VX-5HD Gen 2 3-15X50 CDS-SZL2 SIDE FOCUS METRIC ILLUM. FIREDOT 4 FINE
If you’re looking for a single scope to handle it all, the VX-5HD Gen 2 3-15x50mm is it. With low-end speed and high-end reach, it’s built for thick cover, long shots, and everything in between. The 50mm objective lens brings in more light when the shadows are long, making it ideal for dawn-to-dusk hunting.
Built around our Professional-Grade Optical System, the VX-5HD Gen 2 3-15x50mm delivers best-in-class light transmission, edge-to-edge clarity, and glare-cutting performance in the toughest conditions. Its 50mm objective lens maximizes brightness, making it a powerful tool for low-light hunts and spotting game in dense terrain.
A Guard-Ion lens coating repels water, dirt, and smudges to keep your view clean, while the illuminated reticle, integrated throw lever, and fast-focus eyepiece help you get on target faster. Competition-grade adjustments and our tool-free SpeedSet™ elevation dial round out a scope built for serious hunters. And every VX-5HD Gen 2 is eligible for one free custom dial to match your preferred ammo and environmental conditions.
Rugged, lightweight, and backed by a lifetime guarantee, every VX-5HD Gen 2 is waterproof, fogproof, and designed, machined, and assembled in the USA.
