Leupold VX-5HD Gen2 1-5x24

• 1-5x zoom range: True low-end magnification supports fast target acquisition at short distance, while 5x still gives enough precision for careful shot placement when the terrain opens up.
• 24 mm objective with wide field of view: The combination of a compact front lens and up to 35.20 m/100m field of view helps keep more of the scene in view during driven hunts and quick follow-up shots.
• Second focal plane reticle: The reticle keeps the same apparent size throughout the zoom range, so the aiming picture stays easy to see at 1x and uncluttered at higher magnification.
• Capped turrets: Protected adjustment caps reduce the chance of accidental dial movement in the field, which suits a hunting riflescope that is carried a lot and adjusted less often.
• 30 mm argon-filled tube: The robust tube design, together with waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof construction, gives the scope the durability needed for hard use in changing weather.

About the Leupold VX-5HD Series

The Leupold VX-5HD series was introduced in 2017 as a premium hunting line built around a 5:1 zoom ratio. That broad magnification range is the defining idea of the series: each model is meant to cover more than one hunting scenario, from close woodland shots to longer opportunities across open ground, without forcing the shooter into an oversized scope. Leupold positioned the VX-5HD family between its older VX-3i and VX-6HD lines, giving hunters a lighter, more streamlined option with a strong balance of versatility and optical refinement.

A key part of the series is Leupold’s Professional-Grade Optical System, developed to improve light transmission, control glare, and maintain good resolution and clarity in difficult field conditions. Guard-Ion lens coatings add practical weather resistance by helping water and dirt shed from the outer lens surfaces. Across the range, Leupold offers different magnification bands and reticle choices, including Duplex and FireDot variants, so the series can suit both traditional hunting rifles and faster close-range setups. The VX-5HD line is built for hunters who need dependable optics in rough terrain, with waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof construction as a consistent part of the design.

About the Leupold VX-5HD Gen2 1-5x24

The Leupold VX-5HD Gen2 1-5x24 is a compact hunting riflescope aimed at close to medium distances, where speed matters as much as precision. Its 1-5x magnification range makes it especially well suited to driven hunts, woodland stalking, and rifles that may be used in thick cover one day and on more open ground the next. At 1x, the sight picture stays fast and natural for snap shooting and moving game; at 5x, the scope gives enough image scale for more deliberate aiming when the shot stretches out.

The optical layout supports that role well. A 24 mm objective lens keeps the scope trim and easy to mount low, while the broad 35.20 m/100m maximum field of view helps the shooter track movement and maintain awareness of the surroundings. The 97 mm eye relief adds comfort on heavier-recoiling rifles and gives more flexibility in shooting position. Because the reticle sits in the second focal plane, its apparent size remains constant through the zoom range, which many hunters prefer for a familiar and easy-to-read aiming point.

Mechanically, this model stays focused on field practicality. Capped turrets protect the adjustments from knocks and unintended movement during transport or while moving through brush. The fixed parallax setting suits the scope’s intended hunting distances and keeps operation simple under pressure. A 30 mm tube, argon filling, and waterproof, fogproof, shockproof construction round out a design that favors reliability, low bulk, and quick handling over unnecessary complexity.

About Leupold

Leupold & Volpel was founded in 1907 in Portland, Oregon by Fred Leupold and Adam Volpel. The company later introduced its first riflescope, the Plainsman, in 1947, establishing the product category that still defines much of the brand today. Leupold is a family-owned American optics maker focused on sport optics for hunting, shooting, and outdoor use, with product lines that include riflescopes, red dot sights, binoculars, spotting scopes, rangefinders, and thermal optics.

Leupold is especially well known in riflescopes, including its VX-series hunting optics and Mark-series tactical models. The company also introduced the Duplex reticle in 1962, a design that became one of the most widely recognized hunting reticle formats. Today, Leupold & Stevens, Inc. is headquartered in Beaverton, Oregon, where the company continues to develop optics built around practical field use, mechanical durability, and straightforward operation.
