Very nice scope haven't had a chance to use been to cold here in Alaska but I'm sure the scope will live up to the great dependability and accuracy that all my Luepold scopes have in the 50 years I have been using Luepold scopes on all my rifles Thanks for a great product! David Costa

Sharpness and clarity is second to none. I have several Leupold scopes and have never been let down. The fine duplex is fantastic for the coyote hunting I do in the winter. Edges of this glass is crystal clear even at max magnification.

Great scope for my Ruger made Marlin 1895 Trapper MagPul Edition in 45-70. I loved the ease of use of the FireDot control. The scope is durable, looks great on my rifle and most of all, it functioned flawlessly on its maiden voyage on a Texas Whitetail/Aoudad/Hog hunt. It was perfect for shots out to 150-175 yards.

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.

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...

By Randy H.
Great glass with side adjustment providing shooter with exceptional clarity. Power adjustment is smooth and gives enough range for hunting wood lots in the East to the wide open expanses of the West. CDS dial allows easy ranging of distance without holdover. Leupold optics have always served me very well in my hunting and shooting endeavors.

The heavy posts of the Duplex reticle stand out against dense cover, while the thin center lines ensure precise aiming.
Crafted for reliability, the VX-3HD features the ZL Custom Dial System, allowing shooters to customize their turret to match specific ballistics and environmental factors. Once set, the dial can be quickly adjusted to the target range for dead-on accuracy. The innovative ZeroLock system enhances this precision by preventing unintentional dial movements, securing your settings until you decide to make a change.
The riflescope's 1" tube is constructed from lightweight yet sturdy aluminum, offering a balance of ruggedness and ease of handling. The reversible throw lever is a testament to the scope's user-friendly design, facilitating swift magnification adjustments even in the most demanding situations.
Leupold's Elite Optical System is at the core of the VX-3HD's optical prowess, delivering elite-level glare reduction and high-resolution clarity. The system ensures exceptional light transmission from dawn to dusk, providing a bright and clear image when timing is critical.
