Elevate Your Competitive Edge: The Leupold VX-4.5HD Service Rifle Scope

For the dedicated competitor in the demanding world of NRA Service Rifle matches, precision, speed, and unwavering reliability are not just advantages—they are necessities. Every fraction of a MOA, every split second saved on target acquisition, contributes to that coveted high score. The Leupold VX-4.5HD Service Rifle 1-4.5x24mm with Illuminated FireDot Bull-Ring Reticle (UPC: 030317020880) stands as the definitive optical solution engineered specifically to meet, and exceed, these rigorous demands. This isn't just a scope; it's a strategic tool designed to transform your shooting performance and provide a distinct competitive advantage.

Precision Engineered for Peak Performance

What makes a rifle scope truly exceptional for competitive shooting? It starts with an optical system that delivers unparalleled clarity and a design that integrates seamlessly with the dynamic requirements of a match. The Leupold VX-4.5HD is a masterclass in this philosophy, offering a suite of features meticulously crafted for the serious marksman.

The Ideal Magnification Range: 1-4.5x

The 1-4.5x magnification range of the VX-4.5HD is not arbitrary; it's a deliberate choice tailored to the specific rules and practicalities of NRA Service Rifle competitions. At its lowest 1x power, this scope provides an exceptionally wide and true-to-life field of view. This wide, distortion-free image is crucial for rapid target acquisition during off-hand or close-range stages, allowing for swift transitions between targets and maintaining situational awareness without sacrificing speed. You can easily acquire your sight picture, make rapid adjustments, and transition to the next target with confidence.

Conversely, the maximum 4.5x magnification adheres precisely to the highest limit allowed in NRA Service Rifle. This power provides enough magnification for precise shot placement on distant targets while maintaining a comfortable field of view and excellent light transmission. It strikes the perfect balance, giving you the clarity needed for tight groupings without the excessive magnification that can make off-hand shooting unsteady. Whether you're engaging targets at 100, 200, or 300 yards, the VX-4.5HD provides the crisp, detailed image necessary for precise aiming.

Unrivaled Optical Clarity: Leupold's Professional-Grade Optical System

At the heart of every Leupold scope lies its legendary optical system, and the VX-4.5HD is no exception. It employs Leupold's Professional-Grade Optical System, designed to deliver industry-leading light transmission, stunning resolution, and exceptional clarity from edge to edge. This means:

• Bright, Clear Image: Even in challenging light conditions, such as early morning or late afternoon, the scope gathers ample light, presenting a bright and vivid sight picture. This is vital for discerning target details and achieving accurate aim.
• True-to-Life Color Fidelity: Colors are rendered accurately, ensuring that the target and its surroundings appear natural and undistorted. This reduces eye strain during prolonged shooting sessions.
• Edge-to-Edge Sharpness: There's no compromise on clarity at the edges of the field of view. Every part of the image is sharp and focused, providing a comprehensive and reliable sight picture.
• Reduced Glare and Flare: Advanced lens coatings minimize glare and internal reflections, ensuring a clear view even when shooting towards the sun or in bright, reflective environments.

This superior optical performance contributes directly to better scores by reducing eye fatigue, enhancing target identification, and boosting confidence in every shot.

The Illuminated FireDot Bull-Ring Reticle: Speed Meets Precision

The Leupold VX-4.5HD features the Illuminated FireDot Bull-Ring Reticle, a design specifically optimized for competitive service rifle shooting. This second focal plane (SFP) reticle offers distinct advantages:

• Rapid Target Acquisition: The bold Bull-Ring design provides a fast, intuitive aiming point for quick target acquisition, especially crucial during rapid-fire stages.
• Precision Aiming: The fine FireDot center offers a precise aiming point for bullseye accuracy, allowing shooters to confidently aim for the smallest groups.
• Illumination for All Conditions: The illuminated FireDot ensures reticle visibility in a wide range of lighting conditions, from bright daylight to dusk, or even against dark targets. This eliminates the common issue of a dark reticle blending into a dark background, ensuring you always have a clear aiming point. The illumination intensity can be adjusted to match ambient light, preventing washout or over-brightness.
• Consistent Reticle Size: Being a Second Focal Plane (SFP) reticle, the FireDot Bull-Ring maintains a consistent size relative to the shooter's eye, regardless of the magnification setting. This means your holdovers and aiming points will feel consistent across the 1x to 4.5x range, simplifying adjustments and reducing potential errors during a match.

