Designed around our Professional-Grade Optical System, the VX-5HD Gen 2 4-20x52mm delivers class-leading light transmission, edge-to-edge clarity, and glare-cutting contrast across its entire magnification range. The 52mm objective lens adds brightness without bulk, while the 34mm maintube allows for more travel for longer-range shooting and the Guard-Ion coating keeps the glass crisp, clean and clear in all conditions.

From walking through timber to glassing across canyons, the wide zoom range, illuminated reticle, fast-focus eyepiece and integrated throw lever make the VX-5HD Gen 2 ready for anything. Enhanced competition-grade adjustments and our tool-free SpeedSet™ elevation dial help you stay focused under pressure. And every VX-5HD Gen 2 is eligible for one free custom dial to match your preferred ammo and environmental conditions.

Built for hunters who demand more from their optics, the ultra-rugged VX-5HD Gen 2 is waterproof, fogproof, and guaranteed to perform for life.

Features
A versatile 5:1 zoom ratio gives you 5 times more magnification at high power than at low power (model magnification ranges may be available in powers of 5x: 1-5, 2-10, 3-15, 4-20, etc.), so you can adjust your magnification to find the perfect balance between magnification and field of view for any situation. The larger the zoom ratio, the more versatile one scope can be.
Leupold’s Professional-Grade Optical System offers unmatched light transmission that’s designed to outperform in the most challenging lighting conditions, industry-leading glare reduction for a clear image in harsh, direct light, and the resolution and clarity that professional guides and shooters demand in the field.
Guard-ion is a hydrophobic lens coating that sheds dirt and water for a maintenance-free, clear, crisp image.
Experience the difference with Leupold's High-Definition lenses, which provide unparalleled clarity, color, and image resolution at all magnification levels.
The innovative SpeedSet dial eliminates the need for tools when zeroing or changing custom dials.
Leupold's Custom Dial System® (CDS®) gives you the ability to customize your turret (adjustment dial) to your exact ballistics and environmental conditions. Once your new custom dial is installed, simply range the target, turn the dial to that number, and aim dead on.
The ZeroLock® system eliminates accidental dial movement by locking it in place and allows for repeatable returns to zero.
The integrated, low-profile throw lever makes changing magnifications quick and easy.
This scope comes with an illuminated reticle, which creates a visible aiming point for greater accuracy in low-light conditions.
Motion Sensor Technology (MST™) extends battery life by automatically deactivating illuminated reticles after five minutes of inactivity and then reactivates instantly as soon as movement is detected.
The side focus adjusts the scope's parallax, making the reticle appear more clear and have less perceived movement when you're shooting at different distances. (available on select models)
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.
This product is guaranteed to perform for life. If your Leupold riflescope, binocular, red dot or spotting scope doesn’t perform, we will repair or replace it for free - whether you're the original owner or not. You don’t need proof of ownership or a warranty card, and there’s no time limit. We do this because we believe in superior quality and craftsmanship, and we’re confident your Leupold won’t let you down.
