The optic is clear, it

The optic is clear, it performs well in low light situations with the clearly visible red dot with astigmatism. I love the way they finished out this duplex. I have two of these Twilight scopes and besides the German Reticles of the old custom shop this is my favorite reticle for dawn-dusk hunting.

Absolutely love this scope, great

Absolutely love this scope, great midrange tier pricing that delivers. I will say the eye relief at full zoom is near impossible to use however with 14x zoom I haven't really needed the full throw. I was unable to get the scope any closer for additional eye relief (which it needs) due to bevel on scope. I did use leupold xbolt rings so I was disappointed in needing a base plate to achieve desired eye relief. Definitely not disappointed in scopes performance or the lightness.

Outstanding value

This is my 1st Leupold scope and I LOVE IT! I've used other high end brands and wanted a scope for late evening pigs with illumination. This scope fit the bill and ut didn't break the bank. Glass is very clear and the push-button illumination works fantastic. I have since ordered 2 more. I would highly recommend this scope. Outstanding value.

VX-3HD 1-5-5 Twilight (30mm) - Perfect Short Range Hunting Scope

By Chris G.

I waited patiently for these to become available and grabbed one as soon as they were in stock. This scope replaced a Steiner PX4i 1-4 on my 450 Bushmaster deer rifle and it checks all the boxes. The Steiner was an awesome scope, but this one is clearer, brighter, lighter, and just as rugged - without a cluttered/busy reticle. I love the duplex width and the Firedot is just what I need for those last minute shots. The distances I shoot don?t require dialing the elevation turret, but the ZL w...
