Leupold, VX-5HD Gen 2, Rifle Scope, 3-15X Magnification, 50mm Objective, 30mm Main Tube Diameter, Illuminated FireDot 4 Fine Reticle, Matte Finish, Black - SKU: 188799 - UPC: 030317059613
Product Description
The Leupold VX-5HD Gen 2 3-15x50mm Rifle Scope (188799) represents the apex of hunting optics, delivering maximum light transmission, edge-to-edge clarity, and low-light performance. Featuring Leupold’s Professional-Grade Optical System, high-definition fluorite lenses, and Guard-Ion hydrophobic lens coatings, this optic is engineered to excel in extreme low-light wilderness environments during peak twilight hunting hours.
Built around a rugged 30mm maintube machined from 6061-T6 aircraft aluminum, the 188799 features an illuminated FireDot 4 Fine reticle powered by Motion Sensor Technology (MST). The MST automatically deactivates reticle illumination after 5 minutes of inactivity and instantly re-engages illumination when motion is detected, preserving battery reserve in the field.
Equipped with the CDS-ZL2 (Custom Dial System ZeroLock 2) elevation turret, shooters can secure a free custom laser-engraved elevation dial calibrated to their specific caliber, muzzle velocity, and ballistic profile. The push-button ZeroLock system prevents accidental turret movement while providing two full turns of elevation adjustment.
*Armorer Bench Notes & Real-World Staging Guidance:
Fitment Matrix: Fits standard 30mm scope rings. Large 50mm objective lens typically requires medium or high ring heights depending on barrel contour and optic rail clearance.
- Verify rifle action is completely clear, magazine removed, and chamber visually and physically confirmed empty.
- Mount quality 30mm scope rings onto receiver rail, torque lower ring bases to manufacturer specification (usually 20-25 in-lbs).
- Place optic in lower ring halves, set proper eye relief at maximum 15x magnification, and align reticle vertical crosshair using a bubble level.
- Torque ring cap screws evenly in a cross-pattern to 15-18 in-lbs (do not crush tube).
- Perform zeroing at 100 yards, then submit your specific load data to Leupold to claim your free custom CDS elevation dial.
