Designed around our Professional-Grade Optical System, the VX-6HD Gen 2 2-12x42 offers unmatched light transmission and resolution that’s purpose-built to outperform in the most challenging lighting conditions. The Guard-ion lens coating that sheds water, dirt and fingerprinting is a stand-out feature on all Leupold hunting riflescopes that provides superior glare management for a clear image in harsh, direct light.

The wide zoom range combined with an illuminated reticle and level, integrated throw lever and a fast-focus eyepiece with flip-back lens covers make the VX-6HD Gen 2 an incredibly versatile hunting riflescope.

The VX-6HD Gen 2 goes where other scopes can't. Its unique combination of features, durability, and competition-grade adjustments guarantees that it can handle any challenge you throw at it. It's 100% waterproof and fogproof, and like all VX-6HD Gen 2 riflescopes, two free Custom Dials featuring SpeedSet™ technology are available.

Features
A versatile 6:1 zoom ratio gives you 6 times more magnification at high power than at low power (model magnification ranges are available in powers of 6x: 1-6, 2-12, 3-18, 4-24, etc.), so you can dial your power way down for close encounters or all of the way up for long-range shots. The larger the zoom ratio, the more versatile one scope can be.
Leupold’s Professional-Grade Optical System offers unmatched light transmission that’s designed to outperform in the most challenging lighting conditions, industry-leading glare reduction for a clear image in harsh, direct light, and the resolution and clarity that professional guides and shooters demand in the field.
Experience the difference with Leupold's High-Definition lenses, which provide unparalleled clarity, color, and image resolution at all magnification levels.
The integrated, low-profile throw lever makes changing magnifications quick and easy.
The side focus adjusts the scope's parallax, making the reticle appear more clear and have less perceived movement when you're shooting at different distances. (available on select models)
Leupold's Custom Dial System® (CDS®) gives you the ability to customize your turret (adjustment dial) to your exact ballistics and environmental conditions. Once your new custom dial is installed, simply range the target, turn the dial to that number, and aim dead on.
The innovative SpeedSet dial eliminates the need for tools when zeroing or changing custom dials.
The ZeroLock® system eliminates accidental dial movement by locking it in place and allows for repeatable returns to zero.
Guard-ion is a hydrophobic lens coating that sheds dirt and water for a maintenance-free, clear, crisp image.
This scope comes with an illuminated reticle, which creates a visible aiming point for greater accuracy in low-light conditions.
The Electronic Reticle will flash when the scope isn't level, promoting more accurate long-range shots. It can also simplify the mounting process.
Motion Sensor Technology (MST™) extends battery life by automatically deactivating illuminated reticles after five minutes of inactivity and then reactivates instantly as soon as movement is detected.
Our high-quality Alumina® flip-back lens covers thread onto the scope to protect the lens from moisture, dirt, and debris.
Leupold pioneered modern waterproof and fogproof technology using advanced internal gasses and sealing methods that withstand extreme temperatures, elevation changes, and shocks, so the internals of the optics stay moisture free and crystal clear for life.
This product is guaranteed to perform for life. If your Leupold riflescope, binocular, red dot or spotting scope doesn’t perform, we will repair or replace it for free - whether you're the original owner or not. You don’t need proof of ownership or a warranty card, and there’s no time limit. We do this because we believe in superior quality and craftsmanship, and we’re confident your Leupold won’t let you down.
