Does leupold make a throw lever for this riflescope?

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Armando R., Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on February 12, 2019

Leupold does offer one, but you would need to contact them directly to purchase it. If you wanted a different option, Switchview also offers one. They have been making the most throw lever options for different manufacturers for years now. This is their standard throw lever that will work on the VX-5HD: https://www.opticsplanet.com/switchview-magnification-adjustment-throw-lever.html?_iv_fit=magnification-rings-between-1613in-and-1655in-outside-diameter-as-leupold-vx-6
