The viewfinder Leupold VX-5HD 1-5x24, it is ideally suited to beef hunting and has Twilight Max Light Management System technology, which gives the hunter an advantage during peak hours of certain prey, especially at dawn and dusk. For example, in the case of ravens, it is known that it is at twilight that the greatest opportunities for slaughter occur. At these times the light conditions are precarious, only quality lenses, such as the VX-5HD, are able to provide clear, sharp and bright images. The manufacturer claims that this viewfinder provides 30 minutes more hunting time at dusk and dawn compared to other competition lenses.
It is a particularly robust sight, built on a 6061-T6 aeronautical aluminium body. The VX-5HD is waterproof and fog-resistant, plus it has the Guard-Ion lens coating, the latter treatment, consists of an "ion bombardment to the molecular structure of the lens". The result is an outer lens that repels water, dirt, and fingerprints very well.
It has a generous eye relief and eyebox, a feature that makes it easy to find a comfortable shooting position quickly.
The reticle features the FireDot 4 Fine model, which is especially popular because it has a red dot in the center of the aiming point and is designed to help aim in extremely low light conditions. For example, this reticle is ideal for shooting a very dark-colored furry animal in low light, a circumstance where it can be very difficult to find the target. If we adjust the lattice a series of MOAs, through the turrets, this correction is reflected exactly at the point of impact. The low-profile turrets, are graded at 1⁄4 of MOA per click, this implies a correction of 7 mm for each of them at 100 m. The drift turret has a protective cover, something to be thankful for, since it is usually always the most exposed to unintended changes, by friction and accidental blows. The side parallax turret is also very easy to use.
The turrets are large enough to be used by people with normal-sized hands, but not so large that they become a hindrance.
Characteristics
- Manufactured with a 30 mm tube of aeronautical grade aluminium 6061-T6.
- Light weight.
- Wide field of view.
- Exclusive patented Argon/Krypton gas blend, which virtually eliminates the effects of thermal shock and reduces the loss of confined gases, even more than the proven nitrogen technology.
- Exceptional image sharpness throughout the magnification range. Thanks to the application of coatings on the lenses, in this way the transmission of light in blue and red is maximized, in addition to the balance colors, to show the greatest possible contrast. The glare is controlled by special mechanical structures.
- Rain protection coating Guard-Ion, extremely durable, resistant to scratches, water, dirt and fingerprints.
- The internal erector tube has a twin spring system called Twin Bias, made in an alloy of beryllium and copper, which have 30% more holding strength to withstand the most intense recoil and abuse.
- With great eye relief, he possesses a generous eyebox, so it's very easy and quick to adjust the position of the head relative to the eyepiece to get perfect vision.
- FireDot 4 Fine grid with fiber optic lighting system, which offers a perfect balance of contrast and brightness, both in daylight and low light conditions.
- The patented motion sensor (MST) technology automatically turns off the grid lighting after five minutes of inactivity, to reactivate instantly as soon as any movement is detected.
- *Technology Leupold MST to preserve battery. Tilting the VX-5HD more than a degree to the left or right, the illuminated lattice blinks. Remove the tilt and it will stop. Tilt it more than 30 degrees and it will turn off to save battery.
