VX-6HD Gen 2 3-18x44 CDS-SZL2 Side Focus Illum. TMOA
With a slightly smaller objective lens than its 50mm counterpart, the VX-6HD Gen 2 3-18x44mm can do it all while packing a little less weight. Dial it down to 3x to get enough field of view when hunting in brush and timber or dial it all the way up to 18x and you've got the magnification needed for proper identification and shot placement.


Built around our Professional-Grade Optical System, the VX-6HD Gen 2 3-18x44 offers the unmatched light transmission designed 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 industry-leading glare reduction and resolution for a sharp image in all conditions.
The wide zoom range combined with an illuminated reticle and level, integrated throw lever, fast-focus eyepiece and flip-back lens covers make the VX-6HD Gen 2 one of the most versatile riflescopes on the market.
The ultra-rugged VX-6HD Gen 2 goes where other scopes can't. Its unique combination of features, durability and competition-grade adjustments guarantees 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.
