Leupold’s Next Riflescope Generation: The New VX®-IIIBEAVERTON, Ore. – Leupold’s® next generation of Golden Ring® riflescopes, the new VX®-III, offers new lens coatings and innovative reticle options, as well as new finger adjustments, a fast-focus eyepiece and side focus features to help hunters and shooters see and shoot better in the field or at the range. The VX-III replaces and improves on Leupold’s popular Vari-X III line. One of the key improvements is Leupold’s new Index Matched Lens System™, which is designed to give the VX-III unparalleled optical performance. This lens coating system optimizes light management and maximizes light transmission to the eye, providing an exceptionally bright and crisp sight picture with sharp contrast, even in low-light conditions. In some VX-III scopes, total light transmission can reach as high as 98 percent. Available only in select VX-III models, Leupold’s new Ballistic Aiming System™, including the Boone and Crockett™ Big Game reticle and Varmint Hunter’s reticle, provides multiple range aiming points and can be easily adjusted to work with a particular cartridge by changing the magnification for more precise shooting capability. “Even experienced hunters and shooters are looking for new equipment that can make a big difference in their shooting,” said Mike Slack, Leupold’s marketing communications manager. “This is why we are very excited to introduce the VX-III to replace the Vari-X III, which is widely considered to be one of the most versatile, high-performing series of riflescopes ever made. Of course, the new VX-III offers all the ruggedness and absolute waterproof integrity that are the hallmark of Leupold Golden Ring® scopes while going above and beyond its predecessors in performance and features.” VX-III models are available in the following magnification levels: 1.5-5x20mm, 1.75-6x32mm, 2.5-8x36mm, 3.5-10x40mm, 3.5-10x50mm, 4.5-14x40mm, 4.5-14x50mm, 6.5-20x40mm, 6.5-20x50mm and 8.5-25x50mm. The 4.5-14x40mm Long Range and 4.5-14x50mm Long Range models offer both the Boone and Crockett Club Big Game and Varmint Hunter’s reticles as options. The Varmint Hunter’s reticle is also an option on the 6.5-20x40mm Long Range, 6.5-20x50mm Long Range Target and 8.5-25x50mm Long Range Target models. The Boone and Crockett Big Game reticle is also an option on the 2.5-8x36mm, 3.5-10x40mm, 3.5-10x50mm, 4.5-14x40mm and 4.5-14x50mm models.
