Absolute Precision: The VX-5HD Gen 2 Riflescope
YOU ONLY NEED ONE, ONE THAT DOES IT ALL.
If one scope has to do it all, then it better deliver all day, every day and in all conditions. That’s where the versatile, ultra-rugged VX-5HD Gen 2 blows away the competition. With tool-free zeroing, class-leading optical performance, and rugged reliability built into every detail, this second-generation of our award-winning scope is engineered for serious hunters who demand absolute precision.
New SpeedSet Elevation Dial. No Lost tools. No Wasted Time.
Every VX-5HD Gen 2 comes equipped with our new SpeedSet Elevation dial that eliminates the need for the tiny tools and screws that can get dropped in the tall grass or lost in a pack. Just press, lift, reset, and go. Whether you’re re-zeroing or installing a custom dial that matches your ammo, this innovative new system makes it faster and easier than ever to get set up and on target.
Pair that with our ZeroLock system and you’ve got a dial that’s fast, intuitive, and holds zero no matter what. This dial only moves when you want it to move.
Built Around Precision. Backed by Performance.
This isn’t just a Gen 2 in name, it’s a new generation by design. With upgraded competition-grade adjustments and a new maintube that delivers more elevation travel, the VX-5HD Gen 2 is built for those “just-one-more-click” moments when you’re stretching distance. A new integrated throw lever allows for smooth, fast magnification changes—perfect when targets show up fast or conditions shift without warning.
Plus, it’s Custom Dial System compatible, meaning you’re eligible for a free dial custom engraved to match your preferred ammo and hunting conditions. No more ballpark holds or dope charts taped to your rifle.

You can’t hit what you can’t see.
Like the original VX-5HD, the Gen 2 is built around our Professional-Grade Optical System—because when your target steps out at first or last light, clarity isn’t optional, it’s an absolute advantage. This optic soaks up the light, cuts down the glare, punches through the shadows and delivers the edge-to-edge clarity when it matters most.
Unmatched Light Transmission
Extend your hunt into those crucial low-light moments where success often lives.
Unrivaled Glare Reduction
Harsh midday sunlight? No problem. This scope thrives when others falter.
Razor-Sharp Clarity
Identify every detail with precision, eliminating guesswork so you can execute with confidence.
