It's clear and fits great on the gun I mounted it on!

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 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.

I bought this b/c I thought it would be great for the inexperienced shooters in my family. Not sure if they like it or not, but it's my new personal favorite!

Very nice. I'd like to see some more affordable FFP options with long range shooting in mind.

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 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.

A decent scope but a expensive for what it is

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.

Very clear in low light conditions. Would buy again

Outstanding optic, just what the old 30. 06 needed. Able to reach out and touch, Firedot makes it so much better, thank you.

The scope is very clear even in low light. It works flawlessly and was easy to sight in my rifle. Looking forward to using it on an upcoming deer hunt.

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!

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 ...

After meticulous engineering, the 3-15x44 VX-5HD Riflescope emerges as a pinnacle of precision optics, designed for the discerning hunter and sharpshooter. Its matte black finish and robust 30mm tube diameter are just the beginning of its high-quality features. The Wind-Plex reticle, situated on the second focal plane, ensures accurate ranging and bullet drop compensation, making it a reliable choice for those who demand precision in their shooting endeavors.
The VX-5HD boasts a High-Definition optical system that brings unparalleled clarity to your visual field. Coupled with the Twilight Max Light Management System, this riflescope delivers exceptional low-light performance, granting users a critical advantage during the crucial dawn and dusk periods when game activity peaks.
Precision is further enhanced with the innovative Custom Dial System ZeroLock 2 (CDS-ZL2), which safeguards your elevation settings against inadvertent changes. A simple button press allows for swift adjustments, with a visual indicator on the second revolution to maintain your bearings for extended range accuracy. The integrated FireDot illumination system offers a bright, red dot-like performance, adjustable with a single button for optimal visibility in various lighting conditions.
Durability is a cornerstone of the VX-5HD's design, featuring 6061-T6 aircraft-quality aluminum construction for resilience against the elements. The scope's 5:1 zoom ratio provides a versatile magnification range, from a broad field of view at lower settings to detailed target identification at higher magnifications.
Leupold's exclusive Argon/Krypton waterproofing technology surpasses traditional nitrogen purging, significantly reducing the impact of thermal shock and gas diffusion. The generous eyebox ensures rapid target acquisition, while the Guard-Ion rain shedding coating repels water, dirt, and smudges, maintaining a clear view in adverse conditions.
The riflescope's Motion Sensor Technology (MST) conserves battery life by deactivating the illumination after a period of inactivity, yet instantly reactivates upon detecting movement. The pop-up Rezero windage adjustment and side focus parallax provide easy, tool-free fine-tuning, ensuring your shot is on target every time.
With the Leupold VX-5HD Riflescope, you are equipped with a ballistic aiming system that can adapt to various wind speeds and distances, enhancing your long-range shooting accuracy. The twin bias spring erector system applies formidable holding force, minimizing backlash and ensuring the longevity of the scope's internal mechanisms.
In summary, the 3-15x44 VX-5HD Riflescope is a testament to Leupold's commitment to quality, offering a durable, accurate, reliable, and versatile optical solution for hunters and marksmen who refuse to compromise on performance.
