Leupold VX-6HD Gen 2 3-18x44mm CDS-SZL2 SF Illum. TMOA Riflescope (Model LE184424)

The Leupold VX-6HD Gen 2 3-18x44mm CDS-SZL2 Side Focus Illuminated TMOA riflescope represents a highly versatile optical solution engineered for long-range accuracy and low-light performance. This second-generation premium optic features Leupold’s advanced SpeedSet Zero Lock 2 (CDS-SZL2) elevation turret, offering a completely tool-less zeroing system. Built on a robust 30mm main tube, this model balances a wide magnification range with a streamlined 44mm objective lens, delivering clear target acquisition from dense timber to open plains. As a low-voltage optical device powered by a single coin battery, it complies fully with Australian import standards without requiring complex electrical certifications or SAA approvals.

Key Features:

• CDS-SZL2 Elevation Turret: Features the tool-less SpeedSet system with an integrated lever that flips up to unlock, allowing for rapid zeroing and custom dial swapping without the need for Allen wrenches.
• High-Definition Optical System: Delivers sharp edge-to-edge clarity and colour fidelity, supported by Guard-Ion hydrophobic lens coatings that actively repel water, dirt, oil, and fingerprints.
• Illuminated TMOA Reticle with MST: The second focal plane reticle is equipped with Motion Sensor Technology (MST), which automatically deactivates the illumination after five minutes of inactivity and wakes instantly upon movement to preserve battery life.
• Electronic Reticle Level: An internal electronic level simplifies scope mounting and flashes to alert the shooter if the rifle is canted, enhancing shot consistency at long distances.
• Australian-Ready Power System: Runs on a single, globally standard CR2032 3V button cell battery. This low-voltage, non-rechargeable system bypasses the need for 240V Australian RCM or mains charging compliance.
• Included Accessories: Packaged with a removable throw lever for swift magnification adjustments and durable flip-back lens covers to protect the glass in harsh conditions.

Who It Is For:

This riflescope is designed for Australian hunters and sport shooters who require a single, adaptable optic for diverse environments. The 3x to 18x magnification range makes it highly suitable for stalking game in dense bushland at low power, while providing the necessary magnification and elevation tracking to target game across wide alpine valleys or open outback country. Its robust construction and reliable low-light illumination make it a valuable tool for shooters operating during dawn, dusk, or in overcast conditions.
