This may be the Leupold scope that gives you the most bang for your buck. I'd prefer it with a 40mm objective but it's not available in that configuration.

Not a good scope

I bought this scope online from Cabela's and it was not a good experience. I put the scope on my 45-70 Marlin and when zeroing it in, the scope ran out of elevation to adjust. That was the first that ever happened to me when I put on a lot of Leupold scopes before but none with the plastic dial adjustment. I even changed out scope rings to see if that would fix it, but it didn't. I returned the scope to Cabela's and I was told by the workers there that this scope has had a lot of issues and they took back 2 in the last week. The worker also told me that Leupold started putting plastic internals in the scope and that's where issues arise. But paying 300 dollars for a scope that doesn't work and hearing that the manufacturer is now skimping on parts is not a good look.

Good scope for the money

I've actually really liked this scope, it's light, good adjustments and pretty clear glass. The subtensions work for my 7mm-08 spot on. What would really take this scope up a notch is instead of holdover dots, do lines with a windage mark as well. i. e. your 400 mark would be 4. 8moa elevation and a 1. 9moa windage mark.

Mounted very easily. Very clear glass and excellent craftsmanship. Very comparable, in my opinion, to VX and VARI-X models. Mounted on an Encore . 458 Win. No problems what-so-ever. Great product.

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.
