Get the rundown on two fine optic offerings from Leupold.

Riflescopes with parallax adjustments, illuminated reticles, 8X zoom ranges and turrets dialing past 1,500 yards are impressive, but do we really need that to still-hunt whitetails in Ohio farmland or chase elk at 8,000 feet in Idaho? An optic like Leupold’s new VX-3i 3.5X-10X-40mm with the Boone & Crockett ballistic reticle is likely better suited for most hunters’ needs. This 12.6-ounce scope, a reengineered upgrade from the previous VX-3, is bright, sharp, slim and extremely reliable.

Leupold & Stevens, Inc. has announced the return of the Project Hunt contest, which offers hunters across the United States the chance to have an upcoming hunt filmed and shared across Leupold’s digital media platforms.

With high-definition lenses and extended low-light hunting performance, the VX-5HD riflescope line is an excellent example of the pertinent developments in hunting optics in recent years.

Leupold's new VX-Freedom riflescope line provides many of the same benefits as its more expensive scopes for substantially less money. Available in 14 variable-power models with four magnification ranges, five objective diameters and six reticles, all VX-Freedom scopes have 1-inch maintubes, which keeps size and weight reasonable.

Leupold introduces five new optics to its VX-Freedom line of riflescopes, including models with illuminated reticles, 30mm maintubes and more.

The VX-3HD CDS-ZL gives you more than your money’s worth. If you’re an old-school (or at least older) hunter who’s settled in with your old scope, you might want to entertain a roving eye in the scope realm.

Leupold’s VX-3HD riflescopes are lightweight, rugged and well balanced, and included in the line may be the best value for a hunter looking to cover all the bases: the 4.5-14x40mm. With its 30mm main tube, this scope offers a wider range of elevation adjustment than its 1-inch counterparts, as well as better light transmission.
