The Leupold VX-5HD 3-15x44mm delivers exceptional optical clarity and precision tracking for long-range shooting applications. This premium riflescope combines advanced HD glass technology with Leupold's proven mechanical reliability to provide consistent performance across varied shooting conditions.
What Makes This Different
The VX-5HD series incorporates Leupold's proprietary Twilight Max HD Light Management System, transmitting up to 92% of available light for superior low-light performance. The 30mm main tube provides 25% more internal adjustment range compared to standard 1-inch tubes. Custom Dial System Zero Lock 2 (CDS-ZL2) turrets offer tool-free adjustments with audible clicks and a locking mechanism to prevent accidental movement during transport.
Key Features
- HD glass with Twilight Max coating delivers 92% light transmission
- 5:1 zoom ratio (3-15x magnification) covers close to extended ranges
- 44mm objective lens optimizes light gathering and exit pupil diameter
- CDS-ZL2 turrets provide precise 1/4 MOA adjustments with zero-stop functionality
- Side focus parallax adjustment from 50 yards to infinity
- Impact-29 MOA reticle features holdover marks for quick range estimation
- 30mm tube diameter maximizes internal adjustment travel
Field testing demonstrates consistent tracking accuracy with repeatable return-to-zero performance after multiple adjustment cycles. The scope maintains zero retention through temperature variations and recoil stress from magnum cartridges. Side focus eliminates parallax error at varying distances, critical for precision shooting beyond 200 yards. The matte black finish reduces glare and provides corrosion resistance in harsh weather conditions.
