Leupold 4.5 - 14 x 50mm VX-L Series Riflescope, Matte Black Finish with Varmint Hunters (VH) Reticle.

• When riflescopes first came along well over a century ago, they were placed atop the rifle almost like an afterthought. And as riflescopes' low-light capabilities and technology have advanced, objective lenses have grown larger and larger, resulting in higher and higher mounts and awkward cheek welds. The designs of both the rifle and riflescope seemed to be set in stone, until now. When you make the rules, you can break the rules, so get ready for something from Leupold that breaks them all.
• MAXIMUM LIGHT. MINIMUM HEIGHT: In 2006, Leupold integrated the low-light capability of the modern riflescope with the design of the modern rifle, in an ergonomic riflescope that's different from anything you've ever seen. Introducing the revolutionary new Leupold VX-L. Leupold's optical engineers created a radically different, proprietary, patent-pending design that forms a small crescent in the lower radius of the objective lens, so the VX-L can be mounted to hug the barrel, like part of the rifle itself. Leupold's legendary low-light performance, ruggedness, and absolute waterproof integrity remain 100 percent intact. No sacrifices, only the pioneering performance you can expect from Leupold, America's Optics Authority®.
• Mount your 50mm VX-L as low as a typical 36mm riflescope, and your 56mm VX-L as low as a 40mm riflescope, while gaining a larger exit pupil and other low-light advantages! But that's not all. The VX-L also features our Second Generation of waterproofing technology, our exclusive DiamondCoat Index Matched Lens System with new blackened lens edges, and more. If you've been waiting for the low down on low-light performance, it's finally here.
• Light Optimization Profile gives you the low-light performance advantages of a large objective riflescope, without the high mount. The 50mm VX-L mounts like a 36mm riflescope, yet delivers 48.6 percent more Total Light Throughput (TLT)! Likewise, the 56mm VX-L mounts like a 40mm riflescope, and delivers 96 percent more Total Light Throughput. The lower mount also gives your rifle better balance, and the quick accurate aiming that comes with a low-mount cheekweld.
