Thread: Leupold review. Vx5hd zero lock 2 turn.

I'm just gonna jump in here, as i know a few people keen on getting this scope (vx5hd).
I emailed Leupold last night and they came back with the following,

TO: Leupold
Is there any difference in glass quality between the vx5hd and the
vx6hd? Why would I pick a vx6hd over a vx5hd? Cheers, Willus

FROM: Leupold
Good Morning,

The glass, and internal lens coatings are the same. The differences are in other features.

The VX-6HD has a larger zoom ratio, 6:1 (2-12x, 3-18x) as opposed to the 5:1 (2-10x, 3-15x) on the VX-5HD. The VX-6HD includes Alumina Lens Covers, 2ZL Adjustments, Illuminated Reticle options, a Reticle Cant Indicator, and a Cat-tail for the power magnification ring.

The VX-5HD does have a Firedot Reticle, and also a 2ZL adjustment, but these are not standard throughout the entire series.

Hope this helps!



BTW good quick review Dale
