Thread: advice ? zeiss or leupy ? HD5 vs VX5HD

Both great scopes, to me eyes the HD5 glass is hard to beat but I’ve not used VX5 in the field so can’t give you a direct comparison. Have several VX6s and really rate these, especially with the ZL2 turrets which u can easily get fitted to older VX6 models. One option u should consider is the VX6 2-12x42. For the ranges you are talking this would be a perfect match. Some good ones come up 2nd hand in your price range, but they such good scopes that people tend to hang to them. One on tardme recently? Another suggestion is to take a look at fire dot reticles- not sure if they have these in VX5 range but they do in VX6. I’d have these on all my scopes if I could- fantastic in low light and bush (don’t have it too bright) , and I also find the fire dot helps focus your eye & brain in pin point pill placement at longer ranges. HD5 have more than one rev dial up, have dialed 1000 yards on my 7mmRemMag
