Product Information

VX-5HD Gen 2  2-10x42 CDS-SZL2 Illum. FireDot Duplex

The VX-5HD Gen 2 2-10x42mm combines a broad sight picture at 2x with the precision you need to reach out to 10x. Whether you’re making fast shots in tight cover or taking aim across a canyon, it’s built to adapt. Lightweight, durable, and built for total clarity, the VX-5HD Gen 2 delivers everything the serious hunter needs in one scope.

 

Built around Leupold's Professional-Grade Optical System, the VX-5HD Gen 2 2-10x42mm delivers exceptional light transmission and razor-sharp clarity from edge to edge—ideal in low light or high glare situations. The Guard-Ion lens coating repels dirt, moisture, and smudges—keeping the image clear in all conditions.

Its wide zoom range gives you the flexibility to make quick shots up close or stretch out confidently at greater distances. An illuminated reticle, fast-focus eyepiece, and integrated throw lever help you react faster when seconds matter. Backed by enhanced competition-grade adjustments and a tool-free SpeedSet™ elevation dial, this scope is built for serious performance in the field. And every VX-5HD Gen 2 is eligible for one free custom dial to match your preferred ammo and environmental conditions.

Waterproof, fogproof, and built to take a beating, the VX-5HD Gen 2 is designed, machined, and assembled in the USA and backed by Leupold's Lifetime Guarantee.

  • 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.
  • Guard-Ion Lens Coating:  Guard-ion is a hydrophobic lens coating that sheds dirt and water for a maintenance-free, clear, crisp image.
  • High-Definition Performance:  Experience the difference with Leupold's High-Definition lenses, which provide unparalleled clarity, color, and image resolution at all magnification levels.
  • Speedset Dial:  The innovative SpeedSet dial eliminates the need for tools when zeroing or changing custom dials.
  • 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.
  • ZeroLock Dial:  The ZeroLock® system eliminates accidental dial movement by locking it in place and allows for repeatable returns to zero.
  • Integrated Throw Lever:  The integrated, low-profile throw lever makes changing magnifications quick and easy.
  • Illuminated Reticle:  This scope comes with an illuminated reticle, which creates a visible aiming point for greater accuracy in low-light conditions.
  • 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.
  • Leupold Lifetime Guarantee:  This product is guaranteed to perform for life. If your Leupold riflescope, binocular, red dot or spotting scope doesn’t perform, Leupold 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.
