The Leupold VX-3HD 3.5-10x40mm riflescope with the illuminated FireDot Twilight Hunter reticle (part no. 180627) gives low-light hunters a bright, illuminated aiming point without giving up a proven Duplex-style crosshair at daylight settings. Leupold pairs the reticle with a CDS ZeroLock dial and locking turrets, and the 30mm tube adds elevation travel over standard 1-inch VX-3HD models. At 15.8 ounces the scope stays light on a hunting rifle, and full fog-, shock-, and waterproof construction holds up to field conditions. Among illuminated gun scopes for close-to-mid-range hunting, this VX-3HD configuration extends legal shooting light.
