The Elite Optical System in the Leupold VX-3HD Riflescope ensures superior light transmission from dawn to dusk, provides elite-level glare reduction in harsh light, and delivers the resolution and clarity that dedicated hunters and shooters demand.
The Custom Dial System (CDS) in the VX-3HD Riflescope allows you to customize your turret (adjustment dial) to your exact ballistics and environmental conditions. Once your custom dial is installed, you simply range the target, turn the dial to that number, and aim dead on.
Yes, the Leupold VX-3HD Riflescope is built to withstand extreme weather conditions. It is waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof, ensuring that the internals of the optics remain moisture-free and crystal clear in any environment.
The Fine Duplex reticle feature in the VX-3HD Riflescope, which is situated on the second focal plane, has thinner posts and crosshairs for improved precision.

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...

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.
Because precision and reliability are paramount for hunters and shooters, the Leupold 6.5-20x50 VX-3HD Riflescope stands out as a high-quality, durable, and versatile choice. Engineered to excel in mid to long-range applications, this matte black riflescope is the quintessential tool for those aiming to achieve pinpoint accuracy from the firing line.
Featuring the advanced Elite Optical System, the VX-3HD ensures exceptional dawn-to-dusk light transmission, providing a luminous and clear image when you need it most. The system also boasts elite-level glare reduction for harsh lighting conditions and delivers the resolution and clarity that dedicated hunters and shooters demand.
The scope's high-definition, calcium-fluoride lenses are a testament to its superior clarity across all magnification levels, ensuring that your target is always in sharp focus. With a robust 3:1 zoom ratio, this riflescope offers versatile magnification adjustments, allowing you to seamlessly transition from 6x for close encounters to 20x for precise long-range shots.

Once your custom dial is installed, simply range your target, adjust the dial, and trust in the dead-on accuracy of your shot.
The side focus feature of the VX-3HD is designed to fine-tune the scope's parallax, enhancing the reticle's sharpness and minimizing perceived movement at varying distances. This ensures that your focus remains steadfast on the target, regardless of range.
