- Leupold VX-5HD vs VX-6HD
Having excellent quality glass is one of the most important characteristics for a high end rifle scope. Fortunately, Leupold definitely hit it out of the park with the glass on the VX-6HD rifle scope (the HD stands for high definition). The VX-6HD rifle scope incorporates what Leupold refers to as a “Professional-Grade Optical System.” Leupold’s Pr...
In addition to having excellent glass, the Leupold VX-6HD holds a zero well and has reliable and repeatable adjustments. I was impressed with how easy the Leupold VX-6HD was to sight in. The windage and elevation turrets are easy to fine tune with both tactile and audible clicks. A little bit of testing confirmed that 5 MOA windage and elevation ad...
In addition to all that, the Leupold VX-6HD comes standard with several nice accessories to help round out a unique combination of features for the scope. First, all these scopes have Alumina Flip-Back Lens Covers to protects the front and rear lenses from moisture and debris. Next, the Leupold VX-6HD also comes with a reversible throw lever. The m...
The Leupold VX-6HD has another great feature in the Custom Dial System ZeroLock 2 (CDS-ZL2). Basically, Leupold will build a custom elevation adjustment dial for your specific hunting load, scope, and typical hunting conditions. All scopes ship from the factory with a standard MOA adjustment elevation turret, but Leupold offers one free custom ball...
While the Leupold VX-6HD is available in several different variations, each specific model has a versatile 6:1 zoom. What the heck does that mean? Basically, it means that these scopes have 6 times more magnification at high power than at low power. For instance, the 3-18x50mm version of the Leupold VX-6HD has a minimum magnification of 3x and a 18...
The Leupold VX-6 HD has just about the perfect amount of eye relief. At the same time, eye relief doesn’t change at all across magnifications. The scope also has what Leupold calls an extreme fast-focus eyepiece as well as a very generous eyebox. While you might not notice this shooting off a bench rest on flat ground, this is really nice for extre...
Leupold advertises that the VX-6HD rifle scope is waterproof, shock proof, and fog proof. According to Leupold, the scope uses the latest technology along with advanced internal gasses and sealing methods designed to withstand extreme temperatures, elevation changes, and shocks to keep the internals of the optics moisture free and crystal clear. Th...
The Leupold VX6HD is a second focal plane scope, which means that the reticle stays the same size at all magnifications. Hunters utilizing the Leupold VX-6HD also have several different reticle choices: the FireDot duplex illuminated reticle, the TMOA illuminated reticle, the Boone & Crockett illuminated reticle, the LR Varmint Hunter illuminated r...
Just like with any scope bearing the Leupold Gold Ring, Leupold offers a full lifetime warranty on the VX-6HD rifle scope. Here’s the Leupold warranty policystraight from the horse’s mouth: With the exception of their glass (which is imported), Leupold designs, machines, and assembles all of their products in the USA at their facility in Beaverton,...
You may be wondering about the differences between the Leupold VX-5HD and the Leupold VX-6HD. They have a lot of things in common and are both extremely popular Leupold riflescopes, but the VX-5HD is essentially a less expensive little brother to the VX-6HD that retains a lot of the characteristics most important to hunters, but lacks a few key fea...
