Leupold VX-5HD 3-15x56mm Riflescope FireDot 4 Illuminated Reticle

The Leupold VX-5HD 3-15x56mm delivers exceptional low-light performance with its large 56mm objective lens and advanced HD optical system. This premium riflescope combines Leupold's proven reliability with modern illuminated reticle technology for precision shooting across varied conditions.

What Makes This Different

The VX-5HD series represents Leupold's flagship hunting optic, featuring Guard-Ion lens coatings that provide 92% light transmission - significantly higher than standard coatings found on competing scopes. The 30mm main tube offers 25% more internal adjustment range compared to 1-inch tubes, while the twilight-bright optical system extends shooting hours into dawn and dusk periods when game is most active.

Key Features

• 3-15x magnification range with 56mm objective lens for maximum light gathering
• Illuminated FireDot 4 reticle with 11 brightness settings plus off positions
• 30mm main tube construction provides 70 MOA elevation and 50 MOA windage adjustment
• Guard-Ion lens coating delivers 92% light transmission and scratch resistance
• Side Focus parallax adjustment from 50 yards to infinity
• Waterproof to 1 meter depth and nitrogen-filled for fog-proof performance
• Compatible with standard 30mm scope rings and Picatinny rail systems

Field testing demonstrates consistent tracking accuracy across the full adjustment range, with repeatable return-to-zero performance after temperature cycling. The illuminated FireDot 4 reticle provides precise holdover points for extended range shooting while remaining visible in both bright daylight and low-light conditions. The scope maintains optical clarity at maximum magnification without edge distortion or chromatic aberration.
