Frequently Asked Questions

What are the different magnification options available for the Leupold VX-5HD scope series?

The Leupold VX-5HD series, featuring a 1-5x erector system, is available in three primary magnification ranges: 1-5x, 2-10x, and 3-15x. This variety allows users to select a scope suited for different shooting distances and applications, from close-quarters tactical scenarios to longer-range hunting.

What are the key benefits of the 1x true power setting on the Leupold VX-5HD 1-5x scope?

The true 1x power setting on the Leupold VX-5HD 1-5x scope is highly advantageous for tactical use and dangerous game hunting. It provides a wider field of view and allows for comfortable shooting with both eyes open, enhancing situational awareness and target acquisition speed.

How does the Leupold Zero Lock CDS turret system work?

The Leupold Zero Lock CDS (Custom Dial System) turret allows you to call Leupold with your specific firearm load and setup. They will then send you a custom dial. The Zero Lock feature enables you to dial up for distance and then easily return to your zero point, with the system locking itself in place.

What is the purpose of the Guard-ion coating on Leupold VX-5HD lenses?

The Guard-ion coating on Leupold VX-5HD lenses is designed to repel water and dirt. Rain beads up and runs off quickly, and dirt is easier to remove. This feature ensures a clear sight picture in adverse weather conditions and keeps the lenses cleaner during field use.
