TheLeupold VX-3HD 2.5-8x36 1" CDS-ZL Duplex is a versatile sight for hunters and sport shooters, featuring the Elite Optical System light management system, the popular Duplex sight reticle, and the ZeroStop system to protect against accidental zero changes. An excellent choice for dynamic shooting at both short and medium ranges.
Highlights of the Mark VX-3HD series:
Elite Optical System:
- Unrivaled brightness even in the most difficult conditions,
- Enhanced Twilight Efficiency,
- Enhances image brightness in low-light environments (approximately 30 minutes),
- Eliminates image blur and stray light reflections,
- Premium lenses provide edge-to-edge sharpness,
- enhances image depth and contrast.
Optional Custom Dial drum system - when shooting at long range, eliminates the need to apply aiming point corrections (aiming over the target) due to distance, gravity and wind effects.
Lightweight and durable construction - disperses recoil energy evenly
Leupold Punisher durability tests - the scopes undergo rigorous testing on the Punisher simulation machine, during which they are subjected to 5,000 recoil tests. The machine generates shocks with an energy 3× greater than the recoil of a .308 rifle
30mm tube - provides a greater range of aiming reticle adjustment
Fast Focus - unscrewable lever for changing magnification
Robust construction - tube resistant to moisture, dew, extreme temperatures, elevation changes
Secondary sight ing reticle - provides universal use
125 MOA adjustment range - increased adjustment range
Modern technologies
The Leupold VX-3HD 2.5-8x36 is a compact tactical-fighter scope with a length of 290 mm and a weight of just 337 g. The scope can be used on both hunting rifles and semi-automatic rifles.
The scope has a 25.4 mm (1-inch) aluminum (6061-T6 ) barrel, which provides a large adjustment range of 70 MOA/ 20.4 MRAD vertical and horizontal reticle settings. On the eyepiece there is a moled ring with a twist-off pin used for quick and convenient magnification changes. The scope's tube is filled with dry nitrogen gas, which eliminates the effects of thermal shock, reduces gas diffusion inside the scope and eliminates the problem of internal lens evaporation.
The scope underwent rigorous testing on the Punisher simulation machine, during which the scopes were subjected to 5,000 recoil endurance tests. The machine generates shocks with an energy of 3× the recoil of a .308 rifle.
Dimensions
Bright and clear image
The American manufacturer Leupold places special emphasis on image quality and brightness. The optics use high-resolution calcium fluoride lenses, which ensures incredible image clarity and sharpness at all magnification levels. The outer surfaces of the lenses are covered with a durable coating, which effectively protects the optics from scratches, reduces the settlement of water, dirt and fingerprints.
Thescope's high brightness, 3× magnification and field of view (from 12.5 to 4.6 m / 100 m) allow comfortable observation and fast shooting at various distances also in difficult lighting conditions.
Clear sighting reticle
The scope uses the popular Duplex sighting reticle in the background, designed by the Leupold company in 1962. The crosshair consists of 4 arms that transition into a "thin hair" in the central part. The readable, high-contrast reticle allows for both accurate and rapid shooting in a variety of lighting conditions.
CDS system
The scope uses an innovative CDS (Custom Dial System) that allows the shooter to adjust the parameters of the elevation barrel to match the distance and ballistics of specific ammunition. CDS-ZL2 is a low-profile adjustment turret that prevents accidental changes in settings. The Zero Lock locking system provides easy one-button reset of settings. Once the CDS is properly configured, after just a short training session, we can shoot accurately and reproducibly at long distances without the need to use an elevation table (changing the aiming point).
