Leupold VX-6HD Gen 2 3-18x44mm CDS-SZL2 Illuminated Scope

The Leupold VX-6HD Gen 2 3-18x44mm delivers precision long-range performance with advanced illuminated reticle technology. This premium riflescope combines Leupold's proven optical engineering with modern ballistic compensation features for serious hunters and precision shooters.

What Makes This Different

The VX-6HD Gen 2 features Leupold's proprietary HD lens system that transmits 92% of available light, providing exceptional clarity in low-light conditions. The CDS-SZL2 (Custom Dial System Second Zero Lock) allows shooters to dial precise holdovers for extended range while maintaining a reliable return-to-zero function. Unlike standard variable scopes, this model incorporates Leupold's FireDot illumination system with 11 intensity settings for rapid target acquisition across varying light conditions.
