The Leupold VX-5HD Gen 2 3-15x44 is a premium, all-purpose optic designed for hunters who refuse to choose between a lightweight mountain scope and a high-precision long-range system. The biggest "friction point" in the backcountry is the tradeoff between bulk and capability. This scope resolves that conflict by packing a powerful 15x top-end zoom and a precision side focus into a nimble, 19.9-ounce package that won't weigh down your rifle on steep climbs.
The Gen 2 series introduces the SpeedSet elevation dial, a technical leap that allows you to re-zero your turret in the field without searching for a tiny Allen wrench. Paired with the Wind-Plex reticle, shooters can hold for wind and dial for elevation with competition-grade accuracy. The Professional-Grade Optical System ensures that your image stays sharp and high-contrast even when the sun is low on the horizon, cutting through the glare that washes out lesser glass.
Machined from 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, this scope is built to survive the heavy recoil of magnum calibers and the inevitable bumps of a rugged hunt. It features an integrated throw lever for instant magnification changes and Guard-Ion lens coatings to shed rain and dirt, ensuring your sight picture stays clear in the worst weather. Made in the USA and backed by a lifetime guarantee, the VX-5HD Gen 2 is the definitive upgrade for hunters who live for the challenge of the open country.
