It's a Leupold. It's all I use on my hunting rifles. The VX6HD is nothing short of phenomenal. It's easy to setup and use. Not to mention looks awesome. Thanks Leupold for making amazing products!

Can't say enough about the ease of use of this optic. Remarkably easy and intuitive to get set and use while providing the best clarity I've personally ever had in an optic. The throw lever and aluminum caps are an added bonus and both are great quality.

Excellent scope. I bought this for my son for an elk hunt in NM. The clarity is as expected and held great light too. I will absolutely purchase another one for my next rifle.

Love this scope so far. Haven't had it in the mountains yet. Loved my VX-5, bought another rifle so I needed another scope. I've been buying Leupold for awhile and have been been impressed with them so far.

It's is the best scope

It's is the best scope I own. I won't purchase any other scope but a Leupold. I have 28 Leupold rifle and pistol scopes. I also have 3 pair of Leupold binoculars a Leupold range finder and a Leupold spotting scope. This scope is amazing. I am taking a long range rifle school in the spring with the Winchester Model 70 stealth II 308 that I put the scope on. I zeroed it at 100 yards and touched 3 holes together. I am a retired police officer and a USMC Desert Storm veteran. I was a 50 caliber gunner. I purchased a Barrett 50 BMG and yes I have a Leupold on it to. Keep up the great work of building these finest optics. I have also taken many game animals with the Leupold.

The perfect scope. Crystal clear and excellent low light capability. The magnification range is awesome with 4 being low enough for any application and 24 is like a telescope. The fiiredot makes it easy to acquire the target as fast as possible.

This is the best scope

This is the best scope for open high country hunts! Very lightweight and very capable. I love the reticle, everything you need, nothing you don't. With both the zero stop windage and elevation, then with the hash marks in the reticle, you have tools to make long range shots. I greatly prefer the more simplistic reticle over more expensive busy FFP scopes. AND, it's pretty lightweight. I mounted this VX-6HD on a Savage 110 Ultralite in . 300 WSM, with a Silencer Co Scythe TI, using the Leupold light weight ring mounts, and the set up weights 8lbs.

The VX-6 3-18 has got

The VX-6 3-18 has got to be the best scope for hunters simply because it covers the low end at 3 power for a wide field of view for fast or moving shots and on 18 power you have the power to zoom for long shots, add Leupold Super Clear lenses what more do you need ! I love them !

By K S.

Like most, I've spent endless nights researching long-range scopes - glass, turrets, magnifications, low light, weight, size, plex, etc I get it! Just so you know where I'm coming from, I've shot and owned the NightForce NXS, Swarovski X5 and Z5, and Zeiss Conquest all of which were good; however, after shooting and hunting with the VX-6HD, I've now sold all of my other scopes. I purchased this scope from Sportsman's Warehouse to go on a coues hunt in Mexico this last year. Low-light visibili...

Great Product

By Rky O.

I bought this scope to fit in top of my Weatherby Mark V for achieving longer distance elk hunting capability during late season in the Colorado scrub oaks. The weather is very cold in late December and the wind makes it worse. The scope performed flawlessly in these conditions and the images through the scope are clear/crisp. Before the hunt we sighted in the scope at elevation and with temps around 0 degrees, no issues with sight in at all with a few shots at 50 yards and the same at 100. W...

Leupold built the VX-6HD to do what other scopes can't. The advanced High-Definition optical system delivers sharpened clarity and the Twilight Max Light Management System gives unparalleled low-light performance, allowing hunters a visible advantage at dawn and dusk when the biggest game is on the move.

The new CDS-ZL2 dial locks in place so it cannot be inadvertently rotated off its zero. A mere press of a button will allow the user to dial up elevation, up to 38 MOA (80cm), if necessary. All Leupold VX-HD riflescopes are CDS capable and include one free Custom Ballistic Dial with purchase. To push its capabilities further, we added an electronic reticle level for precise installation, a throw lever for fast magnification changes and an even more robust erector system. Alumina flip-back lens covers included.

2nd Generation Argon/Krypton Waterproofing
Features our exclusive, proprietary Argon/Krypton gas blend, which nearly eliminates the effects of thermal shock and reduces the diffusion of gases sealed inside your scope even more than our proven nitrogen technology already does.

30mm Maintube
The 30mm maintube offers incredible strength and allows for the greater range of windage and elevation adjustment.

6061-T6 Aircraft Quality Aluminum
Crafted from 6061-T6 aircraft quality aluminum.

6:1 Zoom Ratio
A powerful 6:1 zoom ratio delivers crystal clear images from edge-to-edge throughout the entire magnification range and the Twin Bias Spring Erector System features berylium/copper alloy leaf springs and 30% more holding force to withstand the most intense recoil and abuse.

Alumina Flipback Lens Covers Included
Includes our high-quality Alumina flip-back lens covers.

BAS (Ballistic Aiming System)
Select models are available with the Leupold Ballistics Aiming System. With multiple aiming points for longer ranges and varying wind speeds and infinite power selector settings to match your rifle's ballistics, the Ballistics Aiming System can help you master the art of accurate, long-range shooting.

CDS-ZL2 Zero Lock Adjustment with Revolution Indicator
The CDS-ZL2 elevation adjustment dials easily for quick sight-in and to set for target ranges. Press the ZeroLock button to release and dial as much as 38MOA elevation. Dial back to zero and the lock snaps back into place automatically, ensuring correct re-zero and that the dial cannot accidentally move.

Electronic Reticle Level
Shoot your VX-6HD more accurately at longer distances by using the easy-to-use Electronic Reticle Level. Activate the level by holding down the illumination push button for 15 seconds and repeat to deactivate. The level feature also temporarily deactivates illumination when you rotate the scope over 30 degrees, so you can lay the rifle on its side to save battery power.

FireDot Illumination
Our powered fiber optic reticle technology provides the perfect blend of daylight illumination and optimal light transmission and contrast for low light hunting situations.

Generous Eyebox
Get on target faster so you can take the shot of a lifetime. Even at higher powers, the longer eye relief and generous eyebox provides incredible head position latitude, edge-to-edge brightness and a full clear sight picture that fills the eyepiece completely.

Guard-Ion Rain Shedding Coating
Our Guard-Ion rain shedding coating is extremely durable, scratch resistant and sheds water, dirt and fingerprints.

MST (Motion Sensor Technology)
Proprietary MST (Motion Sensor Technology) automatically deactivates illumination after 5 minutes of inactivity, yet reactivates instantly as soon as any movement is detected.

Push Button Illumination
One button brightness control with a high/low indicator keeps it simple.

Reversible Throw Lever
The reversable throw lever clamps onto VX-6HD power selector to provide leverage for fast magnification changes, left or right handed.

Side Focus
Side focus parallax adjustment for fast, easy parallax focusing from any shooting position.

Twilight Max Light Management System
Light management means delivering usable light to your eye and forming a crisp, high contrasting image. Lens coatings are applied that maximize light transmission in blue and red and balancing colors to develop the highest possible contrast. Glare is controlled with special mechanical structures. This means you can see antler tines in dark shadows long after the competition has gone home.

Twin Bias Spring Erector System
The twin bias spring exerts up to 30 percent more holding force on the erector, virtually eliminating erector system backlash and stress on the vital internal workings of the scope, for longer life.

Zero Lock Windage Adjustment
ZeroLock prevents unintended adjustments and ensures an accurate return to zero. Fast and easy to use.
