Best scope by Jimmyjames, Verified Owner, August 14, 2018
This optic has to be the best optic I’ve ever seen. Perfect for long range. Put on top of a 6.5 creedmore you’d be the envy of everyone at the range. It also has that gold ring saying you mean business. Very bright at all times of day.

Lightweight and powerful the Leupold Illuminated Rifle Scope will help you reach your target and goals. These Rifle Scopes from the trailblazers at Leupold feature Motion Sensor Technology that shuts off when not in use to save battery, but turns on when activity is detected.

Hunting has never been easier than with a Leupold VX-3i 4.5-14x56mm Rifle Scope mounted to your firearm.image

Leupold Illuminated Rifle Scope, LU-RS-VX3I-451456

  • 1/4 MOA precision finger click adjustments for windage and elevation offer absolute repeatability and dependability over a lifetime of extreme use.
  • Features our exclusive, proprietary 2nd generation Argon/Krypton gas blend, which nearly eliminates the effects of thermal shock, and reduces the diffusion of gases sealed inside your scope even more than our proven nitrogen technology already does.
  • 30mm maintube offers incredible strength and allows for the greater range of windage and elevation adjustment.
  • A versatile 3:1 zoom ratio erector system that is ideal for virtually any situation.
  • Crafted from 6061-T6 aircraft quality aluminum.
  • Exterior lens surfaces are treated with DiamondCoat 2, an ion-assist lens coating, for higher light transmission and the greatest level of abrasion resistance we've ever offered. DiamondCoat 2 has the additional advantage of assisting in light transmission, for greater brightness, clarity and contrast, and will prove its worth in the wildest places on earth.
  • Generous Eyebox. Get on target faster so you can take the shot of a lifetime. Even at higher powers, the longer eye relief and generous eyebox provides incredible head position latitude, edge-to-edge brightness, and a full clear sight picture that fills the eyepiece completely.
  • A durable Leupold Scope Cover is included to protect your valuable Rifle Scope during transport or when not in use. Made of water-resistant, nylon-laminated neoprene.
  • Proprietary MST (Motion Sensor Technology) automatically deactivates illumination after 5 minutes of inactivity, yet reactivates instantly as soon as any movement is detected.
  • Side focus parallax adjustment for fast, easy parallax focusing from any shooting position.
  • Twilight Max Light Management System. Light management means delivering usable light to your eye and forming a crisp, high contrasting image. Lens coatings are applied that maximize light transmission in blue and red, and balancing colors to develop the highest possible contrast. Glare is controlled with special mechanical structures. This means you can see antler tines in dark shadows long after the competition has gone home.
  • Twin Bias Spring Erector System. The twin bias spring exerts up to 30 percent more holding force on the erector, virtually eliminating erector system backlash and stress on the vital internal workings of the scope, for longer life.
