Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics VX5 HD

It's nice, seeing Leupold getting a good review.

Just got one. Optically, it’s better than the Accupoint I have with a much better eyebox. Slam dunk winner IMO and the firedot is awesome

The vx 5hd 3-15 is one of my favorite hunting scopes. The optics are excellent and the scope is lighter for the magnification you get.

I have a 2-10 on a .30-06 I hardly ever use, but after installing it and zeroing the rifle, I was impressed with the glass.

The rifle itself is accurate, so when I zeroed it, the POI changes were consistent with adjustments. It was very easy to zero and performed well out to 400 yards.

So, I put the rifle in my safe and have continued to use my .308 simply because I prefer that rifle. I can't recall hunting with the '06, and have thought about moving it, possibly for a new Marlin/Ruger SBL.

Yes indeed its good to see a break in the Leupold bashing! If something doesn't live up to its advertising it should be called out but it is good to see that all is not lost at Leupold.

Had one on a .30 Nosler - the telephone pole rifle in the Idaho moose hunt story in General Big Game.

Has about 200 round under it - dialed it for multiple trips past a 200 yard zero.

No issues, dials to what the drop chart and the weather apps say it should, returns to zero.

Optically - no issues with shadow or edge black, and haven't found a morning or evening that it wouldn't let me shoot past what was legal light.

Trying a 2.5-10 next, expecting similar results.

YMMV
