I have this on my Ruger American Gen 2. I have only shot it out to 220 yards but the optics were excellent, no CA I could detect, the turrets are rock solid and tactile and I managed multiple sub moa groups at that distance. Two thumbs up

Shipping was fast. Customer service was right to on point, I had an issue with one base mounting screw. A replacement was shipped promptly. Scope has been mounted, working up a load for the rifle. Everything appears to function properly and the glass is exactly what you expect from Leupold! The flip back scope covers are a must have!

The field of view is very difficult to adjust to. I had a hard time getting full view so much so I am selling the scope since I can't return it

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.

Like Usual, Leupold tends to lead in optical clarity and quality. There are a few sharper than desired edges on cut surfaces that could use attention.
Kyler R.

2026-02-13T19:00:00
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

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.
Explore the pinnacle of optical precision and performance with the 4.5-14x50 VX-3HD Riflescope from Leupold. This high-quality, durable scope is engineered to deliver legendary performance and elite optical clarity in a robust yet lightweight package. Its versatile magnification range is ideal for navigating dense timber environments and mastering the expansive terrain of western mountain hunting.
The VX-3HD stands out with its superior low-light capabilities, thanks to Leupold's advanced Elite Optical System. This system ensures exceptional dawn-to-dusk light transmission, providing a bright, clear image when you need it most. Coupled with elite-level glare reduction and the high-definition clarity demanded by serious hunters and shooters, this riflescope is designed to excel in the most challenging lighting conditions.
At the heart of the VX-3HD's precision is the illuminated Second Focal Plane FireDot Twilight Hunter Reticle. This reticle features seven brightness settings and an intuitive illumination dial, ensuring rapid target acquisition even under the harsh glare of daylight. The FireDot design guides your eye swiftly to the center of the reticle for quick, accurate shots.
The scope's match-grade repeatability and ergonomic controls are designed for ease of use, even when wearing gloves. The low-profile, one-revolution CDS ZeroLock dial is a testament to the scope's reliability, ensuring your settings remain precisely as you set them until you decide to make adjustments. Simply press the button to unlock, dial in your range, and return to zero to lock it securely in place.
The 3:1 zoom ratio is a staple feature, offering three times more magnification at high power than at low power, allowing for seamless transitions between close encounters and long-range precision shots. Leupold's Custom Dial System (CDS) enables you to tailor your turret to your specific ballistics and environmental conditions for dead-on accuracy.
Built to withstand the elements, the VX-3HD is waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof. Leupold's pioneering technology ensures the scope's internals remain moisture-free and crystal clear across extreme temperatures, elevation changes, and unexpected shocks.
The Firedot Twilight Hunter Illuminated Reticle is meticulously crafted for low-light scenarios, providing a straightforward aiming point without unnecessary distractions. Its thin lines minimize target and image obstruction, while the FireDot technology and Motion Sensor Technology enhance rapid target acquisition and maintain reticle visibility in dim conditions.
Designed, machined, and assembled in the USA, the 4.5-14x50 VX-3HD Riflescope is a testament to Leupold's commitment to quality and is guaranteed for life. Whether for hunting or target shooting, this riflescope promises to be an indispensable tool for those who demand accuracy, reliability, and advanced features in their optics.
