Versatile Precision: Leupold’s VX-5HD 3-15×44 CDS-ZL2 Side Focus Riflescope

When you pursue whitetails in a wide variety of terrain, in all kinds of weather conditions, at unpredictable distances, you need one riflescope that is up to the task — no matter the circumstances. That’s where the Leupold VX®-5HD 3-15x44mm CDS-ZL2 Side Focus Scope excels — it’s made for anything and everything. Its 3-15x magnification range lets you take full advantage of any situation. Turn the power down to 3x for thick timber hunting, crank it up to 15x for your trek across the open plains, or go anywhere in between. This scope has the versatility to dominate them all.

The VX-5HD defines relentless versatility. Its wide magnification ranges give hunters and shooters the ability to adapt to any environment. Built around Leupold’s Professional-Grade Optical System, it offers unmatched light transmission that’s designed to outperform in the most challenging lighting conditions. Its industry leading glare reduction provides a clear image in harsh, direct light, while the resolution and clarity will meet the demands of any professional guide or shooter in the field. High-definition, calcium-fluoride lenses ensure incredible clarity at all magnification levels. Plus, Guard-Ion hydrophobic lens coating sheds dirt and water for a maintenance-free, clear, crisp image.

And when it’s time to pull the trigger, you’ll want the accuracy and additional elevation the CDS® ZeroLock® 2 dials provide with two revolutions of elevation adjustment, while eliminating accidental dial movement with the push-button ZeroLock system. It also features Leupold’s award-winning Custom Dial System® (CDS®), which allows shooters to order a laser-marked bullet-drop dial to match their exact ballistics and conditions.

In addition, the side focus adjusts the scope’s parallax, making the reticle clearer and have less perceived movement when you’re shooting at different distances. Plus, the available FireDot Illuminated Duplex Reticle provides faster target acquisition, especially in low-light situations with a fiber-optic-powered red dot featuring multiple brightness settings to adapt to changing weather and lighting conditions. And there’s no need to worry about the battery being constantly drained, since Motion Sensor Technology (MST™) extends battery life by automatically deactivating the illuminated reticle after five minutes of inactivity, and then reactivates it  instantly as soon as movement is detected. Even if the battery is completely drained, the reticle will still be visible as all black lines just like a basic duplex reticle — so you will still be able to make the shot.

Leupold pioneered modern waterproof and fogproof technology using advanced internal gasses and sealing methods that withstand extreme temperatures, elevation changes and shocks, so the internals of the optics stay moisture free and crystal clear for life.

As the lightest, most rugged 5:1 riflescope in its class, your VX-5HD will never slow you down. And like all Leupold® riflescopes, it’s designed, machined and assembled in the U.S.A. and guaranteed for life.
