Leupold VX-3HD 6.5-20x50mm Side Focus CDS-T Diamond Reticle Scope

The Leupold VX-3HD 6.5-20x50mm delivers precision long-range performance with advanced optical clarity and versatile magnification range. This riflescope combines Leupold's proven HD lens system with side focus parallax adjustment and the Custom Dial System for extended shooting applications. Built on a robust 30mm main tube, it handles demanding field conditions while maintaining consistent zero retention.

What Makes This Different

The VX-3HD series incorporates Leupold's Twilight Max HD Light Management System, transmitting up to 92% of available light for superior low-light performance. The CDS-T turret system allows custom elevation dials calibrated to specific loads and environmental conditions. Side focus parallax adjustment ranges from 75 yards to infinity, eliminating parallax error at extended distances where standard scopes fail.

Key Features

• 6.5-20x variable magnification with 50mm objective lens for extended range shooting
• Diamond reticle in second focal plane provides precise aiming points without complexity
• CDS-T Custom Dial System with removable turret cap for ballistic compensation
• Side focus parallax adjustment from 75 yards to infinity
• 30mm main tube construction increases internal adjustment range
• Twilight Max HD coating system maximizes light transmission
• Matte black finish reduces glare and provides tactical appearance

Field testing demonstrates consistent tracking through the full elevation and windage adjustment range. The scope maintains zero retention under recoil from magnum cartridges and temperature variations. Competition shooters benefit from the precise click adjustments and repeatable return to zero. The magnification range suits both mid-range precision work and long-distance target engagement.
