission and contrast in low-light conditions. The generous eyebox ensures rapid target acquisition, providing a full, clear sight picture with edge-to-edge brightness, even at higher magnifications.
The Guard-Ion rain-shedding coating enhances durability, resisting scratches while repelling water, dirt, and fingerprints. Proprietary MST (Motion Sensor Technology) conserves battery life by deactivating illumination after 5 minutes of inactivity, reactivating instantly upon movement detection. The pop-up rezero windage adjustment is tool-free, with a protective aluminum cover for added security.
The Twilight Max Light Management System optimizes light transmission, balancing colors for maximum contrast and controlling glare with specialized mechanical structures. This ensures visibility of fine details, such as antler tines in shadows, long after others have left the field. The Twin Bias Spring Erector System applies up to 30% more holding force, virtually eliminating backlash and stress on the scope's internal components, ensuring longevity and reliability.
Enhance your shooting experience with the VX-5HD 2-10x42 Riflescope and ALTA PRO 2+ 264AB Tripod bundle, designed for hunters who demand precision and performance.
