BEAVERTON, Ore. — The Leupold & Stevens, Inc. VX^®-3i LRP family of riflescopes has been named the “Optic of the Year” by the editors of Guns & Ammo magazine.   

Designed to deliver the utmost optical performance for hunters, competitors and long-range shooters alike, the VX-3i LRP features the proprietary Twilight Max^® Light Management System, which balances light across the visible spectrum, leading to a brighter, crisper image. It also eliminated the washed-out image that can come from direct sunlight.

“Leupold has given the VX-3i LRP lens coatings that give it excellent image quality,” wrote the Guns & Ammo editors. “Low-light performance also benefitted across the line with Leupold’s Twilight Max system.”

Editors also called out the VX-3i LRP’s simplified, easy-to-use adjustments, particularly the ease with which the Zero Stop is reset.

“We designed the VX-3i LRP to deliver relentless performance for any rifle shooter, be it on a hunt, on the range or in a match,” Michael Wunnicke, marketing director for Leupold & Stevens, Inc., said. “We are grateful to the Guns & Ammo team, who pushed the VX-3i LRP to the limits in their testing. It’s a recognition we’re honored to receive.”
