Expert Review Amazing clarity and accuracy - Leupold VX-3i 4.5-14x40mm Rifle Scope

I had the pleasure of using three different models of the VX-3i, and was impressed with the performance of all three. The 4.5-14x40 we mounted on a standard flat-top AR platform with the Leupold Mark 2 mount. We were able to sight this in with only a few shots since the adjustment turrets on these scopes are very accurate. The sight picture is very clear, and the Duplex reticle works great by keeping the users focus towards the center of the crosshair. We started at 100 yards shooting paper targets, since we had already set up to sight in the scope. We had no problems shooting the box with a simple bag set up for support, and after we zeroed the scope, we were able to hit a steel gong dead center at 200 yards, even set at the lowest magnification! These scopes are extremely accurate for the price, and the clarity is unmatched. The turret adjustment knobs are silky smooth, as is the magnification ring. The CDS option is well worth the money if you are looking to permanently attach this scope to one specific rifle. Leupold will send back a custom elevation turret designed specifically for your caliber!
