Expert Review Exactly what to expect in a quality leupold scope - Leupold VX-3i 4.5-14x50mm 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 4.5-14x50mm we mounted to a Ruger Precision in 6.5mm Creedmoor. We sighted it in at 100 yards. Once zeroed, we shot the box, and had no issues with the turret adjustments. After shooting dead center for around 50 rounds, we moved out to the gong at 150 yards, and I’m pretty sure we left a dent in it right in the middle! It was virtually impossible to miss with the Duplex crosshair, which draws your eye right to the center of the reticle. This scope is surprisingly bright, though the 50mm objective likely helps out a bit. The turrets are crisp to the touch, and the magnification ring is silky smooth. Get the CDS version if you want a customized elevation turret for your rifle. It’s worth the extra money!
