Leupold keeps their successful tradition of delivering state-of-the-art sport optics alive with their persistent attention to detail, precision and quality. This American optics company, located in Portland, Oregon, pioneered the process of nitrogen purging to waterproof riflescopes in 1947. Since then and to this day, Leupold continues to develop new technologies, and use advanced materials to push the envelope to produce some of the world's finest sport optics.
The VX-III riflescope series offer a remarkable feature set that is complimented by Leupold's legendary reliability and performance. VX-III riflescopes offer absolute water and fog-proof construction, a main-tube crafted from aircraft quality aluminum, and optical performance configured upon the Index Matched Lens System for optimum clarity and brightness all day long.
Hunters looking for a scope that can reach out to great distances will be well served with the 4.5-14x50 VX-III Long Range Riflescope mounted to their favorite receiver. With this scope you have the power needed to make distant targets seem up-close-and-personal. Accurate and responsible shot placement is always a key concern. Dialing this VX-III up to 14x can definitely make shots that would otherwise be impossible a very tangible reality.
To use a riflescope with your firearm, you'll need a mounting base and mounting rings in addition to the scope itself. Bases attach to your firearm and rings attach to your scope. Proper spacing of the rings, as well as the ring height should be considered to ensure a proper line of sight can be established. This will maximize the value of your investment, and enhance your shooting experience. It should be noted that in many mounting applications, a professional gunsmith's skills will be needed for proper installation.
When the variable illumination feature is activated, the cross-hairs and two of the hold-over hash-marks light up. Adjusting the intensity of the reticle allows the shooter to balance the sight picture against ambient lighting conditions.
This reticle is positioned in the rear or second focal plane so it will not magnify when the scope is zoomed to high power. This leaves the sight picture unobstructed for a clear view at all times.
