The Leupold VX-3HD 4.5-14x40mm Rifle Scope uses the Leupold Wind-Plex reticle, which is multi-cal compatible, aids in compensating for crosswinds, features 1 MOA hash marks, and extends 10 MOA on each side.
Leupold took what was a great scope and made it even better. The CDS takes math out of the equation and puts you spot onto the game much quicker. Whether a first timer or a long time hunter I highly recommend the new Leupold scopes.
Just purchased this for my new .17 Ruger precision. Great reticle! I really like the thin cross hairs as it doesn’t block your view of the target, which is ground squirrels for my application. The .17 gets pushed around in the wind a bit, so the ha...

Long time fan of Leupold scopes. But this item is overpriced for what you get. No better than the prior version of this scope.The Vx3i was just as good for a lot less. Adding HD to the name does not improve this scope enough to warrant its price.
The Leupold VX-3HD rifle scope fully lives up to the highest standards of quality, clarity and robust performance hunters expect of Leupold products. This scope went on a Ruger No 1 in 220 Swift which is capable of shooting as straight and fast as th...

I have using Leupold scopes since the 1980's. I have the Vari-X II and the Vari-X III scopes on several rifles and I haven't seen the need to replace them with newer scopes. Leupold definitely stands by their lifetime warranty. I have a scope to L...

Clear glass easy to sight in the scope. Love the side focus. I haven’t sent off for the cds turret yet but I’m sure it will be worth it. I’m a huge fan
Product Info for Leupold VX-3HD Side Focus CDS-ZL Wind-Plex 4.5-14x40mm Rifle Scope, 30mm Tube, Second Focal Plane (SFP)
The VX-3HD 4.5-14x40mm delivers legendary performance and elite optical clarity in an incredibly tough, lightweight package. Its extremely popular magnification range is perfect for timber and western mountain hunting.
The VX-3HD delivers outstanding performance in low light. 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 and shooters demand. We also gave it match-grade repeatability and ergonomic controls that are easy to read and use, even with gloves. The VX-3HD is 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.
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 Side Focus CDS-ZL Wind-Plex 4.5-14x40mm Rifle Scope, 30mm Tube, Second Focal Plane (SFP):
3:1 Zoom Ratio - A 3:1 zoom ratio is very common in many scope models. It gives you 3 times more magnification at high power than at low power (model magnification ranges are available in powers of 3x: 1.5-5, 2.5-8, 3-9, 3.5-10, etc.), so you can dial your power down for close encounters or all of the way up for long-range shots.
Custom Dial System - Leupold's Custom Dial System® (CDS®) gives you the ability to customize your turret (adjustment dial) to your exact ballistics and environmental conditions. Once your new custom dial is installed, simply range the target, turn the dial to that number, and aim dead on.
Zero Lock Dial - The ZeroLock system eliminates accidental dial movement by locking it in place.
Lockable Eyepiece - A traditional eyepiece lock ring allows you to lock in a focus setting that is best for your eye.
Scratch Resistant Lenses - Hardened surface coatings are added to meet extreme military standards in scratch resistance and added lens protection.
Waterproof, Fogproof, & Shockproof - Leupold pioneered modern waterproof and fogproof technology using advanced internal gasses and sealing methods that withstand extreme temperatures, elevation changes, and shocks, so the internals of the optics stay moisture free and crystal clear for life.
