The Leupold VX-3HD 3.5-10x50mm riflescope (part no. 180618) puts a big 50mm objective on a lightweight, 1-inch-tube optic built for hunters who value simple, dependable glass. Leupold keeps the classic Duplex reticle on the second focal plane, giving consistent aiming references without a cluttered sight picture, and locking turrets hold zero through recoil and rough handling. At 15.1 ounces the scope stays balanced on a hunting rifle. Among 1-inch gun scopes for dawn-to-dusk hunting, the VX-3HD 3.5-10×50 is the no-nonsense standard.
