DESCRIPTION

The Leupold VX-3HD 6.5-20x50 Side Focus CDS-T Fine Duplex is a high-magnification riflescope designed for precise mid- to long-range shooting. Its Fine Duplex reticle provides a refined central aiming area, while the 50mm objective supports a bright, detailed image at higher magnification.

Precision side focus allows parallax to be adjusted from 75 yards, and the exposed CDS-T elevation dial provides access to the scope’s adjustment range in precise ¼-MOA increments. Leupold has discontinued this model, making availability limited to remaining dealer stock.
