Reviews & Ratings for Leupold VX-3i 2.5-8x36mm Riflescope — 14 reviews — Page 1

Clarity is awesome, especially early morning and dusk. For the price this unit is very competitive with much higher priced scopes. Point of impact is spot on at all power settings. Will take a few seasons to see how it holds up in the field. Leupold quality has never disappointed me.

This is my first Leupold scope. The optics are as great as everyone says in the reviews on the internet. Plenty of eye relief to prevent getting a black eye when using with larger caliber rifles. It is a great scope in every way except one - it does not include an indicator ring on the elevation/windage turrets to show if you have adjusted beyond a full turn. Leupold doesn't mention this anywhere that I could find in their literature. If you don't intend to shoot out beyond 60 clicks on your turrets, I guess it is not a problem. With this being an 8X max scope, I probably won't be attempting anything out beyond a full rev on the elevation turret anyway, so should work fine for me. (I got this scope on sale for a really good price; however, if I had paid full price, I would have considered returning it since this aspect was not clearly defined in their literature. Again, for an 8X scope, it may not be a big deal unless you plan to push it out beyond 400 yards - depending on the ballistics involved.)

Have several. Best all around scope for under 400 yards. Works on everything , levers , single shots, pumps , shotguns. Never felt underscored and it’s smaller and light. Great product. Clarity is superb along with the resolution. Can also get with the BC reticle. Leupold delivers promises.

I bought an earlier version of this scope about 40 years ago. I have always really liked the optics, especially field of view and non-critical eye relief. Unfortunately I dropped my rifle and scope and broke the scope. I finally bought this one to replace it on a different rifle. I have yet to sight it in, but again optical clarity and non-criticality of eye relief are outstanding

I have been buying Leupold Scopes for 30 years, this could be my favorite. Very high quality, fantastic adjustment, it was easy to site in and you can tell the quality of the mechanisms by how the turrets felt when adjusting. I can' imagine it could be better.

I purchased this scope to put on a Ruger #1 for the long eye relief. The eye relief is especially important on these rifles because of the ring placement on the one quarter rib on these rifles. Even with off set rings a scope with longer eye relief is needed. I would buy another for another #1 I own but this scope is no longer made. I think that will prove to be a mistake.

Leupold vx3i is an excellent optics for the money the ice cream is the lifetime warranty that many others are doing now. That tells me that they are following the best . I own 9 leupold and 1 fell out of a scabbard one year and landed hard was still ready to go.

I bought this for my uncle because he was wanting something that was better then he was. This sure out did his expectations. This thing is clear as a crystal and the perfect scope for someone/something that you are wanting to shoot midrange. I love the VX-3's, they are excellent quality and I wouldn't own anything different.

Very rugged, mounted on a 45 70 and handles the recoil with no issues. glass is very clear even in low light. Good eye relief, have used for both deer and Hog hunting in low light. I now have two of these scopes mounted on 45-70 rifles.

For the money you can't beat this scope!! Glass is clear and has good visibility at twilight. Plenty of eye relief for just about any mounting position that the scope is designed for. I have tried several different scope makers but always come back to Leupold.
