New Leupold VX3
Press Release:
BEAVERTON, Ore. Leupold® has a new flagship line of riflescopes with
multiple advanced features and superior optical performance the all-new
VX®-3 and VX-3L riflescopes. The new line lists a new lens system and
models with the Light Optimization Profile among the enhancements.
All VX-3/VX-3L riflescopes feature Leupold's Xtended Twilight Lens System.
The system uses index matched glass with proprietary lens coatings that
rebalance blue and purple wavelengths to provide hunters with an even
brighter, sharper image in low-light conditions.
"Progress and development should never stop," commented Mike Slack,
Leupold¹s marketing communications manager. "The VX-3 is a leap forward in
the areas of mechanical reliability, light management, and ruggedness.
Hunters and shooters are going to love all the new features the line has to
offer."
Other new features for the VX-3/VX-3L include cryogenically treated,
Titanium-Nitride coated, high-strength aluminum adjustment dials and
Leupold¹s most durable dual spring erector system. This combination of
features makes the VX-3/VX-3L riflescopes more rugged than ever before.
The VX-3L models feature the Light Optimization Profile the cut crescent
shape made famous by the VX-L®. The crescent delivers maximum Total Light
throughput, yet allows a lower mount for proper cheek weld and faster
target acquisition.
Other new key features to the line include:
* Second generation Argon/Krypton waterproofing Leupold¹s exclusive
internal gas blend and the last word in thermal shock resistance, keeping
the riflescope fog proof as well as waterproof
*Blackened lens edges eliminates residual refraction and minimizes the
effects of stray light for maximum photopic transmission, clarity and
contrast
* DiamondCoat 2 ion-assist lens coating provides higher light
transmission while supplying the highest level of abrasion resistance

The new riflescopes are offered in configurations from 1.5-5x20mm, which is
ideal for dangerous game and close range shooting, all the way to
8.5-25x50mm Long Range Target which is ideal for long range varminting and
competition shooting. The riflescopes feature a one-inch maintube and 1/4 - MOA
adjustments for both windage and elevation, with selected models having
finer adjustments and/or 30mm maintubes. Users can choose between a wide
selection of reticles, appropriate for virtually any hunting or shooting
need.

Guarantee.
