The second focal plane Duplex reticle in the VX-3HD Riflescope is designed for quick target acquisition and clear visibility in low-light conditions. The heavy posts stand out against dense cover, while the thin center lines ensure precise aiming at different distances.
The ZL Custom Dial System allows shooters to customize their turret to match specific ballistics and environmental factors. Once set, the dial can be quickly adjusted to the target range for dead-on accuracy. The ZeroLock system enhances this precision by preventing unintentional dial movements.
Leupold's Elite Optical System is an advanced optical technology that delivers elite-level glare reduction and high-resolution clarity. The system ensures exceptional light transmission from dawn to dusk, providing a bright and clear image when timing is critical.
The 3:1 zoom ratio is a versatile feature that allows for a wide range of magnification adjustments, from close-quarters to long-range precision. This adaptability makes the riflescope suitable for various shooting conditions.
The riflescope's 1" tube is constructed from lightweight yet sturdy aluminum, offering a balance of ruggedness and ease of handling. Additionally, the lenses are fortified with scratch-resistant coatings that meet rigorous military standards, and the scope is waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof.

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.

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.
What sets the 3.5-10x50 VX-3HD Riflescope apart is its exceptional blend of high-quality performance, durability, and versatility, making it an ideal choice for hunters and target shooters alike. This riflescope boasts a robust matte black finish and is equipped with a second focal plane Duplex reticle, renowned for its quick target acquisition and clear visibility in low-light conditions. The heavy posts of the Duplex reticle stand out against dense cover, while the thin center lines ensure precise aiming.
Crafted for reliability, the VX-3HD features the ZL Custom Dial System, allowing shooters to customize their turret to match specific ballistics and environmental factors. Once set, the dial can be quickly adjusted to the target range for dead-on accuracy. The innovative ZeroLock system enhances this precision by preventing unintentional dial movements, securing your settings until you decide to make a change.
The riflescope's 1" tube is constructed from lightweight yet sturdy aluminum, offering a balance of ruggedness and ease of handling. The reversible throw lever is a testament to the scope's user-friendly design, facilitating swift magnification adjustments even in the most demanding situations.
Leupold's Elite Optical System is at the core of the VX-3HD's optical prowess, delivering elite-level glare reduction and high-resolution clarity. The system ensures exceptional light transmission from dawn to dusk, providing a bright and clear image when timing is critical. Additionally, the lenses are fortified with scratch-resistant coatings that meet rigorous military standards, ensuring your view remains unobstructed.
The 3:1 zoom ratio is a versatile feature that allows for a wide range of magnification adjustments, from close-quarters to long-range precision. This adaptability is further enhanced by the scope's waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof capabilities, which utilize advanced sealing techniques and internal gases to maintain optimal performance in any weather or terrain.
In summary, the 3.5-10x50 VX-3HD Riflescope is a testament to Leupold's commitment to quality, offering shooters a reliable, accurate, and versatile optic designed to excel in various shooting conditions.
