Excellent scope! I put this on a Browning x-bolt 2, SPR, cal. 6. 8 Western. Sighting this scope in was very easy. First use was on a moose in Newfoundland, at 230yds the moose was easy to find and was spot on. One shot put the moose down.

Quality, design, performance and warranty

Quality, design, performance and warranty is the best in the industry. The glass is crystal clear and the scope performs extremely well in low light. The Custom Dial System is a huge bonus and it's simple, fast and accurate.

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!

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 ...

While the VX-5HD 4-20x52 Riflescope epitomizes the essence of versatility and precision, it is engineered to elevate your hunting and shooting experience to unprecedented levels. This high-quality optic is designed with a robust 30mm tube and features a second focal plane Duplex reticle, renowned for its bold posts that enhance visibility against dense cover and in dim light, coupled with a fine crosshair for unobstructed targeting at the center.

The advanced Twilight Max HD Light Management System sets this riflescope apart, offering unparalleled clarity and brightness in challenging lighting conditions. It extends your shooting light by up to 30 minutes and significantly reduces glare, providing an edge over competitors by eliminating 90% more glare-producing stray light. The premium high-definition, edge-to-edge lens clarity ensures that every detail of your target is sharp and vivid.

Accuracy is further refined with the side parallax focus feature, which mitigates parallax error, enhancing your precision over long distances. The reliable ZL2 Custom Dial System allows for custom ballistic adjustments, while the innovative ZeroLock system prevents accidental dial movement, securing your settings against the harshest of movements.

For those seeking a durable and reliable companion in the field, the VX-5HD's Guard-ion lens coating repels water and dirt, ensuring your view remains clear in all conditions. The FireDot illumination creates a visible aiming point even in low-light scenarios, while the Motion Sensor Technology conserves battery life by deactivating the illumination after a period of inactivity.

The Fast-Focus eyepiece brings the reticle into sharp focus swiftly, allowing for quick target acquisition. The riflescope's superior ruggedness is backed by Leupold's rigorous Punisher testing process, ensuring it can withstand the most severe recoil and maintain its structural integrity. Its ultra-lightweight construction disperses recoil energy effectively, providing unrivaled durability.

Designed to be waterproof and fogproof, the VX-5HD riflescope promises unwavering performance in any weather condition. Whether you are embarking on a hunting expedition or honing your marksmanship at the range, this advanced, accurate, and high-quality riflescope is ready to accompany you on your next adventure, ensuring that every shot counts.
