Clear picture. Tough. Camped for a week and drove on rough roads. Stayed accurate while bouncing around the cab.

Exactly what I needed for a Grendel project. One of many Leupold products that I own.

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 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.

I have two of the VX-Freedom 3-9X40 350 Legend and I love them so needless to say I got one for my 450. Of course it's a Leupold so it works amazing. Definitely recommend them!

Awesome short range scope. Fits perfect on my 45-70 to add just a little extra range for it. Very clear glass with good light.

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.

Crystal clear optic that provides excellent zoom. Easy to dial in the scope and zoom in and out. And the eye relief is very good, I have had no worries about hitting myself in the eye when shooting.

Mounted to my SOCOM 16 and very much enjoying it. The long eye relief is perfect for the forward mount setup.

Excellent scope for the money. The 50mm objective lens gives me more light collection and really helps during low light situations. Leupold does an awesome job with the VX Freedom lineup and provides great bang for the buck!

Only complaint is eye relief, and no focus adjustment. I would buy it again but I wouldn't put it on anything other than a rimfire.

Great scope. Mounted to my 30/30. Zeroed quickly. Would recommend.

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.
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.
