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

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.

Before you venture into your next hunting or shooting expedition, consider the 3-9x40 VX-Freedom .450 Bushmaster Riflescope in matte black. This high-performance riflescope, renowned for its Leupold dependability, comes packed with an array of enhanced features designed to improve your shooting accuracy.

This riflescope has been rigorously tested on the Punisher, Leupold's recoil simulation machine, to ensure it can withstand up to 5,000 impacts, each three times the recoil of a .308 rifle. This ultra-lightweight design not only disperses recoil energy effectively but also guarantees unrivaled durability and performance.

The VX-Freedom riflescope features an easy-to-grip power selector, allowing for swift magnification changes. Its rear focal plane (RFP) reticles remain fine and minimally cover the target at high power, with subtensions that change with zoom for precise tuning of ballistic reticles.

The 3:1 zoom ratio erector system is versatile and ideal for a wide range of situations. The 1/4 MOA precision finger click adjustments for windage and elevation ensure absolute repeatability and dependability, even under extreme use.

Designed to perform in all conditions, this riflescope boasts absolute waterproof and fogproof integrity. Its ultra-lightweight 1-inch maintube not only provides weight savings but also enhances durability and lends a classic look.

The riflescope is compatible with bullet drop compensation dials that can be custom-engraved to your ammunition's exact ballistic profile through the Leupold Custom Shop.

The Twilight Light Management System adds up to 10 extra minutes of shooting light and eliminates 80% more glare-producing stray light than competitors, ensuring premium lens clarity.

The lenses are scratch-resistant, offering extreme military-standard protection. The Duplex Reticle, invented by Leupold in 1962, is defined by heavy posts that stand out against cover in low light, enabling quick target acquisition with a thinner center. This is the most popular reticle in the world, enhancing the overall functionality of the 3-9x40 VX-Freedom .450 Bushmaster Riflescope.
