Took my new scope on

Took my new scope on a bear hunt to Alaska. Long story short, after I fell 40 feet off a cliff and my scope hit slate rock on the fall, my scope still held a perfect zero and I took a huge Black Bear with my . 300 Win Mag. These scopes are tough! Even with rain, cold and falling from a cliff? the scope was clear and held zero perfectly! Well Done!

I own several rifles that

I own several rifles that are set up for Scout scopes, and as such have purchased a number of IER optics over the last 20 years. In that time the Leupolds have always been the top of the top of the heap for brightness, build quality, field of view, and light weight. I purchased this one to replace a perfectly functional scope from a competing brand because I didn't trust it to come to Africa. This scope, mounted to a sporterized Mauser, made the trip just fine. Only note; every set up is different, but at 4x an additional inch of eye relief would be nice.

This is a GREAT scope!

This is a GREAT scope! It's light weight, simple, and the glass is very clear. When I mounted it, I took 1 shot at 25 yards, 1 at 50, 1 at 100, and 1 at 200. We had 1 inch target stickers on the 200 yard gong. I handed it to my 15 year old nephew and he shot every sticker off the target, 1 round each. He warned me that he'll be stealing it soon. I don't blame him.

I purchased this as a

I purchased this as a budget option that still possessed the CDS Duplex. As such, the optic meets every expectation. All performance measures are in line with Leupold quality and price point. The only complaint, and the reason for four versus five stars is the lack of positive click adjustments in the windage turret. It just isn't as crisp as I would like, and it is easy to over/under adjust as a result. Overall, a great value for features, but if your expectations of finishes is higher, go for the VX-3HD.

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 prepared to elevate your shooting experience with the Leupold 1.5-4x28 VX-Freedom Series Riflescope, a testament to the evolution of Jeff Cooper's scout rifle concept. This high-quality, durable scope is designed to maximize the versatility and capability of your rifle, whether you're hunting game or engaging in long-range target shooting.

Crafted with a matte black finish and featuring a second focal plane Duplex reticle, this riflescope offers a clear advantage in the field. The reticle maintains a consistent size throughout the magnification range, ensuring minimal target coverage and precise shot placement. The 1" tube diameter contributes to the scope's sleek profile and reliable performance.

Experience the perfect balance of eye relief and magnification range that extends the limits of your scout rifle. The VX-Freedom's ultra-lightweight design not only withstands the punishing recoil of high-caliber rifles but also disperses energy effectively, enhancing durability and performance.

The easy-to-grip power selector allows for swift magnification changes, adapting to any situation with ease. Precision is at your fingertips with 1/4 MOA finger click adjustments for windage and elevation, delivering repeatability and dependability for a lifetime of rigorous use.

Built to endure the elements, this riflescope is completely waterproof and fogproof, ensuring flawless functionality in all weather conditions. The Twilight Light Management System extends your shooting light, reduces glare, and provides premium lens clarity, giving you a visual edge during the critical moments of dawn and dusk.

The scratch-resistant lenses are built to military standards, offering added protection against the unexpected. The Duplex reticle, a Leupold invention from 1962, features heavy posts for quick target acquisition in low light conditions, while the thinner center promotes precise aiming.

Choose the Leupold 1.5-4x28 VX-Freedom Series Riflescope for its unparalleled reliability, accuracy, and versatility. Trusted by hunters and shooters worldwide, this scope is guaranteed to perform, living up to the Leupold reputation for producing top-tier optics.
