Leupold VX-5HD Rifle Scope 3-15x44mm Side Focus Wind-Plex Reticle LU171715

Imagine standing on a cold mountain ridge as the first light of dawn pushes through the horizon. A buck steps out nearly a quarter mile away, calm and unaware. Hours later, you’re deep in tight timber where only fast, instinctive shots matter. The Leupold VX-5HD Rifle Scope 3-15x44mm Side Focus Wind-Plex Reticle is the single optic built to master both extremes—long-range precision and close-quarters speed—without ever holding you back. It’s the scope designed for hunters who refuse to compromise, forged from American craftsmanship and tested by unforgiving terrain. With its rugged build, extraordinary clarity, and truly adaptable zoom ratio, the VX-5HD isn’t just along for the hunt; it elevates every moment of it.

Built for demanding shooters and unpredictable environments, the VX-5HD brings together premium high-definition glass, advanced light management, and a versatile 5:1 zoom range. From open ridges to shadowed hardwoods, it delivers crisp detail, a generous field of view, and confident target acquisition. Its intuitive CDS-ZL2 elevation system allows you to dial for distance without losing your zero, and the Wind-Plex reticle gives you predictable wind hold-offs for real-world shot scenarios. Every component is optimised for reliability, clarity, and precision.

This scope is a trusted tool for big-game hunters who need reach and speed, precision shooters who demand exact adjustments, and outdoorsmen who need a lightweight optic that handles the elements without compromise. Backed by Leupold’s lifetime guarantee and built in the USA, the VX-5HD is engineered to outperform season after season.
