Lightweight, incredibly versatile, and built to outperform its class, the newly released Leupold VX-4HD 3-12x40mm is the definitive optic for hunters who demand total confidence in any environment. Whether you are navigating dense New Zealand timber or taking an extended shot across a wide alpine clearing, the versatile 4:1 zoom ratio (3-12x) allows you to perfectly balance field of view and magnification. Built around a robust 30mm maintube, this scope provides increased adjustment travel while keeping the overall weight to a bare minimum, ensuring your rifle remains perfectly balanced for the long stalk.

At the core of the VX-4HD is Leupold’s Elite Optical System. This advanced glass and coating technology delivers elite-level glare reduction in harsh, direct sunlight and phenomenal dawn-to-dusk light transmission. When combined with the high-definition lenses, it provides unparalleled clarity, color fidelity, and edge-to-edge resolution. This specific model features the incredibly popular FireDot Twilight Hunter illuminated reticle (in the second focal plane). Designed specifically for low-light situations, the brilliant red center dot draws your eye instantly to the target without the distraction of overly complex stadia lines. It also features Motion Sensor Technology (MST™), which automatically deactivates the illumination after 5 minutes of inactivity to save battery life, and instantly reactivates the moment the rifle is moved.

To ensure your shots connect when the distance stretches out, the VX-4HD is equipped with the CDS-ZL2 (Custom Dial System - ZeroLock 2) elevation dial. This allows for two full revolutions of elevation adjustment while the push-button ZeroLock prevents any accidental dial movement in the field. As a CDS-compatible scope, it is eligible for a free custom laser-marked dial from Leupold, specifically matched to your exact cartridge and environmental ballistics. Simply range the target, turn the dial to the corresponding yardage number, and aim dead-on. Backed by Leupold’s legendary Lifetime Guarantee, this optic is 100% waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof.

• Custom Dial System (CDS) Eligible: Includes one free custom ballistic dial from Leupold, laser-marked to match your specific rifle load and environmental conditions for dead-on holdovers.
