Q
DuckMan, guest, from MO, United States, asked on November 16, 2019

Are these models 100% US made, or imported?

A
Answered by KonaGolden, member, from CA, United States, on November 22, 2019

Designed, machined & assembled in the USA. Many scopes come from Philippines; Vortex, Nikon and others, for example. Leupold doesn't specify where some of the parts come from, but I would suspect it's there.

Q
Buddy, guest, from GA, United States, asked on February 19, 2020

What does CDS refer to?

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Armando R., Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on March 12, 2020

CDS refers to Leupolds "Custom Dial System". This system allows the user to swap out the elevation turret on their scope to a turret that has been made by Leupold specifically for their rifle set up and load information. Some Leupold scopes come with a voucher in the box that counts towards 1 CDS dial from Leupold while others do not have this voucher. But even for the models that do not come with a voucher in the box, the end user can contact Leupold and make sure that their scope can accept a CDS turret and then request one from them at an additional charge.

Nick9, guest, from OH, United States, asked on January 01, 2020

Would this work good for my AR15 and do I also need to get a separate mount or does one come with it?

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Armando R., Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on January 07, 2020

It would work great on an AR and it does not come with a mount, but there are hundreds of options including many from Leupold like the following:

Michael, guest, from MO, United States, asked on December 28, 2019

Can you get this scope in silver?

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Armando R., Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on January 07, 2020

Leupold does not really offer silver scopes anymore. You can still definitely buy a black model and then have it sent to Leupold and they will customize and change the color for you, but it is an additional custom service and fee.

Q
GARY, guest, from MI, United States, asked on October 02, 2019

what is a second focal plane

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Armando R., Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on October 10, 2019

First and second focal plane refers to the position of the reticle inside the scope. A second focal plane scope has the reticle position inside the scope that the when the magnification is changed the reticle stays exactly the same. This changes the subtensions of the reticle and means it is only accurate at one magnification setting (usually max). First focal plane means the reticle is positioned so that when the magnification changes the reticle changes with it making the reticle subtensions accurate at all magnification settings.

tommy, member, from MD, United States, asked on September 03, 2019

why do the 40mm sun shades for all my other Leopold scopes do not fit the vx 3.5-10x40?

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Jonathan D., Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on September 10, 2019

Not all Leupold models use the same accessory threads, older models specifically tend to have a different thread pitch than current production models. Here is a link to the 2 different length sunshades that are compatible with this scope:
