Leupold VX-5HD Gen2 3-15x44 CDS-ZL2 Duplex Scope

Leupold VX-5HD Gen 2 3-15x44 CDS-ZL2 Duplex Scope

Lightweight and compact, the VX-5HD Gen 2 3-15x44mm strikes the perfect balance between agility and capability. Crank it down to 3x for hunting in thick cover or dial it up to 15x for longer shots and target identification. Built for those who live for the hunt and demand precision at every range.

The VX-5HD Gen 2 3-15x44mm is built around Leupold’s Professional-Grade Optical System, delivering best-in-class light transmission, exceptional clarity, and glare-cutting performance when it matters most. The versatile 5:1 zoom range adapts to any environment—from dense timber to open country—giving hunters the flexibility and the precision to make every shot count.

Guard-Ion lens coatings keep your glass clear by repelling water, dirt, and oil, while the classic Duplex® reticle, fast-focus eyepiece, and integrated throw lever ensure fast, confident target acquisition. Dial in with enhanced competition-grade adjustments and our innovative tool-free SpeedSet™ elevation dial. Every VX-5HD Gen 2 is eligible for one free custom dial to match your preferred ammo and environmental conditions.

Waterproof, fogproof, and built for the backcountry, every 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

Offers unmatched light transmission that’s designed to outperform in the most challenging conditions, industry-leading glare reduction for a clear image in direct, harsh light, and the resolution and clarity that professional hunting guides and shooters demand.

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™ Elevation Dial

The new SpeedSet™ Elevation dial eliminates the need for the tiny tools and screws that can get dropped in the tall grass or lost in a pack. Just press, lift, reset, and go. Whether you’re re-zeroing or installing a custom dial that matches your ammo, this innovative new system makes it faster and easier than ever to get set up and on target.

Custom Dial System Compatible

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. Dial to your exact range with a Custom Dial matched to your exact load, velocity, and conditions. No holdovers. No guesswork.

Zerolock Dial

The ZeroLock® system eliminates accidental dial movement by locking it in place and allows for repeatable returns to zero.

Integrated Throw Lever

Smooth, fast magnification changes let you adapt to targets at any range—perfect for when the hunt gets unpredictable.

Precision Side Focus

The side focus adjusts the scope's parallax, making the reticle appear more clear and have less perceived movement when you're shooting at different distances. (available on select models)

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.

Competition Grade Adjustments

Deliver the accuracy trusted by competitive shooters, now in the hands of every hunter.

Leupold Lifetime Guarantee

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. Leupold does this because they believe in superior quality and craftsmanship, and confident that your Leupold won’t let you down.
