Thread: Leupold review. Vx5hd zero lock 2 turn.

Afternoon all. So first review and my thoughts on the new vx5hd. Most will know that I had a vx6 for sale and was replacing it with a new vx5. Out the box the main tube is similar length if not the same to the vx6, I found eye relief good but on a long action can be limited, noticeably the vx5hd is lighter in weight without lens covers at 550grams. Also with the new lens coatings etc I feel the image appeared sharper and brighter. Zero lock turret on elevation cap has a two turn function and will give you appx 37moa this being more the enough and returns back to zero or lock. You cannot lock the cap at any other settings. You also can't go back past zero. The (clicks) are still not firm but I feel are improved on the vx6. Feild of view and eye relief both great. Over all I consider the vx5hd to be a well priced, dialable scope that should be considered for both novices and advanced hunters looking for a scope within a budget the wife won't kill you over
