The Leupold VX-6HD Gen 2 3-18x50 is a high-end riflescope designed for complete versatility in stalking and long-range shooting. This second generation incorporates accuracy improvements inherited from the Mark 5HD tactical series, optimizing both its mechanics and ease of use..
Key Technical Specifications
- Magnification and Optics: 3x to 18x range with a 6:1 zoom ratio. Utilizes the Professional-Grade Optical System for superior light transmission in critical dawn and dusk conditions.
- Tube and Construction: Constructed from 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum with a 30mm main tube. It is fully waterproof, fogproof (Argon/Krypton filled), and impact-resistant..
- CDS-SZL2 Turrets: Low-profile ZeroLock 2 turret system that allows two full rotations of elevation. The Gen 2 version includes the SpeedSet dial, which allows zeroing or changing ballistic dials without tools or Allen wrenches..
- FireDot Duplex Reticle: Illuminated reticle with a central red fiber optic dot. Includes Motion Sensor Technology (MST), which turns off the illumination after 5 minutes of inactivity to conserve battery power and reactivates upon detecting motion..
Advanced Features of the Gen 2
- Integrated Electronic Level: The reticle flashes if the scope is not perfectly level (tilt greater than 1 degree), preventing canting errors on long shots.
- Integrated Augmentation Lever: Unlike the Gen 1, it includes a low-profile lever already integrated into the augmentation ring for quick and smooth adjustments..
- Guard-Ion Coating: Hydrophobic treatment on the lenses that repels water, dirt, and fingerprints, exceeding military standards for scratch resistance.
