The LEUPOLD 3-15x44mm VX-5HD scope offers unmatched versatility with a wide 3-15x magnification range, perfect for everything from dense timber to open plains. Its bright Firedot® illumination ensures a clear aiming point in low-light conditions, enhancing accuracy when it matters most. Built with Leupold’s Professional-Grade Optical System, this scope delivers exceptional light transmission for sharp, vivid images in any environment. Adapt effortlessly and dominate every hunt with this reliable, high-performance optic.

5:1 ZOOM RATIO: 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.
PROFESSIONAL-GRADE OPTICAL SYSTEM: 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.
SIDE FOCUS: The side focus adjusts the scope's parallax, making the reticle clearer and have less perceived movement when you're shooting at different distances.
CUSTOM DIAL SYSTEM: 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.
CDS-ZL2 ELEVATION DIAL: The CDS-ZL2 (ZeroLock 2) provides 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.
SECOND FOCAL PLANE: In Second Focal Plane (rear focal plane) scopes, the reticle stays the same size while the target grows and shrinks when you adjust the magnification. These reticles are ideal for lowlight hunting situations and in scopes that don't utilize hash marks for range estimation.
ZERO LOCK DIAL: The ZeroLock® system eliminates accidental dial movement by locking it in place.
ZERO STOP: The ZeroStop system creates a backstop when returning the dial back to zero, so you don't accidently turn the dial a full revolution in the wrong direction.
GUARD-ION: Guard-ion is a hydrophobic lens coating that sheds dirt and water for a maintenance-free, clear, crisp image.
ILLUMINATED: This scopes comes with an illuminated reticle, which can help you get on target faster in low-light situations.
MOTION SENSOR TECHNOLOGY (MST): 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.
WATERPROOF, FOGPROOF, & SHOCKPROOF: 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.
