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 ...

The 3-15x56 VX-5HD Riflescope, presented in a sleek matte black finish, is a high-quality, durable, and advanced optical tool designed to elevate your hunting or target shooting experience. This riflescope boasts an illuminated FireDot Duplex Reticle, enhancing your accuracy even in low-light conditions.

Engineered with a High-Definition optical system, this riflescope sharpens clarity, providing you with a crystal-clear view of your target. It also features the Twilight Max Light Management System, specifically designed to optimize low-light performance, offering hunters a significant advantage during dawn and dusk when game is most active.

The riflescope incorporates the innovative CDS-ZL2 (Custom Dial System ZeroLock 2) elevation dial, a feature that locks in place to prevent accidental rotation off zero. With a simple press of a button, you can dial up two turns of elevation, if necessary. This system includes a unique second revolution indicator, ensuring you never lose your place when dialing for extended ranges.

The 30mm maintube, crafted from 6061-T6 aircraft quality aluminum, offers exceptional strength and a greater range of windage and elevation adjustment. The 5:1 zoom ratio provides a versatile magnification range, offering a wide field of view at low power and precise target identification at high power.

The riflescope is equipped with a side parallax focus, designed for fast and easy parallax focusing from any shooting position. This feature helps to eliminate parallax error, significantly improving the overall accuracy of your shot.

The FireDot Illumination system provides daylight bright, red dot-like performance with a user-friendly one-button intensity adjustment. This powered fiber optic reticle technology ensures optimal light transmission and contrast for low light hunting situations.

Additional features include the Guard-Ion rain shedding coating for durability and protection against water, dirt, and fingerprints, and the MST (Motion Sensor Technology) which automatically deactivates illumination after 5 minutes of inactivity, reactivating instantly upon detecting any movement.

The 3-15x56 VX-5HD Riflescope, with its advanced features and reliable performance, is a valuable addition to any hunter or target shooter's gear.
