Rated 5 out of 5

Perfect on 1895 Marlin

I knew Leupold scopes could handle the recoil of heavy 45-70 loads in my Guide Gun. The heavy duplex is fast on target and works very well in dim light also. The scope is bright, precise and has ample eye relief.

This telescope is very good for my needs. It is a pity that you produce scopes with backlight so little

I AM buying this scope again!

I've had this scope on my Ruger No. 1, .45-70, for many years. It just cannot be beat for hunting in heavily forested areas with thick brush cover. I am getting a lever action, also in .45-70, for wild pigs. Those who have hunted wild pigs know that a quick follow-up shot (or two) is a real good idea. Hence the lever action rifle. But, regardless of which rifle you carry ... this scope will put you on target and on the mark every time!!

• We pushed everything to the limit to make the VX-3 at home on your favorite rifle, whether you are hunting whitetail from a treestand, or stalking sheep in rugged terrain. We've loaded the VX-3 with optical technology: xtended Twilight Lens System, DiamondCoat 2 lens coating, blackened lens edges, second generation waterproofing, twin bias spring erector system, and cryogenically treated adjustments. It's all there to help you make the shots of a lifetime.

Leupold 1.5-5x20 Rifle Scope Features

  • The Xtended Twilight Lens System optimizes the transmission of low-light wavelengths, so you see the details of low-light scenes in greater, brighter detail than with any other riflescope available.
  • DiamondCoat 2 lens coatings on exterior lens surfaces provide the highest level of scratch resistance Leupold has ever offered.
  • The twin bias spring exerts up to 30 percent more holding force on the erector, virtually eliminating erector system backlash and stress on the vital internal workings of the scope, for longer life.
  • Blackened lens edges reduce light diffusion, so more usable light reaches the shooter's eye, for a brighter image with increased contrast.
  • Most VX-3 models available with the Leupold Ballistics Aiming System for more accurate long-range shooting
  • Leupold offers the widest variety of factory standard reticles available, see specifications for model specific options. Even more reticle options available through the Leupold Custom Shop.
  • Finger-adjustable, cryogenically treated, ¼-MOA click windage and elevation adjustments with resettable pointer dials marking the zero point.
  • Tactile power indicator also features built-in range estimation functions and graphite O-rings for easy operation.
  • Internally threaded, lockable, extreme fast-focus eyepiece with Alumina rubber eyepiece guard.
  • A durable Leupold Scope Cover is included to protect your valuable VX-3 riflescope during transport or when not in use.
  • Incredibly rugged, with absolute waterproof integrity using Leupold's proprietary Argon/Krypton gas blend.
  • As a final touch to the VX-3, Leupold mounts a 24k gold-plated ring and medallion to each scope
  • Covered by the Leupold Full Lifetime Guarantee.
