Leupold VX-3HD 1.5-5x20 30 mm iR CDS-ZL FireDot spotting scope

The Leupold VX-3HD 1.5-5x20 30mm iR CDS-ZL FireDot is a top-notch rifle scope designed to cater to the needs of hunters and sport shooters. Boasting the remarkable Elite Optical System, Twilight Hunter illuminated target reticle, MST motion sensor, and ZeroStop system, this scope offers exceptional performance and protection against unintended zero changes, making it a perfect choice for dynamic shooting at short and medium ranges.

Key Features of the Mark VX-3HD Series:

Elite Optical System:

The scope's optical brilliance is unparalleled, even in challenging conditions. It features enhanced Twilight Efficiency, which boosts image brightness during low-light situations, extending the shooting window by approximately 30 minutes. Moreover, it effectively eliminates image blur and stray light reflections, delivering edge-to-edge sharpness, image depth, and contrast.

Optional Custom Dial Barrel System:

For long-range shooting, the scope offers an optional Custom Dial barrel system, eliminating the need for complex aiming point corrections due to factors like distance, gravity, and wind effects. This system ensures precise and convenient adjustments for accurate long-distance shots.

Lightweight and Durable Construction:

Crafted with a robust construction, the VX-3HD scope efficiently disperses recoil energy, enhancing its longevity and durability. Leupold Punisher durability tests subject the scopes to 5,000 recoil tests, experiencing shocks with energy three times that of a .308 rifle.

30mm Tube for Enhanced Adjustment Range:

Equipped with a 30mm tube, the scope provides a wider range of aiming reticle adjustment, giving shooters more flexibility in fine-tuning their shots.

Fast Focus for Quick Magnification Changes:

The scope features a practical Fast Focus system with an unscrewable lever, allowing for swift and smooth magnification changes on the go.

Robust Construction:

Designed to withstand various environmental challenges, the scope's tube is resistant to moisture, dew, extreme temperatures, and elevation changes, ensuring reliability in diverse shooting conditions.

Secondary Sight Illuminated Reticle:

With a secondary sight illuminated reticle, the VX-3HD scope offers versatile usability, catering to different shooting preferences and scenarios.

125 MOA Adjustment Range:

The scope boasts an increased adjustment range of 125 MOA, providing shooters with ample room for precise adjustments.

Modern Technologies:

Compact and versatile, the Leupold VX-3HD 1.5-5x20 scope measures 243mm in length and weighs a mere 344g. Its 30mm diameter aluminum (6061-T6) tube allows for a significantly broader range of reticle settings adjustments, both vertically and horizontally, compared to its inch version. Filled with dry nitrogen gas, the scope effectively counteracts thermal shock and internal lens evaporation issues.

Clear and Bright Image Quality:

Leupold prioritizes image quality and brightness, incorporating high-resolution calcium fluoride lenses that ensure crystal-clear imagery and sharpness at all magnification levels. The durable coating on the lens surfaces provides protection against scratches and minimizes water, dirt, and fingerprint buildup.

Twilight Hunter Sighting Reticle:

Featuring the Twilight Hunter illuminated aiming point, the scope's crosshair consists of four arms transitioning from 3.4 MOA thickness to 0.4 MOA hairline beams from the midpoint. The high-contrast reticle and illuminated red dot enable precise and rapid shooting in various lighting conditions. The FireDot fiber-optic aiming point centers the shooter's sight on the reticle swiftly and instinctively. Illumination adjustments, with seven levels, offer optimal usage in different lighting conditions and times of day.

CDS System for Precision Shooting:

The scope employs an innovative Custom Dial System (CDS) that empowers shooters to adjust the elevation barrel settings to match specific ammunition's distance and ballistics. The CDS-ZL2 low-profile adjustment turret prevents accidental changes in settings, and the Zero Lock system ensures easy resetting of the settings at the push of a button. Once properly configured, shooters can achieve accurate and consistent long-distance shots without relying on elevation tables for aiming point adjustments.

Motion Sensor Technology (MST):

With MST, the scope's backlight automatically turns off after five minutes of inactivity, conserving battery life. Reactivating the dot illumination is as simple as moving the rifle, and the backlight control circuit warns users of low battery status.
