Bought this for my squirrel

Bought this for my squirrel rifle. It gets banged around a lot and I have yet to lose zero. As always with Leupold the glass is crystal clear and extremely well built.

I got this for my

I got this for my father in law for his model 700 in 308. He had a Nikon on it but wanted a better scope. This was a great upgrade in scopes. It's super clear and he's shooting a lot better with just changing scopes. This is a great scope for the cost.

Perfect for my 10/22s

I have 3 different 10/22s adorned with this scope. I love its compact size and light weight combined with parallax adjustment. If it had a side focus, I'd probably own 5 or 6 of them. (Hint Hint)

I had real high hopes

This is the scope I wanted it's like an extra $200 for a illuminated reticle scope I'm really bummed that I purchased the one without the light other than that they're decent just above basic don't have too high of hopes but you will be able to see

Don't expect too much

I haven't really used it in the field yet but out of the box I was immediately bummed out when I found out it did not have a lighted radical other than that it has an amazing picture and clarity and it should meet my needs until I'm ready to step up into real scope territory . Because this is just barely above a child's toy for scopes very basic entry level don't expect too much when you purchase this like I did

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.

Under the banner of Leupold, a brand synonymous with high-quality and durable optics, the VX-Freedom 3-9x50mm Riflescope stands out as a reliable and versatile tool for hunters and long-range shooters. This matte black riflescope, with its 30mm tube and illuminated second focal plane FireDot Twilight Hunter reticle, is designed to enhance your shooting accuracy and visibility, even in low-light conditions.

Engineered with a larger objective, this riflescope ensures superior light transmission, making it an ideal companion for night-time hunting or shooting. The proprietary Firedot illumination provides a bright, intuitive aiming point, ensuring your target never gets lost in dimly lit environments.

Built around Leupold's Advanced Optical System, the VX-Freedom Riflescope offers exceptional light transmission for extended glassing sessions, best-in-class glare reduction in harsh light, and the resolution and clarity that recreational sportsmen and sportswomen demand.

The 3:1 zoom ratio, a common feature in many scope models, offers three times more magnification at high power than at low power. This allows you to adjust your power down for close encounters or dial it up for long-range shots, making it a versatile tool for any shooting scenario.

The second focal plane design ensures that the reticle stays the same size while the target size adjusts with the magnification. This feature is particularly useful in low-light hunting situations and in scopes that don't utilize hash marks for range estimation.

To ensure durability and longevity, the lenses are hardened with surface coatings to meet extreme military standards in scratch resistance and added lens protection. The riflescope also features Motion Sensor Technology (MST) that extends battery life by automatically deactivating illuminated reticles after five minutes of inactivity and reactivating instantly upon detecting movement.

Leupold's pioneering waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof technology ensures the internals of the optics stay moisture-free and crystal clear for life, even under extreme temperatures, elevation changes, and shocks.

The FireDot Twilight Hunter Illumination, designed specifically for low-light situations, provides a simple aiming point with no distractions. Its thin lines obscure less of the target and image, while the FireDot technology guides your eye to the center of the reticle for quick target acquisition.

Like all Leupold riflescopes, the VX-Freedom 3-9x50mm is designed, machined, and assembled in the USA, guaranteeing a lifetime of reliable performance.
