Leupold VX5-HD (sample #2) 3-15x44
Who tested: Rokslide field eval (2025-08) — read the original write-up, which is the source of record. Who structured it: Optics Intel. We extract outcomes and cite; the testing labor is theirs.
Sample size: 1 (single serial number, second sample in a separate eval thread) — evidence about this unit, not a verdict on every unit shipped.
Stage-by-stage record
| Tracking / RTZ | Not tested | — |

| 18″ drops | Fail | shifted POI off the dot on the top 18″ drop |
| 36″ (single) | Fail | — |
| 3×36″ | Fail | ended 8 inches left at the end of the drop portion |
| Long-term | Not tested | — |
Mount setup
Rings/mount: degreased. Ring torque: 20 in-lb. No torque caveat flagged in the source.
Notes
Removed after the drop portion; RTZ/tracking deferred as likely not worth the ammunition per source.
