Leupold has never been a company to rest on their laurels - they are constantly improving on their high-quality gear, or bringing new innovations to the world of optics.
The VX-L Scope is no exception and brings a whole new look to their VX line of scopes. The scope features a proprietary, patent-pending Light Optimization Profile that solves the awkward high mounting issues of "large-bore" scopes. The distinctive-looking objective lens on the end of the VX-L scope sits low on the rifle which gives you a better cheek weld for steadier shooting. And since it rides closer to the bore of the rifle it will allow for greater sighting performance and easier target acquisition. You can mount your 50mm VX-L as low as a typical 36mm riflescope, and your 56mm VX-L as low as a 40mm riflescope, etc. - starting to see the advantages here?
A low profile isn't the only great thing about the VX-L though; the scope also features Leupold's second generation of waterproofing technology which is an exclusive proprietary Argon/Krypton gas blend system. The advantages are two-fold. First, it nearly eliminates the effects of thermal shock. Second, Argon/Krypton molecules are significantly larger than nitrogen molecules, reducing the diffusion of gasses sealed inside your scope. Just a few more of the great features of the scope include:
Index Matched Lens System with DiamondCoat on VX-L riflescopes. A Leupold exclusive, this system has nearly perfected Leupold's already impeccable light management. Leupold optical engineers specify different coating materials for each lens surface within the riflescope, based on its index of refraction, placement, and function. They also matched the ideal coatings to each lens' glass type and layered these substances to minimize reflections and maximize light transmission. The result is unparalleled brightness and clarity.
Dual Spring Titanium/Nitride/Stainless Adjustment System gives you incredibly tight tolerances and near perfect engagement of the interior surfaces, for the utmost precision, as well as outstanding strength and durability. All 3.5-10x and 4.5-14x magnification VX-L riflescopes feature finger-adjustable 1/4-MOA click adjustments with re-settable pointer dials. The VX-L 6.5-20x56mm offers finger-adjustable 1/10th-MOA target adjustments with re-settable dials.
Dual Spring Erector System is the last word in ruggedness and durability, which is why we use it in Leupold Mark 4 tactical riflescopes. Leupold's standard erector system is the industry benchmark for ruggedness and durability. The dual spring erector system takes it a step even further, exerting up to 30 percent more holding force on the erector. This system virtually eliminates erector system backlash and stress on the vital internal workings of your VX-L riflescope. The result is generations of adjustment life and a riflescope that's more capable than ever of withstanding incredible abuse and pounding recoil.
Blackened lens edges are yet another way Leupold's optical engineers ensure light is transmitted properly through the scope, by reducing glare and providing the best possible contrast.
Lockable, extreme fast-focus eyepiece is threaded to allow even faster focusing than ever before. Set it quick, then securely lock it in for reliable performance every time you put your VX-L to your eye.
