Leopold vx5hd

[Buckdown]

Ive been running nightforce for awhile and have been very confident in it. So I've got a new hunting build and want to stay around 20oz and im looking at a vx5. The questions is how is there tracking? Not concerned about the glass ect.it's all about the dial and tracking for me.

I have five VX-5HD 3-15x44s on lightweight hunting rigs and ARs. All of them perform excellently in regards to optical and mechanical performance. The tracking has been great for consistent impacts to 1000 yards.

I've ran the dials from the zero stop all the way to the top of the elevation travel several times and they all return to zero as they should.

They have nice crisp audible clicks unlike the mushy adjustments from past models and the ZL2 locking mechanism is a nice feature for a woods rifle. Overall, I consider them the best option for for a sub $1000 optic.

For reference, I am not a Leupold supporter. I have a lot of higher end optics like Nightforce, Zeiss, March, and Vortex AMG. I choose to make my own opinions about products and ignore internet lore. I get rid of things that don't work and I haven't gotten rid of any of my VX HD scopes.

I sold my nightforce to get into the vx5hd. If that helps at all.

My experience with the vx5 has been pretty much the same as brentec. I have run the nightforce for a number of years. And while I do like them very well it seems as I have gotten older weight has become more of an issue. So in looking for something lighter I tried the vx5. To me the glass is decent and the tracking has been good. I have not sold my nightforce scopes but they go on rifles that I don't figure I will pack. And my pack rifles get a vx5. Good luck with your decision.

I recently bought a VX5 to put on a Pre 64 Win 300HH. Hoping it is a good match. With the 26" barrel on the gun it will shoot.

I recently installed one on my 7mm Wby. and its works flawlessly out to 1,000 (that's as far as I shot so far). I like the clarity of the glass and think it has a better picture than my Nightforce SHV.

I really like these scopes for lighter builds. Mine dials more than it should but I take it into account. Definitely tall target test them.

One of my favorite scopes

I have a vx5hd in 3-15x44 and ordered a second one. It has good value and options for the price.

If I were getting this scope I would get it with the Firedot reticle.

How is the low light in the VX5-HD 3-15x56 version with firedot?
