Perfect scope for hunting in my area. Glass is super clear and for the price and quality it can't be beat.

This scope is awesome for the shooting range and small game. We are having an amazing time with this mounted to a bolt action 22. Thank you for the awesome customer service.

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.

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.

Sir I have great feelings about all of my leupold scopes. Im a bit confused about why you have discontinued some of my favorite scopes . I really like the 4. 5x14x50 cds and fire dot 30 mm tubei have several. I see you brought back the 4x16x50 great move . I would like to see the 6x18x50 in a vx 3hd perfect scope. I have 3 3x15x56 and love them but you need to remember that everyone can't afford the high end scopes and a 4 to 600. 00 is within reach for most people. I believe that my suggestions are spot on and you would be wise to talk to the consumer. All told i have around 15 plus leupold scopes and will not even consider anything else.

Love my Leupold scopes. This scopebis no exception. I own 2 of these. One on a deer rifle and one on a . 22WMR. Great glass and it won't break the bank.

Mounted on a T/C Omega that has been converted to 45 cal smokeless muzzleloader. Scope is nice and clear with a bright picture but most importantly it is holding zero. Haven't used it for hunting yet so unable to comment on how it stands up in the field. I would buy another. Leopold has quality products and stands behind their warranty.

I was surprised by the quality of the glass on the VX-Freedom. They surpass the other scopes in this price range. Great Job again Leupold.

This scope is lights out on the 350 legend . Great clarity for a scope in this price range, nice clicks on adjustment and appears to be well built I've had mine for a little over a year and very well pleased!

Scope is light which is perfect for the Ruger 10/22 Carbon I mounted it on. Glass just as expected, but as a simple person I wish they made it with a normal fine duplex reticle. Only complaint. Reticle is the only reason for 4 star review.

Great scope for 450 Bushmaster
By Shooter
Best bang for the buck scope for a 450 bushmaster used for Deer. I put a 3-9x freedom on a Ruger Gunsite 450 BM. I used the rear mounts not the front rail. 100 yard groups are under 1 inch. Bagged two bucks last year at 180 yards. If you hunt in lower Michigan where the shots are from 20- 200 yards this is all the scope you need. CDS is pre calibrated for Hornady 450BM ammo. All you have to do is establish a zero at 100 yards, set the scope on 0 lock the cap and its done. Good for up to ...

Astonished
By McBride
The VX Freedom line of Leupold scopes is hands down the best optics value on the market. It's everything you'd expect of a Leupold; awesome reticle, clarity and brightness that is unmatched, sturdy yet light. I don't know how they do it for this price...I'll be buying many more.
After extensive research and development, we present the high-quality 3-9x50 VX-Freedom Riflescope in a sleek matte black finish. This versatile riflescope is equipped with a second focal plane duplex reticle, a feature that enhances your accuracy by allowing precise ranging and bullet drop compensation.
The VX-Freedom Riflescope is a product of Leupold, a brand renowned for its durable and reliable optics. It incorporates the Leupold Custom Dial System (CDS), a user-friendly feature that provides a customizable ballistics solution at your fingertips. This system is not only easy to install but also effortless to use, making it ideal for both hunting and target shooting.
Built around Leupold's Advanced Optical System, the VX-Freedom Riflescope delivers superior light transmission, best-in-class glare reduction in harsh light, and the resolution and clarity that recreational sportsmen and sportswomen demand. It's 100% waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof, ensuring it can withstand extreme temperatures, elevation changes, and shocks, keeping the internals of the optics moisture-free and crystal clear for life.
The riflescope features a 3:1 zoom ratio, a common feature in many scope models, offering three times more magnification at high power than at low power. This allows you to adjust your power down for close encounters or all the way up for long-range shots.
The ergonomic design of the VX-Freedom Riflescope ensures a slim, lightweight product that fits comfortably in your hands, regardless of their size. The traditional eyepiece lock ring allows you to lock in a focus setting that is best for your eye, while the hardened surface coatings meet extreme military standards in scratch resistance and added lens protection.
The ZeroStop system creates a backstop when returning the dial back to zero, preventing accidental full revolution turns in the wrong direction. The duplex reticle, invented in 1962 by Leupold, is defined by heavy posts that stand out against cover in low light, ensuring quick target acquisition with thin lines at the center.
Designed, machined, and assembled in the USA, the 3-9x50 VX-Freedom Riflescope is guaranteed to deliver every time, making it a must-have for any serious sportsman or sportswoman.
