You want the best. You got the best. The hottest scope in the world…the Leupold® VX-3i 4.5-14x40mm Side Focus CDS Rifle Scope. Brighter. More brilliant. More precise than ever. Featuring side focus, dual spring adjustments and the remarkable CDS^TM system that laser-inscribes your scope's elevation dial to match your load, velocity and conditions to put you in perfect synch with the way your rifle and load shoots, even for hand loads.

Twilight Max Light Management System

The Twilight Max Light Management System provides superior brightness and clarity by optimizing three key elements: Effective light transmission in all conditions; Enhanced glare reduction; Crisp contrast and resolution. That means you see better, even in low light and bright glare, and you can more easily pick out low contrast targets (like tines in heavy timber).

CDS Custom Dial System

The innovative CDS Custom Dial System allows you to quickly dial your elevation to different sight-in ranges with a custom adjustment matched to your specific ballistics information. CDS dials change out easily, allowing you flexibility with different loads, conditions and calibers.

• 30mm main tube dramatically increases windage and elevation travel
• Edge-blackened lenses reduce diffusion and glare to improve resolution and contrast
• DiamondCoat 2^TM external lens coatings for scratch resistance
• Dual-spring precision adjustment system ensures match-grade repeatability and strength
• Side-focus adjustment makes fine-tuning parallax effortless
• Easy-turn power selector can be quickly turned, even with gloves on
• Lockable, fast-focus eyepiece
• Twin bias spring erector system
• Second-generation Argon/Krypton gas more effectively resists thermal shock
