Leupold VX3HD 6.5-20×40 Scope
The Leupold VX3HD 6.5-20×40 was designed to be incredibly tough and lightweight. It is the perfect workhorse for taking mid to long range shots from the firing line.
Using Leupold’s Elite Optical System, the VX-3HD provides superior dawn to dusk light transmission for a bright image when it matters most, high performance glare reduction in harsh light, and the resolution and clarity diehard hunters and shooters demand. It features a front parallax focus ring that adjusts from infinity all the way down to 10 meters, making it ideal for airguns or rimfire rifles. Leupold also gave it match grade repeatability and ergonomic controls that are easy to read and use, even when with gloves.
Everything Leupold puts into your VX-3HD is there to help you dominate the competition. With is CDS-T dial, you’ll get access to the entire adjustment range of your scope in precise 1/4 MOA increments. Like all Leupold scopes, it’s designed, machined, and assembled in the USA and guaranteed for life.
Leupold VX3HD 6.5-20×40 Features
3:1 Zoom Ratio
A 3:1 zoom ratio is very common in many scope models. It gives you 3 times more magnification at high power than at low power (model magnification ranges are available in powers of 3x: 1.5-5, 2.5-8, 3-9, 3.5-10, etc.), so you can dial your power down for close encounters or all of the way up for long range shots.
Custom Dial System
Leupold’s Custom Dial System (CDS) gives you the ability to customize your turret (adjustment dial) to your exact ballistics and environmental conditions. Once your new custom dial is installed, simply range the target, turn the dial to that number, and aim dead on.
Adjustable Objective
An adjustable objective focuses the scope to minimize the effects of parallax at different distances.
Elite Optical System
Leupold’s Elite Optical System offers excellent dawn to dusk light transmission for a bright image when it matters most, elite level glare reduction in harsh light, and the resolution and clarity that diehard hunters and shooters demand.
High Definition
High definition, calcium fluoride lenses ensure incredible clarity at all magnification levels.
Waterproof, Fog Proof & Shockproof
Leupold pioneered modern waterproof and fog proof technology using advanced internal gasses and sealing methods that withstand extreme temperatures, elevation changes, and shocks, so the internals of the optics stay moisture free and crystal clear for life.
