Like all of the Leopold

Like all of the Leopold scopes I own, it's very clear, easy to focus and the warranty and customer service can't be beat. I'm very thankful for the VIP program that supports veterans and law enforcement. I will continue to purchase Leopold products that are proudly made in the USA.

I received the scope in

I received the scope in a timely manner. I installed it on a new Browning rifle. The scope was in perfect condition as expected from Leupold. At 12 magnification the 100 yard target was out of focus and blurry. After dialing it down to 6 power everything was clear again and the sight in period was successfully completed. Operation was smooth and all adjustments were precise. Scope held it's zero throughout multiple shooting cycles. A well made scope.

I purchased this scope for

I purchased this scope for a CVA Cascade chambered in . 350 legend, and it is exactly what I was hoping it would be. The lens quality is extremely impressive, even when compared to the high end optics offered by other manufacturers. The reticle is crisp and clean and the magnification adjusts easily even in bitter cold. The scope holds zero and each turret click is solid without feeling mushy. I haven't had the opportunity to test the CDS dial at varying ranges, but it return to original zero after dialing out to max range and the back. My only complaint would be that the CDS dial doesn't lock or have some kind of a firmer detent. This scope was purchased for a youth rifle and I am concerned that at some point the CDS could be unknowingly turned. All things considered, though, this is truly a solid scope.

Placed on my son's first

Placed on my son's first rifle and it's perfect for a youth beginner. My only concern is the CDS not having a lock-wish there was a "tougher" detention just to get out of the zero. Used to that security on the VX-5 and 6. If this were there it would be an absolute steal for the price! Still believe it is an exceptional scope for the price.

This never should've been discontinued!!

Perfect magnification (2-7x33) for most hunting and pretty much all AR-15/AR-10 applications. Got one of these VX-Freedoms, a VX-1, and a Redfield Revolution in this same magnification. I really don't understand why you discontinued it. The glass is good, the magnification range is spot-on, it holds zero like a politician holds office, and the turrets on the VX-Freedoms are a lot like the Revolutions. They're a little mushy, sure, but they do work. At this price point, there really is nothing better, especially since it's made in the USA. Shame to see it go. Hopefully you bring it back.

ULTIMATE HIGHER POWER SCOPE

This scope is perfect for me. Power rage is very useful and versatile. Weight is lowest i have found in its power range. Over all size for me is ideal. Rings don't have to be as high. Reliable quality. Repeatable holds zero for me so far. I SURE HOPE LEUPOLD DOES NOT DISCONTINUE THIS SCOPE! Reasonable price. Only negative is i wish low starting power was a little lower. Again perfect for me as is though.

This scope is the perfect

This scope is the perfect size for the application wherein I'm using it. It's mounted on a Kimber Mountain Accent rifle. Most scopes today are to big and burdensome if you inted to mount it on a light weight mountain type rifle. Everything about the scope, form, fit and finish is perfectly suited for my use. Clarity is comparable to higher end scopes.

The quality of this "budget" line is extraordinary. It does not feel budget at all. I have used a VX-5 and this freedom really doesn't feel any different. Very good quality for the price.

Disappointed with lack of accessory

Love everything about this scope, except that it doesn't come with a bikini. I can only find a generic one and it doesn't fit well. I don't want a cover that stays attached and don't want one that completely covers scope, just a simple bikini that's easily removed and fits in my pocket. If one is available for this, I certainly can't find it.

Mounted on a Bergara 17HMR, Going to get a couple more for all my small caliber long guns. This is by far the clearest glass and best bang for a buck I have ever purchased. I have a dozen or so competitors that don't come close to this optic.
