Description: LEUPOLD VX-5HD 1-5x24 METRIC FireDot 4 Fine illumin viewfinder. LEUPOLD VX-5HD 1-5x24 METRIC FireDot 4 Fine illumin viewfinder. The LEUPOLD VX-5HD 1-5×24mm is a compact hunting viewfinder from this North American manufacturer. With a minimum magnification range of 1x, it provides an extraordinary field of view making it an ideal viewfinder for whistling hunting. The VX-5HD is essentially a smaller sibling of the VX-6HD, which is priced lower, logically lacking some more advanced aspects of the top range. But without giving up many of the features that any hunter looks for in such an optics. The peculiarities of the VX-6HD that we won't see in the VX-5HD range are: a higher magnification ratio of 6:1 vs 5:1, it has an electronic reticle level system, alumina lens covers with inverted cap, and a reversible shooting lever to help adjust the magnification ring. Also, all VX-6HD headsets have an illuminated reticle as a standard feature, but that is an optional add-on to the VX-5HD range. It is a viewfinder that is distinguished by the use of excellent quality lenses, which have the ""High Definition"" (HD) feature. In addition, the VX-5HD models feature ""Twilight Max Light Management System"" technology, an aspect that gives the hunter an advantage in the busiest hours of certain prey, typically at sunrise and sunset. For example, in the case of deer, it is known that they are the twilight moments, where the greatest opportunities for abatement are given. At those times light conditions are precarious, only quality lenses, such as those on the VX-5HD, are capable of providing sharp, sharp, bright images. The manufacturer ensures that this viewfinder provides 30 more minutes of hunting at sunset and sunrise compared to other competing optics. Moreover, unsurprisingly, at its maximum magnifications it lacks any kind of optical aberration or distortion at the edges, with a sharp side-to-side image. As is characteristic of this brand of visors, the number of lenses is lower than other brands and the arrangement of lenses is taken into account to determine the treatments applied to each of them. The result is clarity and image quality, hard to find in other manufacturers. The second important aspect, in any viewfinder, is its mechanical quality. That is, if we adjust the reticle to a series of MOAs, through the turrets, this correction is reflected exactly at the point of impact. Low-profile turrets, they are graded at 1⁄4 MOA per click, this means a correction of 7 mm for each of them at 100 m. The drift turret has a protective cap, something to thank, as it is usually always the most exposed to unintended changes, by friction and fortuitous blows. The side parallax turret is also very easy to use. In general, turrets are large enough to be worn by people with normal-sized hands, but they are not large enough to get in the way. The headsets from this North American manufacturer are known for their mechanical precision, something we have been able to verify by performing the so-called watch test and employing graduated targets. Another of its especially noteworthy aspects is its very generous eye relief and “eyebox,” a feature that makes it easy to find a comfortable shooting position quickly. In addition, the integrity of the shooter's eye, in especially powerful calibers like magnums, is guaranteed. Regarding its sturdiness, note that like all LEUPOLDs, this is an especially sturdy viewfinder, it is built on a 6061-T6 aeronautical aluminum body. The VX-5HD is waterproof and fog-resistant, plus it has the Guard-Ion lens coating. According to this company, this latest treatment consists of an ""ion bombardment to the molecular structure of the lens. Resulting in exterior lenses that repel water, dirt, and fingerprints very well. It is good to remember that each LEUPOLD design has to survive 5,000 impacts delivered by a machine called ""The Punisher"", a recoil simulator. The force of each impact is 3 times the recoil of a .308 rifle. If the model does not work properly during testing, design adjustments are made and tested again. Finally, already speaking of its reticle, say that this reference features the ""FireDot 4 Fine"" model, which is especially popular because it has a red dot in the center of the crosshairs and is designed to help aim in extremely low light conditions. For example, this reticle is ideal for shooting a fur animal in very dark color when lighting is scarce, a circumstance where it can be very difficult to find the sights. Details: Made from a 30mm tube in aeronautical grade 6061-T6 aluminum. Lightweight of just 380 g. Wide field of view at 100 m: 41.07 m. – 1x / 8.12 m. – 5x. Exclusive patented Argon / Krypton gas blend, which virtually eliminates the effects of heat shock and reduces the loss of confined gases, even more than proven nitrogen technology already does. Exceptional image sharpness across the magnification range. Thanks to the application of proprietary coatings on lenses, this maximizes light transmission in blue and red, in addition to balance colors, to show the highest possible contrast. Glare is controlled with special mechanical structures. Rain-protective coating called Guard-Ion, extremely durable, resistant to scratches, water, dirt and fingerprints. The internal erection tube possesses a twin spring system called ""Twin Bias"", made of a beryllium and copper alloy, which possess 30% more retaining force to withstand the most intense recoil and abuse. With great eye relief: 94mm. - 1x / 97 mm. - 5x. In addition, it has a generous ""eyebox"", making it very easy and quick to adjust the position of the head relative to the eyepiece for perfect vision. FireDot 4 Fine grid with fiber optic lighting system, offering a perfect balance of contrast and brightness in both daytime and low light conditions. Patented motion sensor (MST) technology automatically turns off reticle lighting after five minutes of inactivity, to instantly reactivate as soon as any movement is detected. Turrets in MILs: 1 click - 0.1 MIL. Specifications: Power x Lens diameter (mm.): 1-5×24 Finish: Matte Tube: 30mm. Reticle: FireDot 4 Fine Field of view (m. to 100m.): 41.07a1x / 8.12a5x Point of impact correction per click (mm. at 100m.): 10 Pupil output (mm.): 4.8 Distance from eye to eyepiece (mm.): 94-97 Total length (mm.): 380 Weight (g.): 273 Waterproof / Anti-fogging: Yes Color: Black Manufactured by LEUPOLD.
