I use it at 50' on a 22 rimfire benchrest shooting. Like that you can adjust the parallax down to be able to shoot 50'. Would recommend this scope for a 22 rimfire.

The clarity and versatility of this scope make it a perfect fit for our combat veteran/ first responders program, The Veterans Afield Foundation. Wether hunting close quarters in thick timber and low light or open country and long range this scope adapts to the circumstances.

As usual Leupold Scopes are awesome we put this scope on our 22 rifles and we're hitting a 4" gong at 210 yards! We're really enjoying these scopes.

Upgraded from a VX 3 50 that I have had 15 plus years. The 50 was great but the new HD with the 40 obj. provided even better clarity and brightness. Also, great customer service

Great quality. Very durable and easy to use cds

The scope is great, but its hard to use when yall don't mounts in stock and or you have removed many of the 30 mm rings, not to mention the bases.
Chris K.

I have not used this in a hunting situation yet but my initial impression is positive about this scope. I sighted it in on my 6. 8 western with no issues. The glass is crystal clear

Great shopping experience, fast delivery. I really like the red fire dot to help focus on the target. The CDS dial was delivered quick and looks great.

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

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 VX-3HD 3.5-10x50mm delivers legendary performance and extreme clarity in an incredibly tough, lightweight package. Its versatile magnification and larger objective can get the job done in almost any scenario.
The VX-3HD delivers outstanding performance in low light. With Leupold's Elite Optical System, it has excellent dawn-to-dusk light transmission for a bright image when it matters most, elite-level glare reduction in harsh light, and the resolution and clarity that diehard hunters and shooters demand. The illuminated FireDot reticle with seven brightness settings and easy-to-use illumination dial will get you on target fast, even in harsh daylight. We also gave it match-grade repeatability and ergonomic controls that are easy to read and use, even with gloves. The VX-3HD is the best lightweight, low-light hunting scope in its class. And with its low-profile, one-revolution CDS ZeroLock dial, you can be confident your dial will only move when you want it to. Push the button to unlock it, dial, and then rotate it back to zero to lock it in place. It's that simple.
Everything we put into your VX-3HD is there to help you tag out. Like all Leupold riflescopes, it's designed, machined, and assembled in the USA and guaranteed for life.
Features
3:1 Zoom Ratio
A 3:1 zoom ratio is very common in many scope models. It gives you 3 times more magnification at high power than at low power, so you can dial your power down for close encounters or all of the way up for long-range shots.
Zero Stop
The ZeroStop system creates a backstop when returning the dial back to zero, so you don't accidently turn the dial a full revolution in the wrong direction.
Zero Lock Dial
The ZeroLock system eliminates accidental dial movement by locking it in place.
Custom Dial System Compatible
Leupold's Custom Dial System (CDS) gives you the ability to customize your turret (adjustment dial) to your exact ballistics and environmental conditions. Once your new custom dial is installed, simply range the target, turn the dial to that number, and aim dead on.
Illuminated
This scopes comes with an illuminated reticle, which can help you get on target faster in low-light situations.
High Definition
High-definition, calcium-fluoride lenses ensure incredible clarity at all magnification levels.
Elite Optical System
Leupold's Elite Optical System offers excellent dawn-to-dusk light transmission for a bright image when it matters most, elite-level glare reduction in harsh light, and the resolution and clarity that diehard hunters and shooters demand.
Motion Sensor Technology (MST)
Motion Sensor Technology (MST) extends battery life by automatically deactivating illuminated reticles after five minutes of inactivity and then reactivates instantly as soon as movement is detected.
Waterproof Fogproof, & Shockproof
Leupold pioneered modern waterproof and fogproof technology using advanced internal gasses and sealing methods that withstand extreme temperatures, elevation changes, and shocks, so the internals of the optics stay moisture free and crystal clear for life.
FireDot Twilight Hunter Illum.
Designed specifically for low-light situations
Provides a simple aiming point with no distractions
Thin lines obscure less of the target and image
FireDot technology brings your eye to the center of the reticle for quick target acquisition
