What Makes This Different

The VX-5HD series features Leupold's Twilight Max HD Light Management System, transmitting up to 92% of available light for superior low-light performance. The CDS-ZL2 turret system provides tool-free zero reset and custom dial options matched to specific ballistics. Unlike standard hunting scopes, this model maintains precise tracking through 5x magnification range while delivering edge-to-edge clarity at all power settings.

Key Features

• 3-15x magnification range with 44mm objective lens for versatile applications
• CDS-ZL2 zero-lock turret system with audible/tactile clicks and revolution indicator
