La a series of Leupold VX-4HD represents one of the latest evolutions in the hunting optics sector of the American company. Designed to offer a perfect balance between optical quality, robustness, mechanical precision and competitive price, the new VX-4HD range sits between the VX-3HD and the prestigious VX-5HD, offering an extremely versatile solution for the modern hunter.
Thanks to the use of the new Elite Optical System , the construction on a 30 mm tube and the introduction of the CDS-ZL2 ballistic system , the VX-4HD series has been developed to successfully tackle any form of hunting, from mountain stalking to select hunting and twilight hides.
Elite Optical System: bright images until the last minutes of light
The heart of the VX-4HD series is the new Elite Optical System, designed by Leupold to maximize light transmission and offer extremely sharp images even during the most critical hours of the hunting day.
The optical system guarantees:
- High light transmission
- Reduction of reflections and glare
- Natural and faithful colors
- High contrast
- Excellent definition at the edges of the image
These features allow the hunter to distinguish game more easily during dawn, dusk or on days characterized by difficult weather conditions.
Rugged construction for all hunting conditions
The entire VX-4HD series is built on a 30mm central tube , a solution that guarantees greater adjustment range and a particularly resistant structure.
Come da tradizione Leupold, each riflescope is designed to withstand significant recoil and extreme environmental conditions.
The VX-4HDs are in fact:
- Water resistant
- Anti-fog
- Shock resistant
- Made to handle intensive use
The lenses are also protected by the Guard-ion treatment , capable of repelling water, dirt and fingerprints, always maintaining clear vision.
CDS-ZL2 System: Custom Ballistics According to Leupold
One of the most interesting elements of the new series is the CDS-ZL2 system (Custom Dial System ZeroLock 2).
This system allows you to use a customizable ballistic turret based on your loadout.
After having communicated to Leupold based on the ammunition data used, the company creates a dedicated turret that allows you to automatically compensate for bullet drop simply by setting the shooting distance.
ZeroLock technology also prevents accidental turret movements by always maintaining the zero point.
4:1 zoom ratio
The entire range uses a modern 4:1 magnification ratio , which allows you to tackle very different situations using a single riflescope.
Switching between the various magnifications is quick and precise thanks to the presence of the practical integrated lever (Throw Lever) , which makes adjustment easier even when wearing gloves.
Available reticles
The VX-4HD series comes with different reticle configurations to suit different hunting styles.
Among the main solutions we find:
- Duplex
- Wind-Plex
- Hunt-Plex
- FireDot Twilight Hunter Illuminated (on some models)
The illuminated versions use Motion Sensor Technology (MST) , which automatically turns off the illuminated dot after a few minutes of inactivity and reactivates it at the slightest movement of the weapon, helping to increase battery life.
