Review Summary

Top quality as expected. I own over 20 Leupold optics old and new, seems they just keep getting better.

Impressed with the quality of the material and manufacturing. First high quality scope I have ever owned. I was most impressed with the ease to acquire the target using this reticle pattern.

This is a great scope. I have 2 of these and am not disappointed. The light the 30 mm tube pulls in during low light conditions is exceptional. The clarity is great. I have had no issues with this scope. Would highly recommend.

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 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.

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.
The Leupold VX-3HD 4.5-14x40mm Riflescope, presented in a sleek matte black finish, is a high-quality, durable, and reliable choice for hunters and target shooters alike. This versatile riflescope is designed with a second focal plane Wind-Plex reticle, enhancing accuracy and range estimation at varying distances.
Engineered with a 30mm tube and a 40mm objective lens, this riflescope offers a variable power range from 4x to 18x, making it adaptable for both close encounters and long-range shots. Its 3:1 zoom ratio, a common feature in many scope models, provides three times more magnification at high power than at low power.
The VX-3HD is renowned for its elite optical clarity and exceptional performance in low light conditions. Thanks to Leupold's Elite Optical System, this riflescope ensures excellent dawn-to-dusk light transmission, elite-level glare reduction in harsh light, and the resolution and clarity that dedicated hunters and shooters require.
This riflescope is equipped with Leupold's Custom Dial System (CDS), allowing you to customize your turret to your exact ballistics and environmental conditions. The ZeroLock system further enhances accuracy by preventing accidental dial movement.
Constructed with lightweight aluminum housing, the VX-3HD is rugged and durable without adding unnecessary weight to your gear. Its high-definition, calcium-fluoride lenses guarantee incredible clarity at all magnification levels.
Additional features include a lockable eyepiece for a personalized focus setting, scratch-resistant lenses for added protection, and waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof technology for reliable performance in various conditions.
The Wind-Plex reticle expands on the Duplex reticle, aiding in compensating for crosswinds. With hash marks in 1 MOA increments extending to 10 MOA on each side, it can be used with any caliber round and is best utilized with our CDS.
Like all Leupold riflescopes, the VX-3HD is designed, machined, and assembled in the USA, ensuring top-notch quality and performance. This riflescope is not just an accessory; it's a trusted tool designed to help you succeed in your hunting or shooting endeavors.
