New from Leupold, the VX 6-HD Gen. 2 riflescopes takes an existing winning platform and adds to it internal and external upgrades that really make it stand out with hunters looking for the very best.

Loaded with new features, the Leupold VX 6-HD Gen. 2 family of optics will initially be available in six different configurations: 1-6x24mm, 2-12x42mm, 3-18x44mm, 3-18x50mm, 3-18x56mm and 4-24x52mm, each with multiple illuminated reticle options and fully compatible with Leupold’s Custom Dial System (CDS), allowing you to easily compensate for bullet drop and make ultra-quick elevation adjustments on the fly.

Built around Leupold’s Professional-Grade Optical System, upgrades include competition-grade precision adjustments, an integrated throw lever and the all-new innovative CDS-SZL2 ZeroLock dial with SpeedSet technology, which eliminates the need for tools when zeroing or changing custom dials. The VX 6-HD Gen. 2 line also incorporates an electronic reticle leveling system to simplify optics mounting and improve long-range accuracy.

“We’ve designed the VX-6HD Gen 2 to be the ultimate hunting riflescope, and its features make that very clear,” said Vici Peters, Gold Ring product line manager for Leupold & Stevens, Inc. “The included Custom Dial System might be the most useful feature on the market for hunters. With just a few pieces of information, almost all available on the back of any box of ammunition, we can make dialing for distance incredibly simple. It’s a game-changer in the field.”

Leupold will offer two free customized CDS dials with every VX 6-HD Gen. 2 purchase, so you can match your specific load data, including environmental factors, to the elevation dial resulting in fast and accurate shooting at extended ranges. Every Leupold VX 6-HD Gen. 2 riflescope is waterproof, fogproof, shockproof, made in the USA and backed by Leupold’s unconditional Full Lifetime Guarantee.
