Leupold VX-5HD 2-10x42mm CDS-ZL2 Illuminated FireDot Duplex Scope

The Leupold VX-5HD 2-10x42mm delivers exceptional optical clarity and precision adjustment capabilities for serious hunters and precision shooters. This advanced riflescope combines Leupold's proven reliability with modern illumination technology and custom turret systems.

What Makes This Different

The VX-5HD features Leupold's Twilight Max HD Light Management System, transmitting up to 92% of available light for superior low-light performance. The Custom Dial System Zero Lock 2 (CDS-ZL2) provides precise elevation adjustments with audible and tactile clicks, while the zero-stop feature prevents over-rotation past your zero point. Unlike standard hunting scopes, this model includes side-focus parallax adjustment for enhanced accuracy at varying distances.

Key Features

• 2-10x magnification range with 42mm objective lens for versatile hunting applications
• 30mm main tube construction provides increased adjustment range and light transmission
• Illuminated FireDot Duplex reticle with 8 brightness settings plus off positions
• CDS-ZL2 elevation turret with zero-lock and custom dial capabilities
• Side-focus parallax adjustment from 50 yards to infinity
• Waterproof, fogproof construction with nitrogen purging
• Matte black anodized finish reduces glare and provides corrosion resistance

Field testing demonstrates consistent tracking accuracy and reliable return-to-zero performance across temperature extremes. The illuminated reticle performs effectively in dawn and dusk conditions when game animals are most active. The 2-10x magnification range handles shots from dense timber at close range to open country at extended distances. The robust 30mm tube withstands heavy recoil from magnum cartridges while maintaining zero.
