It features industry-leading glare reduction for a clear image in direct, harsh light, and the resolution and clarity that professional hunting guides and shooters demand.

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.
• Speedset Elevation Dial - Eliminates the need for the tiny tools and screws that can get dropped in the tall grass or lost in a pack. Just press, lift, reset, and go. Whether you're re-zeroing or installing a custom dial that matches your ammo, this innovative new system makes it faster and easier than ever to get set up and on target.
• High-Definition Performance - Experience the difference with Leupold's High-Definition lenses, which provide unparalleled clarity, color, and image resolution at all magnification levels.
• Integrated Throw Lever - Smooth, fast magnification changes let you adapt to targets at any range - perfect for when the hunt gets unpredictable.
• Competition-Grade Adjustments - Deliver the accuracy trusted by competitive shooters, now in the hands of every hunter.
• 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.
• Zero-Lock Dial - The ZeroLock® system eliminates accidental dial movement by locking it in place and allows for repeatable returns to zero.
• 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)
• Guard-Ion Lens Coating - Guard-ion is a hydrophobic lens coating that sheds dirt and water for a maintenance-free, clear, crisp image.
• Waterproof, Fogproof, and 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.
