Features

• 5:1 Zoom Ratio - A versatile 5:1 zoom ratio gives you 5 times more magnification at high power than at low power (model magnification ranges may be available in powers of 5x: 1-5, 2-10, 3-15, 4-20, etc.), so you can adjust your magnification to find the perfect balance between magnification and field of view for any situation. The larger the zoom ratio, the more versatile one scope can be.
• Professional-Grade Optical System - Leupold's Professional-Grade Optical System offers unmatched light transmission that’s designed to outperform in the most challenging lighting conditions, industry-leading glare reduction for a clear image in harsh, direct light, and the resolution and clarity that professional guides and shooters demand in the field.
• Guard-Ion Lens Coating - Guard-ion is a hydrophobic lens coating that sheds dirt and water for a maintenance-free, clear, crisp image.
• High-Definition Performance - Experience the difference with Leupold's High-Definition lenses, which provide unparalleled clarity, color, and image resolution at all magnification levels.
• Speedset Dial - The innovative SpeedSet dial eliminates the need for tools when zeroing or changing custom dials.
• Custom Dial System - Leupold's Custom Dial System® (CDS®) gives you the ability to customize your turret (adjustment dial) to your exact ballistics and environmental conditions. Once your new custom dial is installed, simply range the target, turn the dial to that number, and aim dead on.
• ZeroLock Dial - The ZeroLock® system eliminates accidental dial movement by locking it in place and allows for repeatable returns to zero.
• Integrated Throw Lever - The integrated, low-profile throw lever makes changing magnifications quick and easy.
• Illuminated Reticle - This scope comes with an illuminated reticle, which creates a visible aiming point for greater accuracy in low-light conditions.
• Motion Sensor Technology (MST™) - Extends battery life by automatically deactivating illuminated reticles after five minutes of inactivity and then reactivates instantly as soon as movement is detected.
• Precision Side Focus - The side focus adjusts the scope's parallax, making the reticle appear more clear and have less perceived movement when you're shooting at different distances. (available on select models)
• Waterproof, Fogproof, Shockproof - Leupold pioneered modern waterproof and fogproof technology using advanced internal gasses and sealing methods that withstand extreme temperatures, elevation changes, and shocks, so the internals of the optics stay moisture free and crystal clear for life.
