Very Nice Scope

This scope is lights out on the 350 legend . Great clarity for a scope in this price range, nice clicks on adjustment and appears to be well built I've had mine for a little over a year and very well pleased!

Scope is light which is perfect for the Ruger 10/22 Carbon I mounted it on. Glass just as expected, but as a simple person I wish they made it with a normal fine duplex reticle. Only complaint. Reticle is the only reason for 4 star review.

This is my first ever

This is my first ever VX-freedom scope. And the first new Leupold scope that I've purchased in 17 years. Technology and feature trickle-down is a real thing. Compared to my VX-2 that I bought in 2007, this scope is easily just as good as far as optical clarity and quality are concerned and the VX-Freedom is significantly easier for making reticle adjustments. For the price it's tough to imagine anything else out there being a better value than the VX-Freedom series. However, for an entry-level scope it could be beneficial if it had a slightly more forgiving eye relief. I set this up on my young son's rifle and a bigger "sweet spot" on the eye relief would have made it a little easier to get it right with his limited experience in knowing what correct eye relief should look like. I'm still very pleased with the scope and the quality and value that it offers for the price.

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.
