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.
What sets the VX-3HD 3.5-10x40mm Riflescope apart is its legendary performance, extreme clarity, and rugged durability, all packed into a lightweight, matte black design. This versatile riflescope is equipped with a range of magnification that can adapt to virtually any scenario, making it an essential tool for any serious hunter or shooter.
Engineered with Leupold's Elite Optical System, the VX-3HD Riflescope offers superior light transmission from dawn to dusk, ensuring a bright, clear image when you need it most. This system also provides elite-level glare reduction in harsh light, and the resolution and clarity that dedicated hunters and shooters require.
The riflescope features an illuminated Second Focal Plane FireDot Twilight Hunter Reticle, complete with seven brightness settings and an easy-to-use illumination dial. This allows for fast target acquisition, even in harsh daylight conditions. The riflescope also boasts match-grade repeatability and ergonomic controls that are easy to read and use, even when wearing gloves.
The VX-3HD Riflescope is equipped with a low-profile, one-revolution CDS ZeroLock dial, ensuring your dial only moves when you want it to. With a simple push of a button, you can unlock it, dial, and then rotate it back to zero to lock it in place.
The 3:1 Zoom Ratio is a common feature in many scope models, offering three times more magnification at high power than at low power. This allows you to adjust your power for close encounters or dial it up for long-range shots.
The ZeroStop system creates a backstop when returning the dial back to zero, preventing accidental full revolution in the wrong direction. The ZeroLock system further enhances this feature by locking the dial in place, eliminating accidental dial movement.
High-definition, calcium-fluoride lenses ensure incredible clarity at all magnification levels. The scope also comes with an illuminated reticle, aiding faster target acquisition in low-light situations.
The Motion Sensor Technology (MST) extends battery life by automatically deactivating illuminated reticles after five minutes of inactivity and reactivates instantly as soon as movement is detected.
The FireDot Twilight Hunter Illumination is designed specifically for low-light situations, providing a simple aiming point with no distractions. Thin lines obscure less of the target and image, while FireDot technology guides your eye to the center of the reticle for quick target acquisition.
Like all Leupold riflescopes, the VX-3HD 3.5-10x40mm Riflescope is designed, machined, and assembled in the USA and guaranteed for life. It's not just a riflescope, it's a reliable partner designed to help you succeed in your hunting or shooting endeavors.
