Leupold 183859 VX-5HD Gen 2 Black 4-20x 52mm 34mm Tube TMOA Reticle
$1,999.99
The Leupold VX-5HD Gen 2 4-20x52mm rifle scope is built for hunters and long-range shooters who refuse to compromise on glass quality or adjustment precision. This 34mm-tube scope combines a professional-grade optical system with a 5:1 zoom ratio, letting you work from close-range timber hunting to glassing distant terrain without swapping glass. The 52mm objective delivers brightness and edge-to-edge clarity across the entire magnification range, while Guard-Ion lens coating cuts glare and sheds moisture and dust so you stay ready in rain, fog, or dust.
What sets the VX-5HD Gen 2 apart in the field is its builder-friendly feature set. The SpeedSet elevation dial lets you make zero adjustments without tools, and the integrated throw lever gives you fast magnification changes when the moment matters. The TMOA reticle sits in the second focal plane, making it intuitive to use across the 4-20x range. Precision side focus lets you dial in parallax quickly, and the locking ZeroLock dial keeps your zero from shifting when you're moving through rough country. Competition-grade 1/4 MOA per click adjustments give you the resolution long-range work demands.
Leupold backs every VX-5HD Gen 2 with a lifetime guarantee and includes one free custom dial—you can tailor elevation to your preferred load and expected shooting distances. The scope is waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof, built to handle the wear and weather of serious hunting and range time.
