Leupold & Stevens, Inc., provider of the world’s most rugged, lightweight, and clear sport optics, is pleased to announce the launch of its new VX-5HD Gen 2 family of riflescopes, available now.

It only takes one—one that does it all. When you’re far from camp and seconds from your shot, you need a scope that’ll never let you down. The VX-5HD Gen 2 features Leupold’s Professional-Grade Optical System and delivers the absolute precision serious hunters demand. With a SpeedSet elevation dial for quick, tool-free zeroing, competition-grade adjustments, a redesigned maintube for increased elevation travel, an integrated throw lever, and ultra-rugged construction, the VX-5HD Gen 2 is the ideal hunting optic.

“The VX-5HD line has been the greatest value in riflescopes since the moment we introduced it. It outperforms everything in its class,” said Tim Lesser, Vice President of Product Development and Marketing for Leupold & Stevens, Inc. “But our team never quits innovating. The new VX-5HD Gen 2 still has everything that made it one of our most popular scopes and is adding several new features and enhancements hunters will appreciate.”

The VX-5HD Gen 2 is built around Leupold’s Professional-Grade Optical System, which delivers class-leading light transmission, glare reduction, and resolution. Guard-Ion lens coatings shed dirt and water for edge-to-edge clarity. Its incredible optical performance and new competition-grade precision adjustments–which mirror the award-winning aspects which define Leupold’s Mark series of riflescopes–ensure VX-5HD Gen 2 delivers repeatable accuracy and precision.

With the next evolution, the VX-5HD Gen 2 adds Leupold’s innovative SpeedSet elevation dial, eliminating the need for tools when zeroing or changing custom dials. By lifting the lever on the SpeedSet dial, hunters will be able to reset the zero on their elevation dial without having to use tools. The new dial features Leupold’s push-button ZeroLock system, preventing accidental dial movement. Every VX-5HD Gen 2 scope is eligible for one free custom dial to match your exact load, muzzle velocity, and environmental conditions. Leupold’s CDS system compensates for bullet drop and helps hunters make ultra-quick elevation adjustments on the fly. Additional dials are available for a nominal fee. Read more
