Leupold VX-6HD Gen 2 3-18x56mm CDS-SZL2 Illuminated Rifle Scope

The Leupold VX-6HD Gen 2 3-18x56mm delivers exceptional low-light performance with its 56mm objective lens and illuminated FireDot Twilight Hunter reticle. This premium riflescope combines Leupold's advanced optical engineering with practical hunting features for extended shooting sessions in challenging conditions.

What Makes This Different

The VX-6HD Gen 2 features Leupold's proprietary Twilight Max HD Light Management System, transmitting 92% of available light through the optical system. The 56mm objective lens gathers significantly more light than standard 44mm scopes, extending effective shooting time by up to 30 minutes in dawn and dusk conditions. Custom Dial System (CDS-SZL2) technology provides precise elevation adjustments matched to specific ammunition ballistics.

Key Features

• 3-18x magnification range with 56mm objective lens for maximum light transmission
• Illuminated FireDot Twilight Hunter reticle with 11 brightness settings
• CDS-SZL2 custom turret system for precise long-range adjustments
• 30mm maintube construction for enhanced durability and tracking precision
• Side Focus parallax adjustment from 50 yards to infinity

• Waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof construction rated to withstand .375 H&H recoil

Field testing demonstrates consistent 1/4 MOA click adjustments with reliable return-to-zero performance across temperature extremes from -25°F to 140°F. The scope maintains zero through 5,000+ rounds of magnum cartridge testing. Low-profile turrets resist accidental adjustment during transport while remaining accessible for field corrections. The illuminated reticle automatically shuts off after 5 minutes to preserve battery life during extended hunts.
