l e u p o l d R i f l e s c o p e Our reputation as “America’s <strong>Optics</strong> Authority”, comes by way of a history and a proven track record of innovation that has helped shape an entire industry. From advancing technology in light management, to refining design and materials, to employing state-of-the-art manufacturing and production techniques, <strong>Leupold</strong> is at the forefront of making your experience in the field the best it can possibly be. And, there’s 106 years of evidence to back it all up. Light management is the name of the game. What you see and how you see it is a function of directing light to your eye. Simple in concept, yet much harder to achieve. That’s where our proprietary Quantum Optical System shines brightly. maTerial selecTion anD refinemenT We start with lead-free, precision-ground, environmentally friendly glass compositions. The geometry of each lens is then maximized through a combination of ZEMAX ® optical design software and evaluation using our Zygo ® interferometer. Wavefront error is minimized. Resolution is increased. The result is razor-sharp imaging across the entire spectrum of light conditions. Precision Tolerances in assembly Each of the optical elements must be precisely aligned and positioned to achieve maximum optical performance. Every element from the maintube to the lens system, from adjustment knobs to lubes and adhesives, must work together in perfect harmony to yield the brightest, clearest resolution and color fidelity. aPPlicaTion-sPecific coaTings For each scope model, we select from a variety of premium and proprietary anti-reflective coatings (Multicoat 4 ® , Index Matched, and Xtended Twilight), each carefully chosen for specific use and performance level. The critical nature of lens coatings affects light transmission, glare, color resolution, and optical clarity. As a result, our scopes boast total light transmission from 92% to 98%. Select models also received blackened lens edges to reduce the diffusion of light from unwanted glare, and direct more of the available light to your eye. caD/cam mechanical engineering Process Quantum <strong>Optics</strong> mechanical systems are dynamically engineered with sophisticated design tools that allow for rapid prototyping and high-speed, near-zero tolerance machining. xtended twiLight A wavelength specific coating that optimizes light transmission in low-light conditions by placing extra emphasis on the blue/violet spectrum. index matched A <strong>Leupold</strong> exclusive! Different lens coatings are specified based on the lens’ index of refraction, placement, and function. Each coating is layered to maximize light transmission for unparalleled brightness and resolution across the entire visual field. mULticoat 4 ® Our exclusive Multicoat 4 uses proprietary lens coatings to direct more light to your eye and minimize reflections on the exterior lenses. diamondcoat 2 Ion-assisted coatings provide superior resistance to scratching and abrasion. Exceeds military standards for hardness and durability, and aids in light transmission. diamondcoat An ion-assisted lens coating that provides unparalleled scratch resistance while optimizing light transmission. argon/krypton An exclusive blend that reduces diffusion of internal gases, resists shock more effectively, and provides 100% absolute waterproof integrity. Lead-free gLass Lenses Meticulously cut and polished glass lenses provide superior optics without environmentally damaging by-products. Unmatched precision for dead-on-the-groUnd accUracy. our cusTom Dial sysTem ® [cDs ® ] moDel scoPes allow you to quickly dial your elevation to different sight-in ranges with a custom adjustment matched to your specific ballistics information. The dials change out easily, allowing you flexibility with different loads and calibers. With precision 1/4-MOA click increment finger adjustments, and no adjustment covers to lose, the Custom Dial System makes the scope even more accurate and rugged. With every purchase of a CDS scope, you will receive one customized, ballistically matched adjustment dial. Upon receipt of your scope, simply contact <strong>Leupold</strong> with your ballistics data and shipping information, and we’ll send you a dial custom built to match the caliber and load you are using. Quickly dial in elevation to different sight-in ranges. Swap dials quickly by loosening set screws. Match dials with specific loads for maximum accuracy. Precision 1/4-MOA click increment finger adjustment (15-MOA per 1 revolution). No adjustment covers to lose. One revolution zero stops available for custom dials. Use in tandem with <strong>Leupold</strong>’s RX ® rangefinder family for unmatched long-range precision. Free with purchase of the scope. CDS is available on all VX-6 models, and select VX-3, VX-3L , VX-R ® and VX-2 models. see Page 108. 6x Zoom A powerful Twin Bias Spring Erector System delivers a broad 6:1 zoom ratio in models such as the VX ® -6 and Mark 6 ® . 8x Zoom Our tactical Mark 8 ® and Mark 8 CQBSS ® scopes feature our most powerful erector system, providing an 8:1 zoom ratio. Delivering extremely fast target acquisition at lower powers and precise target identification at extreme distances. 6 350 yarDs 550 yarDs
Every day Is a new day. With it comes another chance—and another responsibility—to prove yourself in the field. That’s not something we take lightly. At the end of every setting sun, we know you’ve placed your trust and your hard-earned money in a <strong>Leupold</strong> scope. As America’s <strong>Optics</strong> Authority, it’s a mission we’ve embraced since 1907, to manufacture optics of uncompromising standards. When you put a <strong>Leupold</strong> on top of your favorite rifle, you’ve made a commitment to be the best you can be. And you can count on us to be right there with you. It’s your day. Make the most of it. 8
