LEUPOLD VX-6HD 3-18x50 CDS-ZL2 Side Focus FireDot Duplex Riflescope

The LEUPOLD VX-6HD 3-18x50 mm is considered the most versatile hunting scope from this North American manufacturer. With a minimum magnification range of 3x, it provides a wide field of view to facilitate locating game, while at 18x, we have enough magnification for the longest shots that might occur in stalking in our country.

If there is one thing that distinguishes LEUPOLD scopes, it is the bright images they provide, great consistency and color fidelity, in addition to exceptional resolution. These are good features that will be noticeable during the twilight moments of the day. This is possible due to the small number of internal lenses it uses and their exceptional quality. Furthermore, this economy of glass significantly helps make these scopes especially lightweight overall. As if that were not enough, all LEUPOLD products have a lifetime warranty.



Features:

• Manufactured with a 30 mm tube made of 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum.
• Lightweight, weighing only 587 g.
• Wide field of view at 100 m: 12.60 m – 3x / 2.30 – 18x.
• Removable and reversible throw lever for quick adjustment of the magnification dial.
• Exclusive patented Argon/Krypton gas blend, which practically eliminates the effects of thermal shock and reduces the loss of contained gases even more than proven nitrogen technology does.
• Exceptional image sharpness across the entire magnification range. Thanks to the application of proprietary lens coatings, light transmission is maximized in blue and red, in addition to balanced colors, to show the highest possible contrast. Glare is controlled with special mechanical structures.
• Guard-Ion protective rain coating, which is extremely durable and resistant to scratches, water, dirt, and fingerprints.
• The internal erector tube features a “Twin Bias” dual spring system, made of a beryllium-copper alloy, which possesses 30% more holding force to withstand recoil and the most intense abuse.
• With long eye relief: 94 mm – 3x / 98 mm – 18x. In addition, it has a generous “eyebox,” making it very easy and fast to adjust head position relative to the eyepiece for a perfect view.
• FireDot Duplex reticle with fiber-optic illumination system, offering a perfect balance of contrast and brightness in both daylight and low-light conditions.
• The patented Motion Sensor Technology (MST) automatically deactivates reticle illumination after five minutes of inactivity, to reactivate instantly as soon as any movement is detected.
• This model includes high-quality flip-back lens covers, called Alumina®.
• MOA turrets: 1 click – ¼ MOA.
• Low-profile turret, with a maximum of two full rotations, allowing for a maximum elevation of 38 MOAs. The locking button remains visible during the first turn and is hidden during the second. The CDS-ZL2 (Custom Dial System ZeroLock2) system for the elevation turret is easily operated to set positions quickly; simply press the locking button while turning. In addition, the system allows for easy zeroing and, therefore, a very quick return to the starting position.
• The windage turret also features a ZeroLock system, which prevents unwanted adjustments and ensures a precise return to zero. Fast and easy to use.
• The level function facilitates scope mounting; it is an internal electronic level control via the reticle. This system also has a special function that temporarily disables illumination when the scope is tilted more than 30 degrees, allowing us to cant the rifle to save battery power.
• Included in the price of this model is a custom ballistic turret based on data provided by the buyer regarding the caliber and characteristics of the cartridge intended for use.

Leupold MST technology to preserve battery.
This function can be activated and deactivated as described in the manual and below.

To activate the electronic reticle level, press and hold the illumination button for fifteen seconds. The reticle will flash once at 5 seconds and again at 10 seconds. After 15 seconds, the reticle will flash twice to indicate the electronic level is ON. Release the button and press it again to TURN ON the illumination. If you repeat the steps above, the reticle will flash 3 times to indicate that the electronic reticle level is OFF.
Tilt the scope more than one degree to the right or left and the illuminated reticle will flash. Straighten it and the reticle stops flashing. Tilting it more than 30 degrees turns off the reticle to save battery.




Custom CDS Turret.
The CDS™ (Custom Dial System) allows you to quickly dial your elevation adjustment for different ranges with a custom dial that matches your specific ballistic information. Standard CDS turrets come with an MOA scale dial. You can order your custom turret for your rifle and ammunition.
