Leupold VX-3HD 3.5-10x40 30 mm iR CDS-ZL FireDot spotting scope

The Leupold VX-3HD 3.5-10x40 30mm iR CDS-ZL FireDot is a highly versatile scope designed to cater to the needs of hunters and sport shooters alike. Boasting the Elite Optical System, Twilight Hunter illuminated target reticle, MST motion sensor, and ZeroStop system, this scope is equipped with a range of features to enhance shooting performance and accuracy. Its exceptional suitability for dynamic shooting at both short and medium ranges makes it an excellent choice for a variety of shooting scenarios.

Key Features of the Mark VX-3HD Series:

Elite Optical System:

The scope's Elite Optical System delivers unparalleled brightness, ensuring clear and sharp images even in challenging lighting conditions. With enhanced Twilight Efficiency, it effectively improves image brightness during low-light situations for approximately 30 minutes. Additionally, the system eliminates image blur and stray light reflections, while premium lenses provide edge-to-edge sharpness, enhancing image depth and contrast.

Optional Custom Dial System (CDS):

For long-range shooting, the optional Custom Dial System (CDS) eliminates the need for aiming point corrections due to distance, gravity, and wind effects. This feature streamlines the shooting process and allows for accurate and precise shots at extended ranges.

Lightweight and Durable Construction:

Designed to disperse recoil energy evenly, the scope features a lightweight and durable construction. Leupold Punisher durability tests ensure the scopes can withstand rigorous conditions, subjecting them to 5,000 recoil tests with shocks three times greater than that of a .308 rifle.

30mm Tube:

With a 30mm tube diameter, the scope offers a greater range of aiming reticle adjustment, enhancing versatility and adaptability in various shooting situations.

Fast Focus:

Equipped with a convenient unscrewable lever, the Fast Focus feature allows for quick and easy magnification changes, ensuring swift adjustments during shooting.

Robust Construction:

The scope's tube is designed to resist moisture, dew, extreme temperatures, and elevation changes, ensuring consistent performance in challenging environments.

Secondary Sight-In Reticle:

The inclusion of a secondary sight-in reticle adds to the scope's versatility and usability.

125 MOA Adjustment Range:

The scope offers an impressive 125 MOA adjustment range, providing ample room for precise adjustments and compensations.

Modern Technologies and Optics:

Compact and tactical, the Leupold VX-3HD 3.5-10x40 scope measures 322mm in length and weighs 411g. Its aluminum (6061-T6) tube with a 30mm diameter allows for superior aiming reticle adjustment compared to the inch version, offering 55 MOA/16 MRAD both vertically and horizontally. Nitrogen gas fills the tube, negating thermal shock effects, reducing gas diffusion, and eliminating internal lens evaporation.

The scope's image quality and brightness are top-notch, thanks to the use of high-resolution calcium fluoride lenses. These lenses ensure exceptional image clarity and sharpness at all magnification levels. A durable coating on the outer surfaces protects against scratches and reduces water, dirt, and fingerprint accumulation.

Clear Sighting Reticle:

Featuring the Twilight Hunter sighting reticle with an illuminated aiming point, the scope allows for precision and rapid shooting in diverse lighting conditions. The Twilight Hunter crosshair consists of 4 arms with a thickness of 3.4 MOA, transitioning into 0.4 MOA hairline beams from the midpoint. The illuminated red dot enhances target acquisition, making it quick and instinctive. Illumination adjustments (7 levels) are conveniently made using the side Push Button, catering to different lighting conditions and times of day.

Innovative CDS System:

The scope incorporates an innovative Custom Dial System (CDS) that allows shooters to adjust the elevation barrel parameters to match specific ammunition distance and ballistics. The low-profile CDS-ZL2 adjustment turret prevents accidental changes in settings, while the Zero Lock locking system facilitates easy one-button reset of settings. This CDS system enables accurate and reproducible long-distance shooting without requiring an elevation table or changing the aiming point.

Motion Sensor MST:

The Motion Sensor Technology (MST) automatically puts the backlight to sleep after 5 minutes of inactivity, conserving battery life. Reactivating the dot illumination is as simple as moving the rifle, offering an impressive battery life of up to 1,600 hours in low brightness mode. Moreover, the backlight control circuit warns of low battery status through sight flickering, indicating the need for a battery replacement.
