Leupold VX-3HD 4.5-14x40mm Riflescope 30mm Tube Diamond Reticle

The Leupold VX-3HD 4.5-14x40mm delivers precision optics engineered for hunters and competitive shooters who demand clarity across extended magnification ranges. This riflescope combines Leupold's proven Twilight Max HD Light Management System with a robust 30mm main tube for superior light transmission and tracking reliability. Built to withstand extreme field conditions while maintaining consistent zero retention.

What Makes This Different

The VX-3HD features Leupold's proprietary Twilight Max HD coating system, which increases light transmission by up to 92% compared to standard multi-coated optics. The 30mm main tube provides 25% more internal adjustment range than traditional 1-inch tubes, allowing for precise tracking across the entire 4.5-14x magnification spectrum. Advanced Guard-Ion hydrophobic lens coating repels moisture and debris more effectively than conventional treatments.

Key Features

• 4.5-14x variable magnification with 40mm objective lens for versatile ranging capability
• 30mm aircraft-grade aluminum main tube with matte black finish resists corrosion
• Diamond reticle in second focal plane maintains consistent subtension across magnification range
• Twilight Max HD coating system maximizes light transmission in low-light conditions
• CDS-ZL2 Custom Dial System compatibility for precise long-range adjustments
• Guard-Ion lens coating provides superior water and debris resistance
• Finger-adjustable click windage and elevation turrets with 1/4 MOA increments

Field testing demonstrates consistent tracking performance across temperature ranges from -40°F to 140°F. The scope maintains zero retention through 5,000+ rounds of magnum cartridge recoil simulation. Eye relief measures 3.6-4.2 inches across the magnification range, accommodating various shooting positions and stock configurations. The fast-focus eyepiece allows rapid diopter adjustment for shooters wearing corrective lenses.
