Best service rifle sope ever!!!

I've been shooting one of these for a year now after 20+ years on irons. In conjuction with a WOA ghost ring lens I'm back to my previous level. The circle of the ghost ring, the Bull-ring, the circle of the target, and the Firedot inside it makes it like a video game, line em up and shoot an X, circle in a circle in a circle with a pin point dot. Shot a 9x sitting the last match. Its really too bad they're discontinuing this unless they come out with a 4.5 fixed bull-ring Firedot. I LOVE THIS SCOPE!

Great optic for Service Rifle

Great optic for Service Rifle matches. I have used it at a couple regional matches and Camp Perry. The circle with dot works well for me and my standing scores have improved.

Seems very nice, cannot say much as I haven't mounted it yet. Maybe I can alter this review in the spring.

Poor elevation design

Once the scope is zeroed you cannot bring the bullet impact down. i.e. a 200yd zero cannot be adjusted with recalibrating the elevation cap.

VX-4.5HD Service Rifle 1-4.5x24mm CDS-ZL2

The erector system broke with in three weeks. Leupold customer service took care of the problem in no time with amazing customer service at no charge to me. New one is working and has been working like it should. If it wasnt for the prompt customer service I would give it 2 stars. Love my Leupolds and LOVE the Leopold team. Best Regards Robert

Top on the line competitive optic

I am a high power rifle competitor and have been using another scope for the past couple years. During the 2019 competitive shooting season I switched to the Leupold fx-4.5hd 4.5x24 service rifle optic. I like the scope and prefer it over all other scopes. During the NRA national matches I won two of the standing matches with scores of 200-9X and 197-9X. I have won several other shooting competitions using this scope and highly recommend it to any and all competitive shooters. The scope is crystal clear, easy to see the reticle from the 200, 300, and 600 yard line, and tracks precisely each time.

Yes

I purchased this scope for High Power Rifle competition. The scope is a excellent and rugged, precision instrument. I've never shot better!

Fantastic service rifle scope for ATC competition

Excellent service rifle scope. I wasn't sure I'd like the bull-post reticle but I've found I shoot quite well with it. Glass is super clear and the zero stop on both the elevation and windage are awesome. Definitely recommend if you want a variable power service rifle scope for ATC competition or mid range service rifle competition.

Leupold is my "go to" brand of scope!

I just purchased this scope for a new AR-15 that I put together. Leupold is the only brand of scope that I have purchased for many years and I am never disappointed with them. They are not the cheapest on the market but as the old saying goes "you get what you pay for". I feel that Leupold Scopes are a great value. The optics are bright clear and the tracking of the adjustments is very accurate. I'm retired now and don't do much more than plinking and an annual prairie dog hunt but I still buy Leupold when I need a new scope!

Great scope but...

This is a great scope and I'm happy with it except I think it could use a white dot on the reticle post so you can get a very fine zero on the x . I'm sure it's costing me points in matches. Black reticle and a black target makes it harder to get a good sight picture...

VX-4.5HD 1-4.5x24 Service Rifle Scope

This scope has a very high quality glass and the bull ring post reticle is simple and very precise. The ring is the same size the NF SR2 ring, "the black just fits inside the ring on a service rifle target." The turrets are low and a large diameter with a very nice indexing feel from one click to the next for precise adjustments. The Zero-Lock dial system is nice but once you set it, you can not make down adjustments beyond the Zero-Lock set point. This is a problem for guys that shoot 100 yard reduced course and want to maintain a 200 yard zero. Overall this is a very high quality scope that you will see a lot more of at Perry.

Great optic for Service Rifle

By James D.

I really like the extra

By Vincent H.

I really like the extra .5 magnification over my VX-R service rifle scope.

See better. Shoot better. Score better. The VX-4.5HD Service Rifle scope gives you the edge you need to win more matches. It delivers bright, edge-to-edge image sharpness at 4.5x magnification - the highest magnification allowed for NRA Service Rifle competitions. At its low power, the true 1x magnification's flat, true-to-life image makes off hand shooting quick and easy. Combine that with our new Bull-Ring reticle, developed in partnership with many of the top Service Rifle competitors, and you'll be able to quickly center on the bullseye, every time. And like all other Leupold rifle scopes, the VX-4.5HD Service Rifle optic is Guaranteed for Life.

Features

FireDot Illumination
Creates a visible aiming point in low-light conditions with available FireDot illumination

Fast-Focus Eyepiece
Brings the reticle into focus quickly with Fast-Focus eyepiece

Punisher Tested
Each scope design has to survive 5,000 impacts on the Punisher, Leupold's recoil simulation machine. The force of each impact is 3x the recoil of a .308 rifle. If the scope doesn't perform in any way during the tests, we make adjustments to the design and test it again.

Rear Focal Plane (RFP)
Rear focal plane reticles remain fine and minimally cover the target at high power. Subtensions change with zoom, allowing tuning of ballistic reticles.

Ultra-Lightweight Design
Disperses recoil energy for unrivalled durability and performance with ultra-lightweight construction

30mm Maintube
The 30mm maintube offers incredible strength and increased range of windage and elevation adjustment.

Waterproof & Fogproof
Absolute waterproof and fogproof integrity means it's ready to perform in the field, in all conditions.

Guard-Ion Lens Coating
Sheds dirt and water for clear, crisp images with the Guard-ion lens coating

CDS-ZL2
Eliminates accidental dial movement with the push-button ZeroLock system while providing two revolutions of adjustment
