Fantastic eye relief, FOV and magnification power for those needing a rifle scope that is light in weight and small in stature. Absolutely perfect for the "woods" rifle or a light mountain rifle.

I love this scopes and the last few scopes I have bought. I have had no bad experience from the purchasing to customer service when I had a question. They have it figured out and have a customer for life!!

I have always been a fan of Leupold optics as I have several different types from years past. The quality of this scope is true to the Leupold name. I especially like the clarity and the WIND-PLEX reticle. The side focus is a true plus.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, I haven't been able to use my new scope yet. I do have an older VX-3 2. 5-8x36 which I have been very satisfied with, and that's why I bought the new one. I may or may not take advantage of the CDS-ZL feature in favor of just sighting in the old fashioned way (high at 100 yards) to maximize point blank range and use estimated holdover beyond that. I think it unlikely I would have time to make adjustments in the field given the nature of the hunting I do in the northeastern woods.

I have many Leupold scopes because to me they are the best made. I have owned nothing but Leupold since the 1960's

The scope is crystal clear and well made as you'd expect from Leupold. The only reason for the four stars is I feel there could be more adjustment and if it had more it'd definitely get the fifth star from me. Over all I'd definitely buy it again and recommend it.

This scope is a great scope for the 360 buck hammer, or any lever gun. I mounted it with extra low ring and removed the rear buck horn sights, and the rifle balances the same as a gun without a scope. The gun is zero at 100 yard and I am able to dial to 200 yards to maximize the buck hammer potential. This scope will be my go too for future lever gun I plan on buying.

Mounted the 3. 5x10x50 on my Browning X Bolt in 7mm-08. I took it to the range today and zeroed at 200 with custom reloads the rifle likes. 140 grain Sierra Gamekings @ 2800 fps. I then turned the custom dial to 300. Shot one time at the 300 yard target. It was right in the x ring.

Clear and bright scope. It's mounted on a Ruger RSM in 416 Rigby. I was going to take this set up to Africa this year. But due to some unforeseen circumstances I had to change calibers. Hope to use this set up in the future. Would highly recommend.

Leupold is the only scope I use on my hunting rifles. The scope just makes it easier to hunt with. The clear crisp view you get looking through the scope is awesome.

I purchased the VX-3HD 2. 5-8x36 CDS-ZL direct from Leupold using their most generous, VIP pricing for retired military. The experience was typical Leupold; exceptional! The scope has the duplex reticle and CDS-ZL dial, which Is a great feature for use on larger scopes, but not really required on this particular configuration. However; since this is the only option offered, I still purchased it. The scope has incredible FOV, optical clarity and resolution along with exceptional eye relief. This is the perfect scope for a lightweight rifle set up to hunt Whitetail deer and Moose in the Northeast.

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...

Leupold VX3 HD 4.5-14 Side Focus Riflescope
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.
What sets the 3.5-10x50 VX-3HD Riflescope apart is its exceptional blend of high-quality performance, durability, and versatility, making it an ideal choice for hunters and target shooters alike. This riflescope boasts a robust matte black finish and is equipped with a second focal plane Duplex reticle, renowned for its quick target acquisition and clear visibility in low-light conditions. 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. Additionally, the lenses are fortified with scratch-resistant coatings that meet rigorous military standards, ensuring your view remains unobstructed.
The 3:1 zoom ratio is a versatile feature that allows for a wide range of magnification adjustments, from close-quarters to long-range precision. This adaptability is further enhanced by the scope's waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof capabilities, which utilize advanced sealing techniques and internal gases to maintain optimal performance in any weather or terrain.
In summary, the 3.5-10x50 VX-3HD Riflescope is a testament to Leupold's commitment to quality, offering shooters a reliable, accurate, and versatile optic designed to excel in various shooting conditions. As with all Leupold riflescopes, this model is proudly designed, machined, and assembled in the USA, ensuring that each scope meets the highest standards of craftsmanship and is guaranteed for life.