This reticle design empowers shooters to quickly acquire targets and make precise shots, crucial elements for success in dynamic shooting disciplines.

Custom Dial System (CDS): Precision at Your Fingertips

The Leupold Custom Dial System (CDS) is a game-changer for competitive shooters who need to make rapid, precise elevation adjustments based on their specific ammunition and range conditions. With CDS, Leupold engineers a custom elevation dial that is precisely matched to your rifle's ballistics and your preferred ammunition.

• Eliminate Guesswork: Instead of complex MOA or MIL calculations, your CDS dial can be marked with yardage increments, allowing you to simply dial the exact distance to your target. This streamlines the aiming process under pressure.
• Repeatable Accuracy: Once your CDS dial is calibrated, you can be confident that your adjustments are precise and repeatable, contributing to consistent shot placement.
• Quick Adjustments: The tactile and audible clicks of the turret provide positive feedback, allowing for quick, confident adjustments without taking your eyes off the target.

This feature is invaluable for shooters who frequently engage targets at varying distances, ensuring every shot is optimized for accuracy.

Zero Stop: Confident Return to Zero

The Zero Stop feature is a non-negotiable for serious competitive shooters. It provides a tactile stop at your predetermined zero setting, preventing you from dialing past your zero, even in low light or under pressure. This means:

• Reliable Return to Zero: After making elevation adjustments for different ranges, you can quickly and confidently dial back to your original zero position without having to look at the turret or count clicks.
• Eliminates Accidental Adjustments: The physical stop ensures you won't inadvertently dial below your zero, preventing frustrating missed shots due to miscalibration.
• Increased Confidence: Knowing your scope will always return to its perfect zero position instills confidence, allowing you to focus purely on your shooting technique.

This feature is paramount for maintaining consistency and accuracy throughout a multi-stage match.

Motion Sensor Technology (MST): Power Efficiency and Instant Readiness

Leupold's Motion Sensor Technology (MST) is an intelligent power management system for the illuminated reticle. When the scope is stationary for a period, the illumination automatically turns off to conserve battery life. As soon as any motion is detected, the illumination instantly reactivates.

• Extended Battery Life: Maximizes the life of your battery, reducing the need for frequent replacements and ensuring your illumination is ready when you need it most.
• Instant On/Off: No need to manually turn the reticle on or off; it's always ready when you are, ensuring you don't miss a critical moment during competition.
• Reliability: Contributes to the overall reliability of the scope, knowing your reticle illumination will be active the moment you shoulder your rifle.

Built to Endure: Leupold's Legendary Durability

Competitive shooting often involves challenging environments and rigorous use. Leupold understands this, and the VX-4.5HD is built to withstand the toughest conditions, embodying Leupold's legendary reputation for ruggedness and reliability.

• Aerospace-Grade Aluminum Construction: The 30mm maintube is crafted from aerospace-grade 6061-T6 aluminum, known for its exceptional strength and lightweight properties. This ensures the scope can endure significant recoil and impact without compromise.
• Waterproof, Fogproof, Shockproof: Each VX-4.5HD scope is rigorously tested to ensure it is absolutely waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof. It's purged with a proprietary blend of inert gases, preventing internal fogging across extreme temperature changes. This means consistent, clear performance, whether you're shooting in rain, snow, or humid conditions.
• Scratch-Resistant Lenses: The external lenses are treated with Leupold's Guard-Ion coating, an ion-assist lens coating that is incredibly durable and scratch-resistant, protecting the optical system from abrasions and environmental damage. This coating also sheds water, dirt, and fingerprints, maintaining optimal clarity.
• Matte Black Finish: The durable matte black finish not only provides a sleek, professional appearance but also reduces glare, preventing reflection that could betray your position or interfere with your sight picture.

When you invest in a Leupold VX-4.5HD, you're investing in an optic that's engineered to perform flawlessly for years, match after match, regardless of the conditions.
