The VX-6HD Gen 2 3-18x56 is built around our Professional-Grade Optical System, which provides industry-leading light transmission, resolution, and clarity. Put it to the test at dusk and dawn, when animals move the most, and see how it extends good shooting light.

6:1 Zoom Ratio

A versatile 6:1 zoom ratio gives you 6 times more magnification at high power than at low power (model magnification ranges are available in powers of 6x: 1-6, 2-12, 3-18, 4-24, etc.), so you can dial your power way down for close encounters or all of the way up for long-range shots. The larger the zoom ratio, the more versatile one scope can be.

Professional-Grade Optical System

Leupold’s Professional-Grade Optical System offers unmatched light transmission that’s designed to outperform in the most challenging lighting conditions, industry-leading glare reduction for a clear image in harsh, direct light, and the resolution and clarity that professional guides and shooters demand in the field.

High-Definition Performance

Experience the difference with Leupold's High-Definition lenses, which provide unparalleled clarity, color, and image resolution at all magnification levels.

Integrated Throw Lever

The integrated, low-profile throw lever makes changing magnifications quick and easy.

Precision Side Focus

The side focus adjusts the scope's parallax, making the reticle appear clearer and have less perceived movement when you're shooting at different distances. (available on select models)

Custom Dial System

Leupold's Custom Dial System (CDS) gives you the ability to customize your turret (adjustment dial) to your exact ballistics and environmental conditions. Once your new custom dial is installed, simply range the target, turn the dial to that number, and aim dead on.

Speedset Dial

The innovative SpeedSet dial eliminates the need for tools when zeroing or changing custom dials.

ZeroLock Dial

The ZeroLock system eliminates accidental dial movement by locking it in place and allows for repeatable returns to zero.

Guard-Ion Lens Coating

Guard-ion is a hydrophobic lens coating that sheds dirt and water for a maintenance-free, clear, crisp image.

Illuminated Reticle

This scope comes with an illuminated reticle, which creates a visible aiming point for greater accuracy in low-light conditions.

Electronic Reticle Level

The Electronic Reticle will flash when the scope isn't level, promoting more accurate long-range shots. It can also simplify the mounting process.

Motion Sensor Technology (MST)

Motion Sensor Technology (MST) extends battery life by automatically deactivating illuminated reticles after five minutes of inactivity and then reactivates instantly as soon as movement is detected.

Alumina Flipback Lens Covers Included

Our high-quality Alumina flip-back lens covers thread onto the scope to protect the lens from moisture, dirt, and debris.

Waterproof, Fogproof, & Shockproof

Leupold pioneered modern waterproof and fogproof technology using advanced internal gases and sealing methods that withstand extreme temperatures, elevation changes, and shocks, so the internals of the optics stay moisture-free and crystal clear for life.
