Leupold VX-6HD Gen 2 3-18X 56 mm

Introduced earlier this year, Leupold’s second generation of VX-6HD riflescopes adds not just several additional features to the line but also a versatile 3-18X 56 mm model. The two biggest additions to the Gen 2s are the convenient new CDS-SZL2 dials that allow hunters to adjust the zeroes on their windage and elevation turrets in only seconds without tools and the integration of the company’s Mark series’ integral throw lever. Meanwhile, the updated models retain their compatibility with Leupold’s Custom Dial System—and vouchers for two custom dials come free with each scope—while also continuing to offer exceptional optical clarity thanks to High-Definition Lenses with the Professional-Grade Optical System and Guard-ion coatings. Price: $2,500 (3-18X 56 mm). Contact: Leupold & Stevens; (800) 538-7653; leupold.com.
