VX-L Riflescopes
VX-L® riflescopes combine the low-light performance of a large objective with a revolutionary design that hugs the barrel of your rifle, and now they offer another added advantage. Leupold® Illuminated Reticle Technology, available in select models, makes precision shot placement in low-light easier than ever. You’ll be amazed at the exceptional low-light performance and more natural cheek weld in your VX-L, the ultimate low-light riflescope.
Features
VX-L 6.5-20x56mm Long Range Extreme Varminter Riflescope
All the low-light benefits of a large objective riflescope, that mounts up to 30 percent lower than traditional models.
- The Light Optimization Profile™ allows your large objective VX-L® to hug the barrel, for the more natural cheek weld of a much smaller objective riflescope. Mount your 56mm VX-L as low as a traditional 40mm riflescope!
- Your sight picture remains perfectly circular, with crisp, edge-to-edge sharpness across the entire visual field.
- Side focus parallax adjustment makes it easy to focus parallax from any shooting position.
- The Index Matched Lens System® with DiamondCoat™ nearly perfects Leupold’s® already impeccable light management. Leupold engineers specify different coating materials for each lens surface within the riflescope, based on its index of refraction, placement, and function. They also match the ideal lens coating to each glass type, and layer these substances to minimize reflection, for unparalleled clarity, brightness and contrast.
- Blackened lens edges reduce light diffusion, so more usable light reaches the shooter’s eye, for a brighter image with higher resolution.
- DiamondCoat™ lens coatings on the exterior lens surfaces offer extreme abrasion resistance…it’s the same lens coating given to Leupold Mark 4® tactical optics being used in combat.
- Dual Spring, Titanium Nitride/Stainless Steel adjustment system delivers incredibly tight tolerances and near perfect engagement of the interior surfaces, for the utmost precision.
- Finger-adjustable 1/10-MOA target adjustments with resettable pointer dials.
- The Dual Spring Erector System is the last word in ruggedness, exerting up to 30 percent more holding force on the erector than our standard system. This virtually eliminates erector system backlash and ensures your riflescope is more than capable of withstanding abuse and pounding recoil.
- Lockable, extreme fast-focus eyepiece is threaded to allow faster focusing than ever before. Set it fast, then lock it securely for reliable performance every time you shoot.
- The VX-L features Leupold’s exclusive Second Generation waterproofing with Argon/Krypton gas blend. Leupold pioneered waterproof riflescope technology, and now this surpasses the benchmark we ourselves previously set.
- Available with the Leupold Ballistics Aiming System™ for more accurate long-range shooting, including the Varmint Hunter’s reticle.
- Unique matte black/red splatter finish.
- A durable Leupold Scope Cover is included to protect your valuable VX-L riflescope during transport or when not in use.
- Incredibly rugged, with absolute waterproof integrity in all conditions.
- Covered by the Leupold Full Lifetime Guarantee.
