Ya’ll In Trouble! Leupold 🔥 Dot

[DoneNOut]

Why in heavens name didn't y'all fellers tell me how absolutely awesome the VX5HD fire dot looks!

My astigmatism doesn't turn the single dot into 3 dots like I do now with my Aimpoints these days! The settings are sweet too.

I'm fixin to get my whippin stick!

I have the Firedot duplex VX5HD on my 30-06, 6.5 Creedmoor and muzzleloader. Amazing and I shot this guy 1 minute after legal shooting light at 180 yards this Wednesday. I had the firedot on and I smoked him double lung.

EH, that makes more sense, and some watches are faster than others.

Vx5&6 fire dot. Lots of bang for the buck. Outstanding hunting scope. Wish I could afford to buyem by the gross.

l'm a huge fan of the fire dot duplex. I really don't like a cluttered reticle. Beautiful simplicity in an affordable high quality scope is all these old eyes needs.

My only gripe with this VX5HD 2-10x42 is at 2x I can see 1/16" of the objective lens at the edges. 2.2x and it goes away to edge to edge sharpness. I don't recall my 3-15x44 doing this. I'll have to check it.

I have a Nikon does the same thing.

Amen! Get to many different reticle trees going on between scopes and you can have a mental stumble in the heat of the moment. Even worse having Mil and MOA based adjustments!

Tree reticle really isn't practical in a second focal plane scope either.

Have a VX HD3 4.5x14x40 on my 300 Roy,no problem. Have the VX freedom 3x9x40 s on my 45-70 and 270 win, no problem.

You got that right. I tried to get in a virtual waiting room to buy OTC Elk tag the other day, could not get in until 9:30 MST, hit the button on my computer a few seconds after it turned 9:30 just to make sure I wasn't to early so it wouldn't kick me out, and when I hit the button to buy tags, I was number 9,800s. It was two hours before I could buy. Of course a lot the Elk zones were sold out , but I,m pretty happy where I got one.

We black bear hunt with the VXR 2 X 7 Firedot scopes and we love them. We have four of them, they are the clearest of all the Leupold scopes that I own. And......then Leupold decided to drop this scope for whatever reason, but they dropped it. One of the guy who I hunt with just bought the VX5HD fire dot, that too is a really nice scope, but it's a $1000 price tag. For some that is not a lot of money, however it is for me. With the exception of one black bear, all have been shot using the Firedot. The best time for seeing black bear where I hunt is usually the last hour of daylight. Legal shooting time in September usually ends around 7:20-7:30 P.M., yet at around 6:45 P.M. P.M. the curtain is very close to being drawn and by 7:10-7:15 P.M. the party is pretty much over and one cannot see more than 20-30 feet in front of them if that. Up to those last few minutes the Firedot really extends ones ability to see a sight meaning the red dot.
