The Leupold VX-5HD 3-15x44 Illuminated CDS-ZL2 Rifle Scope is built for the hunt with a FireDot illuminated reticle that provides bright, red-dot like performance during the day and easy one-button intensity adjustment. Combining a High Definition optical system and the Twilight Max Light Management system, these Rifle Scopes by Leupold provide hunters with a distinct advantage at dawn and dusk due to sharpened clarity and superior low-light performance. The Leupold VX-5HD 3-15x MST Rifle Scope has a specialized Custom Dial ZeroLock 2 (CDS-ZL2) elevation dial that locks in place so you won't accidentally rotate off zero, and with a quick button press you can dial up the elevation by two turns. For extreme accuracy when it counts, choose the Leupold VX-5HD 3-15x44mm Side Focus Rifle Scope.![]()
Every CDS model scope comes with a standard MOA or MIL dial right out of the box, so it's not a custom dial yet. To get yours, enter your ballistic information that can usually be found on your ammo box or the manufacturer's website and some of the environmental conditions where you'll be shooting the most, and we will laser-etch a new elevation dial to match. Once you receive the new dial in the mail, swap out the standard MOA or MIL dial, and you're good to go. The Custom Dial System® (CDS) ensures your scope is now perfectly tuned to the ballistics of your rifle.
Fully understanding your ballistics can be intimidating. That's why the Leupold Custom Dial System® (CDS) laser-etches your scope's elevation dial to match your load, velocity, and conditions. All you do is range your target, turn the dial to that number, and aim dead on. No more holdovers, bullet drop reticles, or ballistic calculators. Just quick, accurate shots every time.
