Features of the Leupold VX-L Rifle Scope Series

Light Optimization Profile gives you the low-light performance advantages of a large objective riflescope, without the high mount. Leupold 50mm VX-L mounts like a 36mm riflescope, yet delivers 48.6 percent more Total Light Throughput (TLT)! Likewise, the 56mm Leupold VX-L mounts like a 40mm rifle scope, and delivers 96 percent more Total Light Throughput. The lower mount also gives your rifle better balance, and the quick, accurate aiming that comes with a low-mount cheekweld.

Leupold's Second Generation Waterproofing: While Leupold still waterproofs other optics with bone-dry nitrogen - first pioneered by Leupold in 1947 - Leupold VX-L riflescope features an exclusive proprietary Argon/Krypton gas blend. 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 even more than Leupold proven nitrogen waterproofing technology already does. Leupold pioneered nitrogen waterproofing, and it remains the industry standard. Argon/Krypton waterproofing now exceeds the first standard set.

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.

Leupold Diamond Coat lens coatings: These Leupold lenses are currently protecting the lenses of Leupold Mark 4 CQ/T riflescopes in the dustiest, sandiest environments on earth: Iraq and Afghanistan. Leupold has added this durable multicoating to the objective lens and eyepiece lens of Leupold VX-L to give you the ultimate in abrasion resistance and light transmission, for a flawless sight picture over a lifetime of hard use. It has made a difference in battle, and will make a difference where you hunt.

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 resettable pointer dials. Leupold VX-L 6.5-20x56mm Rifle-scope offers finger-adjustable 1/10th-MOA target adjustments with resettable dials.

Dual Spring Erector System is the last word in ruggedness and durability, which is why Leupold uses it in Leupold Mark 4 tactical riflescopes. The standard Leupold 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 Leupold 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.

Side Focus Parallax Adjustment Dial on select models gives you the capability to easily and quickly focus, from any shooting position, and delivers pinpoint adjustments from 25 yards (or less) to infinity.

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 Leupold VX-L to your eye.

Boone and Crockett Big Game reticle and Varmint Hunter reticle are available in select models. These unique reticles, part of Leupold's exclusive Ballistic Aiming System, make mastering long-range shooting easier than ever, with multiple aiming points for longer ranges and varying wind speed. Two power selector settings provide an easy way to set the aiming points to match your ballistics.

One-piece one-inch and 30mm main tubes are manufactured from single blocks of 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum alloy to offer outstanding lightweight strength and durability.

Tactile power indicator with range estimating feature on the power selector ring is super smooth, due to the addition of special graphite O-rings and infinite power band. The infinite power band selector lets you set your magnification exactly where you want it, not on a pre-set magnification that clicks into place, as on lesser riflescopes.

Legendary Leupold ruggedness is guaranteed

Each Leupold VX-L passes the same stringent tests as all Leupold Golden Ring optics. The Leupold Full Lifetime Guarantee is the best consumer protection available.

The brilliant 24 K gold will set your scope apart, even among other Leupold scopes.

Gold plating the wide Golden Ring and medallion will add considerable value, while enhancing the good looks and classic lines of your premium Leupold rifle scope.

Totally Custom Anodized Finishes for Leupold Rifle scopes(please allow 8 to 12 weeks)

For nearly 60 years, Leupold has used a hard anodized finish on Leupold rifle scopes, because it's the toughest finish that could be applied. Now, through the Leupold Custom Shop, OpticsPlanet can offer several new, exciting solid colors, fades, or even a unique "splatter" to any color offered. You can get an amazing looking one-of-a-kind riflescope with Leupold's custom anodizing processing. This custom color selection creates a unique scope like no other!

Our Leupold Custom Shop offers the options of a solid color, or a fade from black in front to your choice of color at the ocular - you can get a solid color, matte black faded to a matte custom color, or gloss black faded to a gloss custom color. The Leupold Custom Shop offers the following options: Forest Green,OD Green, Smoke Gray, Gun Metal Gray, Cobalt Blue, and Competition Red. You can also select Black or Silver anodizing if the Leupold riflescope that you selected to customize is not available in that color.

PLEASE NOTE: Some of the options that you might find in a printed Leupold Custom Shop Catalog or shown here are not available at this time. The color swatches shown here are representational only and are not exact - we are working with Leupold to get better pictures for this option.

In our Leupold Custom Shop you can choose one color, or you can have your riflescope finished in matte or gloss, with a fade to black or a tie dye! The price arithmetic is not simple, so here is an example on how a custom finish price is calculated.

• Base price for ONE solid matte color $150.00
• Add gloss finish $100.00
• Add splatter $35.00 then add a fade for $35.00
• Add tie dye $35.00

To add a fade from black to red in gloss with green and red splatter would be $150.00 + $100.00 + $35.00 + $35.00 + $35.00 = $355

If select a custom anodized finish, please allow 8 to 12 weeks for the scope to be completed. All other custom options are normally completed in four to six weeks.

Leupold Custom Ballistically Matched Reticles

The Leupold Custom Shop uses an ultra-modern electroform metal deposition process that incorporates micron precision to create your reticle. This new, custom reticle features ballistic compensation with a 200 yard zero, and dots marking the holdover points for 300, 400 and 500 yards. We've also included reticle features for range estimating.

Leupold Rifle Scope Reticle Change

You have selected your Leupold riflescope from OpticsPlanet, but you want a Mil Dot reticle or another Leupold reticle. We can help! The Leupold Custom Shop can install nearly any of the non-illuminated reticle styles pictured here in any of our non-illuminated Leupold scopes. Choose from four sizes of Duplex reticle, two Leupold Dot reticles, a variety of Target Dot reticles, or the Leupold Mil Dot reticle. In most cases, illuminated reticles can only be installed in illuminated reticle scopes.

Custom Bullet Drop Compensation Dials

You know your rifle, rifle scope, load, and ballistics like nobody else. Now you can have custom Bullet Drop Compensation (BDC) dials for your Leupold riflescope. If you would like this option, please fill out the ballistics worksheet above with your ballistics data, and Leupold will create a precision laser-engraved dial that will allow you to adjust for bullet impact at extremely long range.

Leupold's positive click adjustment dials are made of aircraft-grade aluminum with the appropriate ranges clearly and accurately laser-engraved on the dial. You determine range to the target, then adjust to the corresponding mark on the elevation dial to achieve startling long range precision. If you are a serious long distance shooter, this upgrade is a simple, yet extremely valuable modification to your scope that will prove its worth immediately in the field. Long range shots become more precise and more ethical, greatly improving your shooting.
