I mounted and sighted it in with ease. Great muzzleloader scope. Very good eye relief and clarity. Both shots I took were dead on during a very cold late season.

Exceeded Expectations

I was very impressed with the quality of glass on this inexpensive scope. The optical clarity was clear edge to edge through the entire magnification range, and the eye box surprisingly forgiving. The reticle is one of the best available for scopes of this form factor. The elevation turret was crisp and tracked appropriately to the corrections however I wish there was more markings than just 0-3-6-9-12, making quick adjustments slightly easier than really having to pay attention to the dial. My other gripe is the lack of a hash mark for the windage turret to show reference to the adjustments being made. I know once the windage is set it will be capped and not used often, but I had to use the lines of my scope rings to have a clear marker of the starting/stopping point of the adjustments. I plan to shoot several different loads through this rifle, having recorded zero corrections, a hashmark to verify appropirate corrections would be very useful. Overall this scope surpassed my expectations and I would take this over other optics like Vortex or Maven in the price range. Several small changes could really make this a perfect 5/5 for the price.

Close to perfect?. .

The only trim, lightweight, sensible hunting scope left! I have one right now and hope to get a few more. Great eye relief ( both critical and non critical), perfect sized and actually useful dimensions, very clear; just really nothing like this 2-7x33 out there, anymore. The size of the eyepiece aids in low mounting, plenty of light transmission and clarity. Makes a decent replacement for the missing M8/FX 4x33 fixed power. Only negatives are the zoom ring is to large and aggressive, I much prefer the VX-1 and VX-2 zoom rings, and wish the windage and elevation housing was much less boxy and more rounded, like the VX-1/VX-2. Please don't ever discontinue this 2-7x33, Leupold!

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.

Take your shooting precision to the next level with the high-quality 3-9x40 VX-Freedom Riflescope, a top-tier product in the realm of hunting and target shooting equipment. This matte black riflescope, featuring a second focal plane 350 Legend Duplex Reticle and a 1" tube, is a testament to Leupold's commitment to delivering durable, reliable, and versatile optics.

Designed to complement the increasingly popular .350 round, this riflescope is equipped with a pre-calibrated dial that aligns perfectly with the .350's ballistics. Whether you're aiming for a 200-yard shot or a close encounter, simply adjust the dial, hold dead on, and fire with confidence.

The VX-Freedom Riflescope is built around Leupold's Advanced Optical System, ensuring exceptional light transmission, superior glare reduction in harsh light, and the resolution and clarity that modern sportsmen and sportswomen demand. The second focal plane reticle, ideal for low-light hunting situations, maintains its size while the target adjusts with the magnification, allowing for precise aiming at long distances.

The riflescope also features a 3:1 zoom ratio, a common feature in many scope models, providing three times more magnification at high power than at low power. This enables you to adjust your power for different shooting scenarios. Leupold's Custom Dial System (CDS) allows you to customize your turret to your exact ballistics and environmental conditions, enhancing your shooting accuracy.

The VX-Freedom Riflescope is 100% waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof, ensuring optimal performance in various conditions. Its lenses are scratch-resistant, meeting extreme military standards for added protection. The Duplex reticle, invented by Leupold in 1962, is defined by heavy posts that stand out against cover in low light, facilitating quick target acquisition with thin lines at the center.

Like all Leupold riflescopes, the 3-9x40 VX-Freedom Riflescope is designed, machined, and assembled in the USA, guaranteeing a product that will deliver every time. Experience the difference of a Leupold riflescope and elevate your shooting prowess.
