Leupold VX-3HD 6.5-20x40mm Riflescope Fine Duplex AO Reticle

The Leupold VX-3HD 6.5-20x40mm delivers precision optics with variable magnification for long-range shooting applications. This riflescope combines Leupold's HD lens system with adjustable objective focusing to provide clear target acquisition from 100 to 1000+ yards.

What Makes This Different

The VX-3HD series features Leupold's Twilight Max HD Light Management System, transmitting 92% of available light compared to standard coatings that typically manage 85-88%. The adjustable objective eliminates parallax error at distances beyond 50 yards, while the 6.5-20x magnification range handles both mid-range precision and extreme long-range applications. Built on Leupold's proven 1-inch tube design, this scope maintains zero under recoil forces up to .375 H&H Magnum.

Key Features

• 6.5-20x variable magnification with side focus parallax adjustment from 50 yards to infinity
• 40mm objective lens with fully multi-coated HD glass for maximum light transmission
• Fine Duplex reticle provides clean aiming point without cluttering the field of view
• 1-inch aluminum tube construction with matte black anodized finish
• 1/4 MOA click adjustments with tactile and audible feedback
• Fast-focus eyepiece accommodates shooter prescription without additional adjustment
• Waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof construction rated to military standards

Field testing demonstrates consistent tracking across the full elevation and windage range, maintaining point of impact through temperature variations from -20°F to 120°F. The scope performs reliably in competitive precision rifle matches, hunting applications requiring long-range accuracy, and tactical scenarios demanding repeatable adjustments. Nitrogen purging prevents internal fogging during rapid temperature changes or high humidity conditions.
