Camera Land brings you Big News from Leupold

Leupold's VX-5HD Line

BEAVERTON, Ore. — Leupold & Stevens, Inc. introduces its new line of VX®-5HD optics, designed for the self-sufficient hunter looking to push themselves and their gear toward bigger challenges and greater hunts.

The VX-5HD features a 5x erector assembly, fitting perfectly into Leupold's line up between the VX-3i and the VX-6HD. With 1-5x, 2-10x and 3-15x models in the initial launch, there is a VX-5HD out there to meet any task thrown at it.

"Every year, more hunters are going beyond their comfort zone to take on ever bigger adventures," said Tim Lesser, vice president of product development for Leupold & Stevens, Inc. "The VX-5HD is designed and built to help these hunters expand their hunts from bigger game to more challenging areas. If you can dream it, the VX-5HD can hunt it."

With Twilight Max® Light Management System and high-definition performance, the VX-5HD delivers a crisp, clear image from first light to the last inkling of twilight, without compromising its ability to reduce glare in the harshest midday sun. The VX-5HD will be ready to go, whenever you are.

New CDS-ZL2 adjustments offer a secure locking dial, calibrated to your exact rifle and load using Leupold's Custom Dial System® technology. The CDS-ZL2 allows for two complete revolutions of the dial, precisely set to your ballistics.

The VX-5HD is available in 1-5x24mm, 2-10x42mm and 3-15x56mm, all featuring a 30mm maintube. A variety of reticles are available, including the Duplex®, FireDot® 4, Wind-Plex®, Boone and Crockett® Big Game and Impact-29 MOA.

We are carrying the entire line. Our web builder is working on getting the pages built and up on our site. Will be done this week for sure

..... sigh... just another hunting optic. I want to like Leupold, but this kind of crap just seriously turns me away from them. They just dont seem to listen to shooters or even care, only catering to the hunting market and not precision rifle shooters. Like I get it, we are the minority and all but still, look at how Vortex or even Athlon now has exploded on to the scene.

But if it keeps the doors open... whatever makes their bottom line happen.


Edit to add: I didn't mean to piss on the thread, I'm sure its a great optic. Truth be told, I with they would offer the 2-10 with a basic TMR reticle and .1 mil adjustments with a solid zero stop at sub 20oz. I'd love to have something like that on an SPRish AR build. It seems though, they would rather not have a practical "shooters" optic though.

I too would like to buy another Leupold but they just don't have anything that has all the typical feature for a precision rifle scope should have. I have a 3.5-10 on my Mk12 and it is really clear and the quality is nice. They have the Mk8 which has all the right features but there's no way I'm paying $4700 for it and the Mk6 doesn't seem to be consistent. Plus it's over priced for what it does too. They have no focus and way to many models that seem to overlap or are lacking standard features. No illumination and no zero stops. And how does a 1.1-8x24 cost $3800?

They do in their "long range precision" lineup, sort of. It is their 4.5-14x50 with a big ass elevation knob that has a zero stop.

4.5-14 is middle age tech. Sorry, I just can't get behind anything Leupold is doing now. Like I said, I love the weight of their scopes such as the classic Mk4 3.5-10, freaking love its size, but they just seem to be relying on hunters (I am one) and the like to continue business. I simply wish they would have some ears and "giddy-up" as some other companies I wrote of.

So much potential from their lines, they just have to execute it. An SPR with a solid VX6 or whatever with FFP, mil/mil, ZS would be a killer combo.

The website list stupid inflated prices. The CQBSS TMR reticle listed on their website for $3899 -- you could buy it brand new right now from LibertyOptics for under $2500 shipped.

Yeah I was looking at them on europtics and the seem to have two different types. One for $3,799 and another for $2.999

There is just too much truth in this thread. I worked there for almost 18 years and got laid off for continuing to bring up all of these issues. The tactical and precision shooting market are exploding and they just refuse to acknowledge it, and it is hurting them. Working there for as long as I did means that I still have many contacts over there. A few years ago there was a massive exodus of their senior executives and many of them went over to Sig Optics. No one is really sure why the exodus happened but there seem to a fair amount of bitterness there. Just last year the employee profit sharing was one of the worst that I ever heard of, in a year where most of the rest of the industry did fantastically. For years all that I would buy was Leupold and now, with a very few exceptions, I will not touch their stuff with a ten foot pole, and I can still use my contacts to get the employee price on stuff. That "bone" that they threw at the tactical market, the VX-3i LRP, was an utter joke. The only thing that they got right on that one was the throw lever, and that is all. I just cannot figure out why they continue to cater exclusively to the hunting market and leave the rest out in the cold. Just Sayin'...

 

[patrol120]

I dont think catering solely to the hunting market is necessarily a bad thing....but they aren't even doing that. The half assed attempts at the tactical/precision demographic, for me, makes it worse than had they completely ignored it. This tells me they know the market is there, they simply dont care what it actually wants, or they think they know what it needs better than those who are buying the scopes do.

 

[Bevan]

COME ONNNNNN MK5 3-15x44 with FFP TMR and .1mil low-profile turrets and decent glass please.

 

[kengel2]

Seems like they copied S&B with the mark 8. Only thing is the prices have now flipped.

The only big news Leupold could offer is if they became a distributor for a company that makes scopes that incorporate technology from this decade.
