## Description

The VX-3HD delivers what hunters want most in a riflescope: outstanding performance in low light, in an incredibly tough yet lightweight package. With Leupold’s Elite Optical System, the VX-3HD delivers 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 demand. We also gave it match-grade repeatability and ergonomic controls that are easy to read and use, even with gloves. Models with illuminated reticles make the VX-3HD the best lightweight, low-light hunting scope in its class. And with its low-profile, one-revolution CDS ZeroLock dial, you can be confident your dial will only move when you want it to. Push the button to unlock it, dial, and then rotate it back to zero to lock it in place. It’s that simple. Everything we put into your VX-3HD is there to help you tag out.

Review: Great hunting scope for a rifle . Good clarity at dawn and dusk. Good focus through the 3xto 10x powers. Withstands 7mm mag and 30-06 recoil fine. Good warranty if needed. Eye relief is good as well as eye box.
Review: Really nice glass for the price point. The custom dial really makes for easy distance shooting.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by J***I on 2 February 2024*

I was wary of spending so much on a scope when I could get a cheaper vortex or primary arms. However, after multiple people with way more experience than me recommended this Leupold, I made the jump. And, boy, am I glad I did! It was very easy to set up and torque to Leupold's recommendations. This scope stands out with its quality and clarity. The viewing experience during dawn and dusk is exceptional, providing a level of detail that is unmatched by other scopes I've ever used before. I honestly think my eyes are more relaxed and can see better through the scope than without it! It is that good. While the price might be a bit much compared to other more budget scopes, the old saying holds true – you get what you pay for. In the case of the Leupold VX-3HD, the investment is definitely justified!
