The Standard for Performance and Portability

When the terrain gets steep and the miles get long, every ounce matters—but so does every shot. The Leupold VX-3 2.5-8x36mm is the gold standard for hunters who demand a lightweight, streamlined optic without sacrificing the legendary ruggedness and clarity Leupold is known for.

Designed to sit low on the receiver and balance perfectly on mountain rifles or classic carbines, this scope is as versatile as the hunters who carry it.

Why the VX-3 2.5-8x36mm?

  • Elite Optical System: Experience unmatched light transmission designed to outperform in the harshest lighting conditions. It provides industry-leading glare reduction and the resolution required by professional guides and hunters.

  • The Perfect Power Range: The 2.5x low end offers an expansive field of view for close-quarter shots in thick brush, while the 8x top end provides the precision needed for stretching out across a canyon.

  • Ultralight, Ultra-Tough: One of the lightest scopes in its class, yet it is rigorously "Punisher" tested to withstand 5,000 impacts on Leupold’s recoil simulation machine.

  • Waterproof & Fogproof: Featuring proprietary gas blending and seals, this optic is guaranteed to remain clear in extreme temperature changes and torrential downpours.

  • DiamondCoat 2: Ion-assist lens coatings provide the highest level of scratch resistance and increased light transmission for a bright, crisp image.
