Questions & Answers
What height scope rings should I get? I want it mounted as low as possible. Expert Answer

Your scope ring height typically depends on the rifle it is being mounted to and the barrel profile. Since this an LPVO however, low height rings should work when mounted to most bolt guns.

What is sfp. And how does it work? Expert Answer

There are two types of focal plane scopes. There is first focal plane (FFP) and second focal plane (SFP). In a FFP scope the reticle is mounted in the scope past the magnification lens. In a FFP scope the reticle will increase in size as the magnification increases and then shrink in size as magnification decreases. In a SFP scope the reticle is mounted before the magnification lens so the the reticle will stay the same size no matter what magnification you are using. In an FFP scope the reticle holdover marks are accurate at all magnification levels. In an SFP scope the reticle holdover marks are only accurate at the highest magnification level.

Product Info for Leupold VX-3HD 1.5-5x20mm Rifle Scope, 30 mm Tube, Second Focal Plane (SFP)

This 1.5-5x20 hunting Rifle Scope is designed to improve your accuracy on the hunting grounds in close to mid-range engagements. Leupold built these Rifle Scopes to excel in low-light environments. The VX-3 HD 1.5-5x20 Rifle Scope features DiamondCoat 2 lens coatings, blackened lens edges, and the Xtended Twilight lens system that collaboratively amplify light transmission and create the brightest, most vivid sight pictures for your outdoor adventures. Plus, a non-reflective matte finish helps you stay concealed in the brush until you're ready to pull the trigger.image

These scopes are available with a variety of different CDS (Custom Dial System) reticles that account for elevation and your specific ballistic information to provide the most precise aiming point possible. Each optic includes lens covers so that you can protect your glass until you're ready to take aim. Pick up this 1.5-5x waterproof Rifle Scope.

Every CDS model scope comes with a standard MOA or MIL dial right out of the box, so it's not a custom dial yet. To get yours, enter your ballistic information that can usually be found on your ammo box or the manufacturer's website and some of the environmental conditions where you'll be shooting the most, and we will laser-etch a new elevation dial to match. Once you receive the new dial in the mail, swap out the standard MOA or MIL dial, and you're good to go. The Custom Dial System® (CDS) ensures your scope is now perfectly tuned to the ballistics of your rifle.

Fully understanding your ballistics can be intimidating. That's why the Leupold Custom Dial System® (CDS) laser-etches your scope's elevation dial to match your load, velocity, and conditions. All you do is range your target, turn the dial to that number, and aim dead on. No more holdovers, bullet drop reticles, or ballistic calculators. Just quick, accurate shots every time.

Features of Leupold VX-3HD 1.5-5x20mm Rifle Scope, 30 mm Tube, Second Focal Plane - SFP:

  • DiamondCoat 2: 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.
  • Blackened Lens Edges: Blackened lens edges reduce light diffusion, so more usable light reaches the shooter's eye. This results in a brighter image with increased contrast.
  • 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.
  • BAS (Ballistic Aiming System): Select models are available with the Leupold Ballistics Aiming Systemâ„¢. With multiple aiming points for longer ranges and varying wind speeds, and infinite power selector settings to match your rifle's ballistics, the Ballistics Aiming System can help you master the art of accurate, long-range shooting.
  • Xtended Twilight Lens System: The Xtended Twilight Lens System optimizes the transmission of low-light wavelengths, so you see the details of low-light scenes in greater, brighter detail than with any other scope available.
