Purchased this scope to replace an existing 3x9 scope on a Ruger 10/22 for use in target shooting. Incredibly clear and was easy to adjust after having been bore scoped. I have other Leupold scopes and highly recommend them.

Bought for my 30-30 to hunt with love the eye relief hard to beat Leupold quality and glass!
The Leupold VX3HD 2.5-8X36 is the perfect scope for me. The reticle adjustments are positive and they work just like they should. The scope is light and this is a positive when you are in your seventies. Being made in the U.S.A. is a mandatory iss...

Put this scope on a new 17 HMR and I think it is perfect for the rifle. It has the correct dimensions, and is light enough that the combination is easy to carry. The 2.5x8 variable power is plenty for shots out to 200 yards. As with all Leupold scope...

Product Info for Leupold VX-3HD 2.5-8x36mm Rifle Scope, 1" Tube, Second Focal Plane (SFP)
This lightweight hunting scope is an incredible optic for extended hunting sessions, gathering enough light to allow you to stay out from dawn to dusk. These Rifle Scopes feature the Leupold Elite Optical System that delivers superior light transmission for bright, clear views in any environment. With scratch-resistant lenses and waterproof and fogproof performance, the VX-3 2.5-8x36 Rifle Scope can handle the most demanding hunts, and its ultra-lightweight design won't hold you back in the field. Acquire targets faster and with improved accuracy using the illuminated Duplex reticle that offers 8 brightness settings for a customized view.
Each scope is equipped with a removable throw lever so that you can instantly and easily change magnifications, even while wearing gloves. The matte finish eliminates reflectivity to help keep you concealed, and the glare-free views ensure nothing stands in the way between you and your target. Gear up for your most exciting hunting adventure yet with this powerful 2.5-8x illuminated scope.
Every CDS model scope comes with a standard MOA or MIL dial right out of the box, so it's not a custom dial yet. To get yours, enter your ballistic information that can usually be found on your ammo box or the manufacturer's website and some of the environmental conditions where you'll be shooting the most, and we will laser-etch a new elevation dial to match. Once you receive the new dial in the mail, swap out the standard MOA or MIL dial, and you're good to go. The Custom Dial System® (CDS) ensures your scope is now perfectly tuned to the ballistics of your rifle.
Fully understanding your ballistics can be intimidating. That's why the Leupold Custom Dial System® (CDS) laser-etches your scope's elevation dial to match your load, velocity, and conditions. All you do is range your target, turn the dial to that number, and aim dead on. No more holdovers, bullet drop reticles, or ballistic calculators. Just quick, accurate shots every time.

Features of Leupold VX-3HD 2.5-8x36mm Rifle Scopes
DiamondCoat 2: Exterior lens surfaces are treated with DiamondCoat 2, an ion-assist lens coating, for higher light transmission and the greatest level of abrasion resistance we've ever offered. DiamondCoat 2 has the additional advantage of assisting in light transmission, for greater brightness, clarity and contrast, and will prove its worth in the wildest places on earth.
2nd Generation Argon/Krypton Waterproofing: Features our exclusive, proprietary Argon/Krypton gas blend, which nearly eliminates the effects of thermal shock, and reduces the diffusion of gases sealed inside your scope even more than our proven nitrogen technology already does.
Generous Eyebox: Get on target faster so you can take the shot of a lifetime. Even at higher powers, the longer eye relief and generous eyebox provides incredible head position latitude, edge-to-edge brightness, and a full clear sight picture that fills the eyepiece completely.
Blackened Lens Edges: Blackened lens edges reduce light diffusion, so more usable light reaches the shooter's eye. This results in a brighter image with increased contrast.
Twin Bias Spring Erector System: The twin bias spring exerts up to 30 percent more holding force on the erector, virtually eliminating erector system backlash and stress on the vital internal workings of the scope, for longer life.
3:1 Zoom Ratio: A versatile 3:1 zoom ratio erector system that is ideal for a wide range of situations.
Waterproof & Fogproof: Absolute waterproof and fogproof integrity means it's ready to perform in the field, in all conditions.
6061-T6 Aluminum: Only use the highest quality domestic, aerospace-grade aluminum is used.
Durable Lens Cover: A field functional and durable bikini-style lens cover is included for excellent lens protection both in the field and while in storage.
Xtended Twilight Lens System: The Xtended Twilight Lens Systemâ„¢ optimizes the transmission of low-light wavelengths, so you see the details of low-light scenes in greater, brighter detail than with any other scope available.
