Excellent scope and a fantastic buy for the money! Good magnification and with the 50MM objective it does well on gathering light for that early morning or later evening shooting opportunity.

This scope is a great upgrade to my 10/22. The clarity is unmatched to any of the other rimfire scopes I have and it is very light. I would highly recommend.

Absolutely love the glass as it is as sharp as it gets for a scope in this price range. My only complaint would be I prefer to have the elevation turret with a screw-on cover. Highly recommend this scope and will be switching all my other scopes to Leupold.

Purchased this for a Marlin XT-17. Not horrible but I think I would have preferred the standard 3-9x40 Hunt Plex. I feel the glass is clearer on the Hunt Plex.

I put the scope on

I put the scope on a 45-70 lever action rifle. I want it for short distance and quick view of the target area. So far I have no complaints about the scope but I wish you had an app for reference of drop for different loads and calibers. Unless I can't find the app.

Not impressed with the scope

Bought it for my 450, sighted it in several times, it was dead on then I went to shoot it again it was 4 to 6 inches high. It would never stay sighted in. We tried it on another gun and the same issue. Trying to get the scope sent back in to get checked out and customer service isn't the best. Not very impressed with the scope and customer service

Scope came in a timely manner. Scope glass clear with no distortion. Power adjustment ring turned smoothly. Basically what I would except from Leopold. They continue to make a great product. I've been using them for over twenty years and have always find the product living up to my exceptions.

For this end of the

For this end of the Leupold line up this is a fine scope. I have owned a Vari X iii 1. 5-5x for years and would have bought another if still produced. This is nice too. Well worth the price. I like that it isn't overly modernized in outward appearance. The zoom ring is a bit modern but functional. It's hard to find a sporting scope that isn't three quarters a tactical timmy scope that looks out of place on older classic rifles. Sometimes less is more!

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.

The new VX-Freedom delivers the legendary Leupold performance and dependability hunters and shooters have demanded for decades, combined with a host of new and improved features. The VX-Freedom is guaranteed to get the job done every time
