My friend Barry a retired police officer strongly suggested this scope for my Winchester Xpert rifle in 21 Sharp. Leupold makes a great product and the warranty is exceptional in todays market. Mounted this rifle and even though its a 21 Sharp with low recoil its spot on.

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!

Mounted on my M-1 Garand. Needs another 1/2 inch or so of eye relief to work properly at full magnification. Probably going to move this scope to my . 30-30, and look for something else for the Garand.

The BDC reticle is kinda useless. I have better than 20/20 vision and it's next to impossible to see Works great on my Henry Frontier model

The scope will not focus properly. 25yds and beyond forget it. Stays fuzzy. She's never crisp. Never. Played with the reticle. Nope. Didn't help. Couldn't get a crisp crosshair. 20+ rounds fired through rifle. Other individuals couldn't get a good crisp outline. Not Happy. My Leupold 3-9x40 is fabulous. Make me happy Leupold.

Nice, clear glass. Just what I needed for mid range shooting/hunting with . 308win.

I have two of these, one on a 350 legend and another on a 6. 5 creedmore. Both lightweight builds for walking the woods in Michigan and these are consistently better than any other optic I've ever owned. Never an issue in low light, always able to see through the optic what I can with my eyes

The eye relief was a little on the long side?

Great scope. I have tried other brands but I always end up going back to Leupold. I think its the best bang for your buck. Clear glass, perfect tracking? couldn't ask for anything more. Except 1 thing, bring back your handgun scopes.

I love this scope. Low light capabilities coupled with the firedot are a deadly combination. Simple yet super effective hunting scope.

My recently purchased VX Freedom is an excellent optic, after carefully mounting it I fired my . 270 once, made an adustment, fired the second round and made an adjustment , the next two rounds were dime size in the bullseye at 100 yards, point being the inner workings the adjustment turret are spot on. Now in personal opinion Luepold is the best, hands down. . . Andrew.

I have 2 of these pig plex scopes. 1 on a Marlin 1895 45/70. The other is on a Ruger Hawkeye . 358 Winchester. I can shoot sub moa groups with both rifles at 100 yards. It is great for snap shooting as it is a very fast target acquisition scope.

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.
