This durable rifle scope measures in at 10.10 inches in length, and is a nice, light 8.5 ounces in weight. That’s great because no one need worry that this scope will weigh things down. The eye relief is a bit short at 3.5 inches, but with a rim rifle, that should not be an issue. There will be no need for special rings to mount this scope because the objective lens is only 1.4 inches. This scope offers a magnification range of 2.4x to 6.7x. This gives the user a nice range of zoom out in the field. This scope has awesome resolution and clarity, and one can expect targets to appear as though they are just feet away. The optics on this scope are multi coated and are also infused instead of having a nitrogen filled barrel. The barrel is filled with a blend of krypton and argon gas. That blend gives this scope awesome fog proof properties, as well as shock proofing the item. As for the coating on the lenses, superb images in all conditions.
Leupold VX-1 3-9×40 Waterproof Riflescope, Matte Black, Duplex Reticle 113874
Regarding the light gathering abilities of this scope, seems to be second to none. This scope grabs light in such a way that you can use it a half an hour before sun up with no problems at all. The special lens coatings remove reflection, and obtains the most light transmission possible. The edges of the lenses are blackened to reduce glare. The field of view of this scope is a generous 46 feet at 100 yards using 2.4x mag, and 17.80 feet at 100 yards using 6.7x mag. Quite good considering the size of the product. The user will have no trouble spotting, watching, and leading the target before taking the best shot. You do not get rings with this scope, so you will need to put your hands on a set one inch rings, but no special rings are needed, and when you have the rings, the scope mounts quite easily. No tricks needed, no specialty items needed. Just mount, sight, and shoot.
Now lets touch on the toughness of this item. This Leupold rifle scope is basically human proof. It is fog proof, water proof, and quite shock proof. The O ring sealed lenses keeps the moisture away, and makes this scope perfect for adverse climate and weather conditions. The tube of this scope is high grade air craft level aluminum, and it can take a pounding. The exterior lenses have an amazing diamond coating. Perfect to avoid scratches and lens scrapes as well as assist in offering better light gathering and transmission. Incredibly durable and rugged item. Will give the buyer years of quality service, and will not disappoint even the most rugged outdoors person during the worst possible field conditions.
