I put this on a an X Bolt in . 308 Win. and I couldn't be happier with the quality of the glass! The fire dot will be a game changer in the low light of the Pacific Northwest forests I frequently hunt. Looking forward to putting it to work this fall.

As an avid hunter and long-range shooter, I've put the VX-5HD 3-15x44 through a wide variety of conditions, from open-country mule deer hunts in Nevada to more rugged mountain terrain. The optical clarity is exceptional-crisp edge-to-edge and reliable even in low-light conditions, which has made a significant difference during early morning glassing and late-evening shot opportunities. The CDS-ZL2 elevation dial is one of the standout features. The custom dial system is simple to use and incredibly accurate once matched to your ballistics. The ZeroLock 2 system provides a dependable return to zero and adds confidence when dialing in for extended shots. The side focus parallax adjustment is smooth and intuitive, offering rapid target clarity at various distances. Another major advantage is the Illuminated FireDot Duplex reticle. It strikes a perfect balance between simplicity and functionality, making target acquisition quick without excessive distraction. The illumination is daylight-bright when needed and easily adjustable for dim conditions. If there's one area for improvement, it would be helpful to see Leupold include an auto-off or motion-sensing illumination shutoff to extend battery life. That said, battery usage has still proven efficient in my experience. Overall, the VX-5HD is a versatile, rugged, and high-performance optic that I trust in the field. It delivers everything I need for ethical and accurate shots on game-and then some. - Hal McGill, Nevada

I mounted this scope on a Weatherby 307 in 6. 5 Creedmoor. It took me 12 shots to have them touching at 100 yards without bore sighting. Love the scope. Looking forward to years of great shooting. There is no other scope brand I'll have on a rifle.

Great scope, great visual quality. Works as expected. Only wish scope caps, sized to the scope, were a convenient check out option upon purchase.

Excellent glass. Only used at 200 yard rifle range so far. Based on many other Leupold products I own, I don't have any concerns about quality.

Clear optic all the way into the edge and usability of the wind-plex reticle is great without being to busy.

I have two of these scopes on my . 308 and 6. 5 Grendel AR platform hunting rifles. I have the duplex with fire dot reticle on both scopes. I shot two deer last year at 160 yards. I have older eyes with corrected vision. Both shots were right where I aimed. The glass is clear and the side focus and fire dot made both relatively easy shots. I am very pleased with this scope and I would highly recommend this scope for hunting.

I paired the VX-5HD 2-10X42 CDS-ZL2 Firedot with a 270. Perfect mag power for my hunting distances, but I've had fun shooting at steel silhouettes several times to 550 yds with solid fatal hits. On a recent hunt, I took a shot near sunset that would not have been possible without the Firedot. Optics clarity is amazing in all conditions. I'm looking for a scope to pair with a 360 Buckhammer for an upcoming IL trip, and it's hard to find an alternative to this all around scope. Perfect and practical.

This scope was purchased to complete a light rifle build and it did NOT disappoint. Besides being light, the glass is spectacularly clear with no color degradation. Excellent in low light situations. The turret has nice tactical feel and the zero stop works perfectly. The crosshairs track very well.

Zero issues mounting and the same for holding zero. Clarity second to none. For my use side focus is a must and this scope has it with smooth operation. Also, I like the light gathering advantages of a 30mm tube. I am 75 years of age and Leupold scopes make up for age and bifocals. I could spend more but won't find better.

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 ...
