Leupold VX-3HD 2.5-8X36 1-INCH CDS-ZL DUPLEX

The VX®-3HD 2.5-8x36mm delivers legendary performance and extreme clarity in an incredibly tough, lightweight package. It’s the perfect workhorse for timber hunting and mid-range shots.

The VX-3HD delivers outstanding performance in low light. With Leupold’s Elite Optical System, the VX-3HD delivers excellent dawn-to-dusk light transmission for a bright image when it matters most, elite-level glare reduction in harsh light, and the resolution and clarity that diehard hunters and shooters demand. We also gave it match-grade repeatability and ergonomic controls that are easy to read and use, even with gloves. The VX-3HD is the best lightweight, low-light hunting scope in its class. And with its low-profile, one-revolution CDS® ZeroLock® dial, you can be confident your dial will only move when you want it to. Push the button to unlock it, dial, and then rotate it back to zero to lock it in place. It’s that simple.

Everything we put into your VX-3HD is there to help you tag out. Like all Leupold riflescopes, it’s designed, machined, and assembled in the USA and guaranteed for life.

Leupold

You know us, because we’re a lot like you. We work hard. We’re innovators. We hunt and shoot, and we generally get out a lot. Above all, we’re a family.

Our story starts here.

1907

Before we werea company,we were a family.

Fred Leupold and Adam Volpel—who had been brothers-in-law for eight years and close friends before that—go into business together.

Adam VolpelFred Leupold

Their company, Leupold & Volpel makes surveying equipment by hand.

Fred Leupold makes a promise that guides us to this day:The customer is entitled to a square deal.

1914

The Family Grows

J.C. Stevens invents the first water level recorder and becomes a partner when he brings it to the company. Fred Leupold’s son, Marcus, comes aboard as well.

Phone It In

Marcus is an avid outdoorsman.

This will become important later.

1937

Phone It In

J.C. Stevens keeps inventing. This time, it’s the Telemark, a revolutionary water level recorder that uses telephone signals to transmit information.

We told you we were innovators, didn’t we?

New Blood

Robert Stevens, son of J.C., follows in his father’s footsteps and takes a job with the company.

Business is Booming

Both the family and the company are changing, and our name changes with it.

Our new—and current—name is Leupold & Stevens.

1944

We began as a family business, and we remain a family business.

Our co-founder and patriarch, Fred Leupold, passes away.

Norbert Leupold

His son Norbert joins the company after working as a hydraulic engineer for the Army Corps of Engineers.

1940’s

“Hell! I could build a better scope than this!”

Legend has it that while hunting one day, Marcus Leupold missed a buck because his scope fogged up. He swore he could make a better scope, and that’s just what he did.

Who are we to argue with a legend?

1947

Birth of a Plainsman

After years of research—and lessons learned from World War II—we introduce our first riflescope. We call it the Plainsman, and it’s the first truly fog-proof scope built by Americans.

A new era in sporting optics begins.

Free & Clear

What was the secret to our first fog-free scope?

We evacuated the air out of the scope’s interior and filled it with pure nitrogen, which doesn’t react to sudden changes in temperature.

That’s how Marcus Leupold kept his word, and we’ve kept it ever since.

1953

The Man in the Field

Avid hunter and skilled marksman Jack Slack joins the company. Over time, he will become a celebrity in his own right.

Not to mention the fact that he’ll help shape the company.

1957

Weather-proofed optics quickly become hugely popular.

This surprises no one.

Encouraged by the success of the Plainsman and other early riflescopes, we expand our outdoor lineup even further, including a compass.

1958

Already having joined the company, Jack Slack becomes part of the family when he marries Marcus Leupold’s daughter, Georgia.

One of the Team

Werner emigrated from Germany in 1958 after receiving a job offer in the mail from Marcus Leupold. He started as a manufacturing technician and took on more and more responsibility over the years. He eventually took on the company’s top position…

…which isn’t bad for someone who wasn’t especially interested in a management job.
