The VX-III literally redefined high performance when it first came on the scene. We pushed the envelope with every aspect of its design and construction inside and out from the Index Matched Lens System for unparalleled brightness clarity and contrast to the Ballistics Aiming System for greater long-range accuracy. Was all this innovation and hard work worth the effort? Just ask the hunters and shooters who have proven the worth of the VX-III in hunts and competitions all around the globe.
he Varmint Hunter's reticle will help you hit small targets at longer ranges than ever, by helping you determine the range to the target, then providing precise aiming points for easy-to-remember range increments, as well as wind deflection. Aiming points are fine lines, which won't obscure small targets at long range.
The Varmint Hunter's reticle offers:
A fine lined German #4-style central aiming point (sighted-in at 200 yards in most cases) as well as cross-wire hold points calibrated to 300, 400, and500 yards for most cartridges.
10 and 20 mph windage hold points at both the left and right ends of the 300, 400, and 500 yard cross-wire hold points.
10, 20, and 30 mph windage hold points along the German #4-style central aiming point line.
A prairie dog range estimator between the 500 yard and bottom vertical heavy post.
Other features for the VX-3 Riflescope include cryogenically treated, Titanium-Nitride coated, high-strength aluminum adjustment dials and Leupold's most durable dual spring erector system. This combination of features makes this model scope more rugged than ever before. As a final touch to the VX-3, Leupold mounts a 24k gold-plated ring and medallion to each scope.
The Xtended Twilight Lens System™ optimizes the transmission of low-light wavelengths, so you see the details of low-light scenes in greater, brighter detail than with any other riflescope available.
DiamondCoat 2™ lens coatings on exterior lens surfaces provide the highest level of scratch resistance Leupold has ever offered.
The twin bias spring exerts up to 30 percent more holding force on the erector, virtually eliminating erector system backlash and stress on the vital internal workings of the scope, for longer life.
Blackened lens edges reduce light diffusion, so more usable light reaches the shooter’s eye, for a brighter image with increased contrast.
Most VX-3 models available with the Leupold® Ballistics Aiming System™ for more accurate long-range shooting.
Leupold offers the widest variety of factory standard reticles available, see specifications for model specific options. Even more reticle options available through the Leupold Custom Shop.
Finger-adjustable, cryogenically treated, ¼-MOA click windage and elevation adjustments with resettable pointer dials marking the zero point.
Tactile power indicator also features built-in range estimation functions and graphite O-rings for easy operation.
