The Leupold VX-5HD G2 3-15x44mm riflescope delivers precision optics for long-range shooting applications. This second-generation model features enhanced light transmission and crystal-clear glass throughout the magnification range. Built on a robust 30mm main tube, it provides reliable tracking and repeatable adjustments for demanding shooting scenarios.
What Makes This Different
The VX-5HD G2 incorporates Leupold's Twilight Max HD Light Management System, transmitting up to 92% of available light to the eye. The Custom Dial System (CDS) allows for personalized turret calibration based on specific ballistic data. Advanced lens coatings reduce glare and improve contrast in challenging lighting conditions, while the second-generation design offers improved mechanical reliability over previous models.
Key Features
- 3-15x magnification range with 44mm objective lens for versatile shooting applications
- 30mm aircraft-grade aluminum main tube provides superior strength and tracking precision
- Custom Dial System (CDS) turrets calibrated to specific ammunition and environmental conditions
- HTMR (Hunting and Tactical Mil Reticle) for precise holdover calculations
- Side Focus parallax adjustment from 50 yards to infinity
- Waterproof, fogproof construction with nitrogen purging
- Fast-focus eyepiece with generous 3.7-inch eye relief
Field performance remains consistent across temperature extremes from -40°F to +140°F. The scope maintains zero retention through heavy recoil and impact scenarios. Hunters appreciate the low-light capability during dawn and dusk periods, while tactical shooters benefit from the precise mil-based reticle system for range estimation and holdover calculations.
