Leupold & Stevens has introduced the VX-3HD line of riflescopes. Aimed squarely at the hunting market, the VX-3HD promises outstanding low-light performance in a lightweight package. Leupold accomplishes the former with the company's Elite Optical System. This system is not only engineered for low-light conditions, but for glare reduction in harsh light as well.
1.5X-5X-20mm
The VX-3HD line will boast a wide array of magnification ranges, objective lens sizes, main tube diameters, elevation adjustment types and more. Illuminated reticles will also be available, and every model will feature a CDS-ZL dial. This Custom Dial System (CDS) eliminates the need for holdover on long shots, while ZeroLock prevents unintended adjustments.
2.5X-8X-36mm
For more information on the VX-3HD series, which includes models ranging from 1.5X-5X-20mm to 6.5X-20X-50mm, please visit leupold.com.
