It’s what’s inside that makes the Vari-X III arguably the definitive scope for shooting in low-light conditions, thanks to its superior light-management qualities. The argument is over when you also consider that the Vari-X III has excellent clarity and contrast, an expansive field of view, ample non-critical eye relief, and Multicoat 4, our proprietary anti-reflective lens coating. Five models (three sporting models and two tactical models) feature our 11 intensity setting Leupold Illuminated Reticle for quick, precise shot placement in any light.

Its construction has also helped make the Vari-X III an industry marvel and a favorite of shooters. Parts are precisely machined, resulting in a scope that not only feels uncommonly solid and well-built, it will last for generations of hard hunting.

You’ll be able to feel and hear the quality in every tactile and audible click of the windage and elevation adjustments. Four clicks move your point of impact one inch at 100 yards. Once sighted-in, use the pointer dials to return quickly to zero after making field adjustments.
