The Leupold VX-4HD 3-12x50 Rifle Scope CDS-ZL2 Side Focus SFP Duplex is a Leupold rifle scope with 3-12x magnification and a 50 mm objective.
Lightweight, versatile, and built to outperform, the VX-4HD delivers total confidence wherever you hunt.
At its core is our Elite Optical System, engineered for superior low-light performance, glare reduction, and edge-to-edge clarity. Whether you're glassing at first light or squeezing the final minutes out of the day, you'll see the advantage.
A two-turn CDS-ZL2 elevation dial delivers precise, repeatable tracking, while the push-button ZeroLock ensures a secure and dependable return to zero. Every VX-4HD is eligible to redeem a free Custom Dial (CDS), matched to your preferred hunting cartridge and environmental conditions, so you can range, dial, and take every shot with complete confidence.
