Leupold VX-3HD 4.5-14x40mm Riflescope, 1-Inch Tube, Duplex

The Leupold VX-3HD 4.5-14x40mm riflescope with a 1-inch tube (part no. 180619) extends reach beyond the standard VX-3HD range while keeping the familiar Duplex reticle and CDS ZeroLock elevation system. Leupold builds the controls to work with gloves, and the second-focal-plane Duplex keeps aiming simple across the full zoom range. At 13.4 ounces the scope stays field-carryable, and full waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof construction handles rough conditions. Among mid-to-long-range gun scopes in the VX-3HD line, this 4.5-14x configuration bridges timber and open-country hunting.
