Mounted on my M-1 Garand.

Mounted on my M-1 Garand. Needs another 1/2 inch or so of eye relief to work properly at full magnification. Probably going to move this scope to my . 30-30, and look for something else for the Garand.

VX Freedom 4+12×40 Will Not Focus

The scope will not focus properly. 25yds and beyond forget it. Stays fuzzy. She's never crisp. Never. Played with the reticle. Nope. Didn't help. Couldn't get a crisp crosshair. 20+ rounds fired through rifle. Other individuals couldn't get a good crisp outline. Not Happy. My Leupold 3-9x40 is fabulous. Make me happy Leupold.

I have two of these, one on a 350 legend and another on a 6. 5 creedmore. Both lightweight builds for walking the woods in Michigan and these are consistently better than any other optic I've ever owned. Never an issue in low light, always able to see through the optic what I can with my eyes

My recently purchased VX Freedom

My recently purchased VX Freedom is an excellent optic, after carefully mounting it I fired my . 270 once, made an adustment, fired the second round and made an adjustment , the next two rounds were dime size in the bullseye at 100 yards, point being the inner workings the adjustment turret are spot on. Now in personal opinion Luepold is the best, hands down. . . Andrew.

Fantastic scope

I have 2 of these pig plex scopes. 1 on a Marlin 1895 45/70. The other is on a Ruger Hawkeye . 358 Winchester. I can shoot sub moa groups with both rifles at 100 yards. It is great for snap shooting as it is a very fast target acquisition scope.

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 ...
