Bought this for my squirrel

Bought this for my squirrel rifle. It gets banged around a lot and I have yet to lose zero. As always with Leupold the glass is crystal clear and extremely well built.

I got this for my

I got this for my father in law for his model 700 in 308. He had a Nikon on it but wanted a better scope. This was a great upgrade in scopes. It's super clear and he's shooting a lot better with just changing scopes. This is a great scope for the cost.

Perfect for my 10/22s

I have 3 different 10/22s adorned with this scope. I love its compact size and light weight combined with parallax adjustment. If it had a side focus, I'd probably own 5 or 6 of them. (Hint Hint)

I had real high hopes

This is the scope I wanted it's like an extra $200 for a illuminated reticle scope I'm really bummed that I purchased the one without the light other than that they're decent just above basic don't have too high of hopes but you will be able to see

Don't expect too much

I haven't really used it in the field yet but out of the box I was immediately bummed out when I found out it did not have a lighted radical other than that it has an amazing picture and clarity and it should meet my needs until I'm ready to step up into real scope territory . Because this is just barely above a child's toy for scopes very basic entry level don't expect too much when you purchase this like I did

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.

Be the master of precision and reliability with the Leupold 3-9x40 VX-Freedom Series Riflescope. This high-quality optic is designed to enhance your hunting or target shooting experience by providing unmatched accuracy and versatility. The matte black finish not only adds a professional look but also ensures durability in the most challenging environments.

The VX-Freedom is equipped with a second focal plane Duplex reticle, renowned for its clear aiming point and minimal target coverage at high magnification. This feature is particularly beneficial for shooters who require a consistent reticle size, allowing for precise shot placement across the scope's 3:1 zoom ratio. Whether you're engaging at close range or extending your reach, the versatile zoom capability adapts to a wide range of scenarios.

The Custom Dial System (CDS) sets this riflescope apart, offering a personalized shooting experience. By providing your specific ballistics, Leupold crafts a custom dial that simplifies the process of making accurate long-range shots. With no need for holdovers, you can range your target, dial the distance, and trust in your shot placement with confidence.

Durability is a cornerstone of the VX-Freedom, which undergoes rigorous testing on Leupold's Punisher recoil simulation machine. Each scope must withstand the equivalent of 5,000 impacts with a force three times that of a .308 rifle, ensuring that it can handle the recoil of your most trusted firearm without losing performance.

The easy-to-grip power selector allows for swift magnification changes, while the 1/4 MOA Finger Click adjustments provide precise and dependable windage and elevation settings. The ultra-lightweight design not only contributes to the scope's ruggedness but also maintains ease of handling and balance on your rifle.

Prepared for any weather conditions, the VX-Freedom boasts absolute waterproof and fogproof integrity. The Twilight Light Management System extends your shooting light, reduces glare, and offers superior lens clarity, giving you the advantage in low-light situations.

Finally, the scratch-resistant lenses meet extreme military standards, adding another layer of protection to your investment. The Duplex reticle, a Leupold invention from 1962, features heavy posts for quick target acquisition and a fine center for precise aiming.

Choose the Leupold 3-9x40 VX-Freedom Series Riflescope for a reliable, accurate, and versatile shooting companion that lives up to the Leupold reputation with every use.
