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.
When choosing a do-it-all optical sight for your go-to rifle, consider the Leupold 3.5-10x40 VX-III riflescope. This is a super-versatile high performance sighting system that's at home on nearly any rifle, in any situation. While the 3.5-10x zoom range is classified as mid-range, you can certainly hit out to considerable distances safely and responsibly at 10x, so long as you're ready to do your part. At a lower magnification (3.5x), a very bright sight picture & a wider field of view offer very quick target acquisition.
Almost every scope can sight clearly on a sunny day at noon; Leupold makes sure you can get on target under all conditions, right through twilight. Their Index Matched Lens System ensures maximum light transmission and the proven process of nitrogen purging the main tube delivers a lifetime of water and fogproof performance. These features and many more combine to give you the performance and confidence you'll need to make every hunt a memorable event. All you need to do is pick out which reticle suits your shooting discipline and you're on your way.
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. By affixing the scope mounted rings to the rifle mounted base you create a reliable accurate, and secure sighting system. 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.
