Leupold VX-3HD 3.5-10x40 (1 inch) CDS-ZL Duplex Riflescope 180617

I have this scope on a Ruger American Ranch in 300BLK that I use as a woods gun. The VX-3HD is a perfect combination of size, weight and optical quality. The throw lever on the magnification ring is a huge plus as well. Plenty to easily use, even with gloves, but not so big that it gets in the way. As for the glass, I do some photography on the side, so I tend to be critical. I could honestly tell no difference between my VX-3HD and my VX-5HD 3-15X42, aside from some some noticable fish-eye effect around the edges of the VX5 at lower power. While hunting with my son toward dusk, the 44mm objective on the VX5 gave maybe 3 - 4 minutes more usable light, and that's being generous. I think that the 2.5 - 8 would have been even better for my application, but I'm still thrilled with the whole package! This scope is worth every penny!
