Just what I was looking for. Wanted a target dot and the illuminated dot does the trick. Little larger and heavier than I was expecting . Sighted in 3 shots and ready to go hunting. Needs to come with the flip up lens covers as 52mm covers are not easy to find. Only pev was after taking a few month to decide and receive this one out comes the Gen 2 two weeks later.

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 by far the best scope I've had. I will be buying another one for my other rifle.

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 ...

Overcome any shooting challenge with the 3-15x56 VX-5HD Series Riflescope, a high-quality, durable, and reliable piece of equipment designed for hunting or target shooting. This advanced riflescope, finished in matte black, is equipped with an illuminated second focal plane FireDot 4 Fine Reticle, ZL2 Custom Dial System, and side parallax focus.
The 30mm tube diameter of this riflescope ensures robustness and a wide range of windage and elevation adjustments. The second focal plane reticle provides accurate ranging and bullet drop compensation, enhancing your shooting precision. The side parallax focus feature eliminates parallax error, further improving the accuracy of your shots.
The VX-5HD Series Riflescope is designed for versatility, with a wide magnification range that allows adaptability to any environment. The Twilight Max HD Light Management System is purpose-built for the toughest lighting conditions, adding up to 30 extra minutes of shooting light and eliminating 90% more glare-producing stray light than competitors.

The riflescope is waterproof and fogproof, ensuring its readiness to perform in all conditions. The FireDot Illumination creates a visible aiming point in low-light conditions, while the Motion Sensor Technology (MST) extends battery life by deactivating illumination after 5 minutes of inactivity and reactivating instantly upon detecting movement.
