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

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.

Mounted on a T/C Omega

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.

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.

This is my first ever

This is my first ever VX-freedom scope. And the first new Leupold scope that I've purchased in 17 years. Technology and feature trickle-down is a real thing. Compared to my VX-2 that I bought in 2007, this scope is easily just as good as far as optical clarity and quality are concerned and the VX-Freedom is significantly easier for making reticle adjustments. For the price it's tough to imagine anything else out there being a better value than the VX-Freedom series. However, for an entry-level scope it could be beneficial if it had a slightly more forgiving eye relief. I set this up on my young son's rifle and a bigger "sweet spot" on the eye relief would have made it a little easier to get it right with his limited experience in knowing what correct eye relief should look like. I'm still very pleased with the scope and the quality and value that it offers for the price.

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 ...

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.
