Clear Glass by Scott, Verified Owner, March 10, 2024
Clear class from edge to edge. Looks as if you’re using your bare eye with a reticle in front of it. Parallax dial hones in at the proper distance for a crisp image. Power variable ring is easy to adjust. Best feature is how well it works in low ligh...

If you are looking for the good/great/best long range scopes, these two would be the glass I would pick from. The price difference between these two is about $1500.00 (MSRP). The AMG Vortex ($3,700 MRSP) is better glass. Period. The custom dial ...

Leupold VX-6HD by Todd, December 7, 2018
Another fantastic riflescope from Leupold. The field of view is generous, and the eye relief is very good. The thing I like best about the scope is the clarity, It is truly an amazing scope. The only negative I have is the price, but I believe you...

Leupold Gold Ring Guarantee logoimage

You need a versatile scope if you're looking to take down big game in the field. The Leupold VX-6HD 3-18x50mm CDS-ZL2 Rifle Scope has a 3x magnification which is perfect for scouring the landscape for possible targets, but when you crank up the magnificaton to 18x, you can reveal all the fine details of your prey and line up a precise shot. Equipped with a Twilight Max Light Management system, these Rifle Scopes by Leupold bring you the brightest, clearest images possible by maximizing light transmission while controlling the amount of glare from sunlight. Whether you're right or left-handed, the ambidextrous reversible throw lever provides leverage for quick magnification changes which can make all the difference on a hunt when time is not on your side. This Leupold 3-18x50mm Waterproof Rifle Scope is built using a twin bias spring erector system that prevents accidental adjustments and promises a precise return to zero every time. Take this Leupold VX-6HD Hunting Rifle Scope next time you hit the back country and see the difference high quality glass makes.

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-6HD 3-18x50mm Rifle Scope, 30mm Tube, Second Focal Plane:

  • Features proprietary 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.
  • Crafted from 6061-T6 aircraft quality aluminum.
  • Powerful 6:1 zoom ratio delivers crystal clear images from edge-to-edge throughout the entire magnification range, and the Twin Bias Spring Erector System features berylium/copper alloy leaf springs and 30% more holding force to withstand the most intense recoil and abuse.
  • The CDS-ZL2 elevation adjustment dials easily for quick sight-in and to set for target ranges. Press the ZeroLock button to release and dial as much as 38MOA elevation. Dial back to zero and the lock snaps back into place automatically, ensuring correct re-zero and that the dial cannot accidentally move.
  • 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.
  • Guard-Ion rain shedding coating is extremely durable, scratch resistant, and sheds water, dirt, and fingerprints.
  • Proprietary MST (Motion Sensor Technology) automatically deactivates illumination after 5 minutes of inactivity, yet reactivates instantly as soon as any movement is detected.
  • One button brightness control with a high/low indicator keeps it simple.
  • Reversible throw lever clamps onto VX-6HD power selector to provide leverage for fast magnification changes, left or right handed.
  • 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 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.
  • Zero Lock Windage Adjustment prevents unintended adjustments and ensures an accurate return to zero. Fast and easy to use.
