Leupold VX-4HD 4-16×50 30mm CDS-ZL2 Rifle Scope

The Leupold VX-4HD 4-16×50 30mm CDS-ZL2 Side Focus rifle scope (part no. 185456) pairs a true 4:1 zoom with a 50mm objective to hold image clarity in the low light of dawn and dusk. Leupold builds the VX-4HD around its Elite Optical System, then adds the CDS-ZL2 elevation dial with ZeroLock so hunters can dial a correction and return to zero without second-guessing. The second focal plane Duplex reticle keeps the sight picture clean, while precision side focus manages parallax across varied distances. For hunters and precision field shooters comparing modern gun scopes, this configuration is built to earn a permanent place on a working rifle.
