leupold vx5hd wind plx fire dot

[Sika Slayer]

I know that Leupold vx5 do not come with the wind plx dot as a choice, will their custom shop fit one for you if you request it ?

 

[OUT4DUX]

I was recently checking out the exact same idea, from my discussions with a local shop I was told you could do a reticle swap for around $140-$170 through Leupold.

Is it worth it? You'll pay full retail price plus the custom shop upgrade for it through leupold for that price you can buy a vx6-hd

Is this the "fire dot reticle" that's been all the rage?
Can the fire dot be turned off, or does it always glow?

 

[Hand Skills]

It can be turned off. If left on it turns itself off after a period, and a motion sensor in the scope turns it on when the scope moves.

I don't use the dot much, but it's pretty nifty - I leave it set really low, in the daylight I don't even notice it, but when it gets dark I can see an aimpoint when the crosshairs have disappeared.

If this is the combo you need, make sure you get the firedot ret and upgrade to the windplex. Im not sure the reverse is possible.

It was in a paper add, I'll see if I can find it again today

Here's the add

Here's the add

That's a misprint in the paper add , cabelas website (and leupold) have no such "standard" stocked beast

Love the analog links though.

Just beginning some research on the Leupold scopes. Leupold's website states none of the VX-6HD scopes are currently available with the FireDot Wind-Plex reticle. What am I missing? I see a FireDot Duplex is available, and lots of other FireDot options... Very few with Wind-Plex.

Thus buying a scope with the fire dot, and having Leupold add the windplex for a surcharge.

Given the illuminated options (TMOA, Impact) on the VX6HD, I think this 'mod' only makes sense on a VX5HD
