Awesome Scope

This scope is very durable. I have it on my 308 and it is clearest scope I own. I own 4 other leupold scopes, but this particular scope is the clearest by far. I shoot my rifle out at 600-800 yards and it is as clear as it is at 100 yards

So I installed the Backcountry

So I installed the Backcountry base on my . 300 win mag, with a Leupold 4. 5-14x50mm VX-3, so far it's a great combination and has allowed me around 14 moa adjustment up for longer shots.

Best scope on the market

Excellent clarity, holds zero, sighted my rifle in 5 years ago when I purchased the scope, and haven't had to touch it since, been on countless whitetail hunts with it both in the stand and participating in drives, this scope is an absolute work horse

Extremely accurate without having to use an extra app from my phone, or look at a dope sheet. Just range it, turn the dial and squeeze.

Insanely clear

I have two vx3i 4.5-14x50. I hunt whitetail I sit in a field so I take long range shots. These scopes are so clear, clean and crisp. I put a 2.5 inch shade on it they work great in low light or sunny conditions. I recommend everyone to get one of these

Buying Leupold over and over again.

I?ve been a Leupold fan and customer since my college days in Montana in the eighties. Over the years I did acquire other vendor products for my hunting and target rifles, only to revisit the optics on half of them and re-equip with Leupold scopes. My interest lately has been long range, accurate and repeatable performance, not to mention lighter overall weight of rifles. Lugging 9.5 lb rifles is a thing of the past. Now I go for 6.5-8 lb. setups and can mostly achieve them with Leupold scopes. The Leopold scopes are the lightest, clearest, excellent CDS turrets with generous eye relief that you can buy. I never had to worry about the toughness. They took everything I dishes out in rugged terrain handling and never had to re-zero. I don?t see the need to spend more money for the European kinds. With a total of 17 Leupolds so far I have the piece of mind of great warranty and support from Leupold, which I actually never had to use!

Love this scope

I was a little late to the game on getting one of these scopes since it was discontinued. I was running a Vortex viper hst on my 26 Nosler for 6 years. Never liked the open R/L turret on it and its caused me a few poor placed or missed shots. I put a 6.5-20 LRP on it because it came with a better zero stop and a cap for the R/L turret. The glass is fantastic, zero stop is easy to set, and its lighter than the viper. I sited in to 1.5in high at a 100, was zeroed at 200, rang gongs from 300-500 with dailing then back to 100 to check to see if it came back to 1.5in high. It tracked perfectly. I wish it wasn't discontinued or I would pick one up for my 6.5PRC.

Great scope!

I'm very impressed with the clarity from this scope. The magnification is amazing. I zoomed in on a cow 120 yards away, I was able to focus in and count the flies on her back. Wow! I would 100% buy this scope again.

Perfect Combination for Thick Brush

Mounted on a Tikka T3X CTR in .308 Win. Perfect combination of magnification, weight, size. The Tikka is fast-handling and the Leupold VX3i 2.5-8x 36mm scope is a very effective complement. Most of my shooting is within 100 yards (never more than 150 yards) and this scope provided quick acquisition. I think a higher magnification would have hindered acquisition. Eric from your Sales Department gave a wonderful recommendation for Leupold rings to go with this scope. Altogether, very happy! Thank you.

No Tick Mark to Reference for Dial Indication

For the price of this scope, I expect windage and elevation adjustment dials that precisely reference a tick mark on the scope body itself. Instead, you get dials that don't even have an obvious tick for 0 and nothing on the scope body itself as a point of reference as to where you are in the dial rotation. On top of this, the threads for the locking focus eyepiece are covered in grease which will just attract dust and grit. I cannot think of any scope I've ever come across that exposes grease in this area, even cheap ones. Plus side is it's very light and the glass is nice. Eye relief is good enough. Clicks when you do adjust the dials are positive, but I need dials that tell me the information I need to know - these don't.

Great glass, awesome price!

Put this on my new rifle and and got zeroed so far. Worked on the zero on another rifle with a different brand of scope, with comparable features, at the same time and the quality of the leupold scope was "CLEARLY" better, see what I did there? Setting the zero stop was effortless, and the amount of light this lets in is fantastic. I can't say enough good things about the leupold scope and their great customer service. I will use nothing but leupold form now on! # sweepstakes #betterthantherest #getoutandhunt

The best for the money I spent.

I am putting this scope on my M1A Super Match and wanted a quality scope for it, that fits my budget. Of all the different manufacturers, I found Leupold to be the best for the money I spent. The scope I chose will be able to find its target, and with its large magnification, will let me see beyond, which is important to anyone shooting. I am looking forward to my next time shooting with this combination.

I love this scope!

I put the 4.5-14x40mm with the B&C reticle on my Winchester Model 70 I had custom made to a 280AI. This is a great shooting rifle and I have owned nothing but Leupold for years and this one did not disappoint either. So far it has a cow elk, whitetail buck, antelope doe, and a really nice grizzly bear. All were one shot. I have never had an issue or problem with any Leupold scope ever! They are rugged and Leupold stands behind them although it's doubtful that you will need to use the warranty. If they ever stop making them here in the USA though I will never purchase another Leupold. Buy it you will not be disappointed.

Trustworthy and Tough

By wafiwhacker

I do a lot of load development for long range hunting which means I have certain scopes I can rely on to check accuracy during the process. This LRP is one of them. It has lived on 308's, 6.5's and 300WM's that I have shot out to 1000 yards with this scope at the range. I've recently had it on a 270win that I just finished developing for and I've left it on there and I'm hunting with the setup for hogs. It will move again onto another rifle at some point for sure but it will never leave me! C...

Amazing Scope!

By steelwool

I was debating this scope, or a competitors equivalent scope. I went with the Leupold LRP becuase of the trusted name of Leupold. Boy was i glad i did! I was able to compare this to the scope i was thinking of getting at the range, and i made the right choice! This glass on this scope is amazing! The dials are repeatable and it tracks true. Lots of features are included in this scope for a great price point. High recommended.

When long range hunters, shooters or precision rifle competitors need extreme accuracy, the VX-3i LRP (Long Range Precision) delivers. The Twilight Max light management system lets you hunt longer or pick out distant targets from the shadows with unsurpassed clarity and resolution. Choose first or second focal plane reticles in MOA or MIL, with matching adjustment increments to match your specific shooting style. The all new elevation adjustment features a unique travel indicator marked in 5 mil or 5 moa increments and is easy to read from the prone or difficult shooting positions. An adjustable zero stop prevents over rotation.

The windage dial features a protective cover that can be replaced with the included thread protector if you prefer running an exposed dial. A redesigned power selector with included throw lever makes magnification changes quick and easy. The VX-3i LRP defines Versatility.

1/4 MOA Target
Features 1/4-MOA target-style click windage and elevation adjustments.

100% Waterproof and Fog Proof
Absolute waterproof and fog proof integrity - each is ready for a lifetime in the field, in all conditions.

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.

Blackened Lens Edges
Blackened lens edges reduce light diffusion, so more usable light reaches the shooter's eye. This results in a brighter image with increased contrast.

DiamondCoat 2
Exterior lens surfaces are treated with DiamondCoat 2, an ion-assist lens coating, for higher light transmission and the greatest level of abrasion resistance we've ever offered. DiamondCoat 2 has the additional advantage of assisting in light transmission, for greater brightness, clarity and contrast and will prove its worth in the wildest places on earth.

Dual Use
All Leupold optics offer performance that makes them equally at home in hunting or tactical environments, thanks to their outstanding accuracy, legendary ruggedness and absolute waterproof integrity.

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.
