Lightweight and compact, the VX-5HD Gen 2 3-15x44mm strikes the perfect balance between agility and capability. Crank it down to 3x for hunting in thick cover or dial it up to 15x for longer shots and target identification. Built for those who live for the hunt and demand precision at every range.

The VX-5HD Gen 2 3-15x44mm is built around Leupold’s Professional-Grade Optical System, delivering best-in-class light transmission, exceptional clarity, and glare-cutting performance when it matters most. The versatile 5:1 zoom range adapts to any environment—from dense timber to open country—giving hunters the flexibility and the precision to make every shot count.

Guard-Ion lens coatings keep your glass clear by repelling water, dirt, and oil, while the Wind-Plex® reticle, fast-focus eyepiece, and integrated throw lever ensure fast, confident target acquisition.

Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Victoria B. ★★★★★

The turret clicks are so crisp and tactile you can really feel each adjustment, which gives me total confidence in the field. At 15x the image is sharp enough to pick out individual branches at 300 yards, yet it still feels light enough for all-day carry.

Abigail D. ★★★★★

Zeroing in was quick thanks to the side focus parallax, and the CDS dial made adjusting for a 300-yard shot feel effortlessly precise. The weight is noticeable right away—it balances perfectly on my hunting rifle without making it front-heavy.

John A. ★★★★★

Took it out on a rainy elk hunt and the 3x low end made tracking through brush feel effortless, then dialing up to 15x for a clear ridge shot was smooth and repeatable. The glass is brighter than my old scope at dusk, which is exactly what I needed.
