This is the 3rd VX5HD that I have purchased. In my opinion this is the best overall scope made. It covers everything a hunter could need. As always Leupold quality is second to none.

Absolutely love this scope! I

Absolutely love this scope! I put it on a Browning X-Bolt 2 Speed chambered in a 6. 5 PRC. I am using a rangefinder bino with Applied Ballistics so I haven't had the need to get a custom dial yet and the pair are performing phenomenally! I will most likely get a couple dials made once my barrel is broke in but for now I'm confident in my current setup.

Easy zeroing

I recently zeroed my newly purchased Leupold VX-5HD 3-15x56 scope on a Tikka T3x Hunter chambered in 9. 3x62, equipped with a powerful Anima Libra suppressor. The scope was mounted using Warne components - both the rail and rings - ensuring a solid and precise setup. Zeroing was performed at 100 meters with a point of aim approximately 4-5 cm above the bore axis. From the factory setting, I needed 35 clicks up and 4 clicks to the right. The scope responded predictably and accurately - just two shots were enough to zero, with the rest fired for confirmation. The optical clarity, light transmission, and turret precision are outstanding. The VX-5HD inspires confidence from the very first use. So far, everything looks extremely promising - I'm looking forward to testing it further in real hunting conditions. Thank you, Leupold, for delivering a truly high-performance product.

Second 2-10 and my second 35 Whelen, a perfect combination. 2x is excellent for moving through heavy timber, with 10x plenty for longer shots. Of course by the time you read this the Gen IIs will be available, but if you can still find an older one, it is absolutely well worth it.

This VX-5HD scope is a crucial hunting tool! I can't express enough how important the Twilight Max technology is, and the simplicity and ease of use. I love having the FireDot reticle for a great lowlight reference to shoot in lower light conditions with a dark target and backdrop. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone with an important hunt!

Leupold is best hunting scope in world

I just bought my six VX-5HD scope. This is the best hunting scope on the market. I am 59 yoa and have hunted all my life. I have used every type of gun and scope out there. The VX-5HD is my scope of choice. The light transmission and clarity are best in the world. I like the VX-5HD better than my Swarovski scopes.

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.
