I had real high hopes

This is the scope I wanted it's like an extra $200 for a illuminated reticle scope I'm really bummed that I purchased the one without the light other than that they're decent just above basic don't have too high of hopes but you will be able to see

Don't expect too much

I haven't really used it in the field yet but out of the box I was immediately bummed out when I found out it did not have a lighted radical other than that it has an amazing picture and clarity and it should meet my needs until I'm ready to step up into real scope territory . Because this is just barely above a child's toy for scopes very basic entry level don't expect too much when you purchase this like I did

Excellent scope and a fantastic buy for the money! Good magnification and with the 50MM objective it does well on gathering light for that early morning or later evening shooting opportunity.

Absolutely love the glass as it is as sharp as it gets for a scope in this price range. My only complaint would be I prefer to have the elevation turret with a screw-on cover. Highly recommend this scope and will be switching all my other scopes to Leupold.

Purchased this for a Marlin XT-17. Not horrible but I think I would have preferred the standard 3-9x40 Hunt Plex. I feel the glass is clearer on the Hunt Plex.

I put the scope on

I put the scope on a 45-70 lever action rifle. I want it for short distance and quick view of the target area. So far I have no complaints about the scope but I wish you had an app for reference of drop for different loads and calibers. Unless I can't find the app.

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.

Are you in search of a reliable and versatile riflescope for your mid to long-range shooting needs Look no further than the VX-Freedom 4-12x40mm Riflescope, a matte black marvel that embodies the legendary performance and dependability of Leupold. This lightweight riflescope is designed to enhance your shooting experience, whether you're using it on your trusty hunting rifle or a new addition to your collection.

The VX-Freedom is built around Leupold's Advanced Optical System, a feature that ensures superior light transmission for extended glassing sessions. It also offers best-in-class glare reduction in harsh light, and the resolution and clarity that recreational sportsmen and sportswomen demand.

This riflescope is not just about performance; it's also about durability. It's 100% waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof, designed to withstand extreme temperatures, elevation changes, and shocks. This ensures that the internals of the optics stay moisture-free and crystal clear for life.

The 4-12x40 VX-Freedom Riflescope features a 3:1 Zoom Ratio, a common feature in many scope models. This allows you to dial your power down for close encounters or all the way up for long-range shots, offering three times more magnification at high power than at low power.

The Second Focal Plane design ensures that the reticle stays the same size while the target grows and shrinks when you adjust the magnification. This feature is ideal for lowlight hunting situations and in scopes that don't utilize hash marks for range estimation.

The riflescope also boasts Scratch Resistant Lenses, with hardened surface coatings added to meet extreme military standards in scratch resistance and added lens protection.

The Creedmoor reticle is designed for use with factory 6.5 Creedmoor ammunition, with pre-calculated ballistics that allow for accurate holdovers at maximum magnification. It ensures quick target acquisition with thin lines at the center and specific hold-overs for 300, 400, and 500 yards.

Like all Leupold riflescopes, the VX-Freedom 4-12x40mm is designed, machined, and assembled in the USA and guaranteed for life. It's the perfect blend of performance, versatility, and durability, making it an ideal choice for any rifle in your safe.
