Leupold Tactical Optics

BEAVERTON, Ore. --(Ammoland.com)- Hunters and shooters can now order a VX-II 1.5-4x28mm scout riflescope through the Leupold Custom Shop.

Ideal for scout rifles, lever action rifles or any rig that calls for mounting optics in front of the receiver, the VX-II variable scout scope helps the shooter quickly get on target with 8.75 inches of optimum eye relief on low power (7.75 inches on high power). Numerous reticle options are available.

The VX-II variable scout scope is among the first of a series of products that will be launched exclusively through the Leupold Custom Shop.  It joins a 3x20mm fixed-power riflescope that was introduced earlier this year.

“We have already seen a lot of interest in the variable scout scope, even though it is not in our regular line,” said Pat Mundy, communications manager for Leupold & Stevens, Inc.  “Those who want more information on this and other new offerings should contact our custom shop directly.”

Other key features of the VX-II variable scout scope include Leupold’s proprietary Multicoat 4 lens system for a bright, clear image, and ¼-MOA field click adjustments for windage and elevation.

The scope has a one-inch maintube, measures nearly 11 inches in length and weighs only 8.8 ounces.  Field of view at 100 yards on the lowest magnification is 41.7 feet (16.5 feet on the highest magnification).

Like all Golden Ring optics, the VX-II 1.5-4x28mm scout scope is waterproof and fog proof, and is backed by Leupold’s Full Lifetime Guarantee.  For more information, call 1-800-LEUPOLD.  Additional information on the Leupold Custom Shop is available at www.leupold.com.
