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.

Brightness and image clarity are very good, only issue is how much the eye relief changes between 4 and 12 power.

Put this on a Marlin lever action in . 357. Perfect little set up. Great glass as usual from Leupold

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.

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.

As always, Leupold glass is clear, gathers plenty of light, and the most lightweight on the market

I purchased this scope to mount on lever action rifle and it did not disappoint. Rugged housing, great glass, and above average light transmission makes this a great optic.

This is a great scope for the money and highly recommend it to anyone looking to outfit a . 22 rifle. I would love to see an illuminated version!

Haven't got to use it much other than to sight in my rifle. I have it sitting on a 338 win mag. Nice clear glass and looks great on the rifle.

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.

Always preferred Leopold scopes/glass over other high end scopes. Even though priced moderately, Leopold didn't skimp on the quality/craftsmanship with this scope. I highly recommend it. Great scope, excellent glass and clarity.

Great scope! Adjustments always hold true. I "ran the square " when new & both weather extremes. Rock solid construction. Return to Zero is dependable, . 22rf & . 22mag!

Excellent quality

It was OK. I don't like things that are "OK" so I returned it. I took a chance and thought that it might be above its pay grade, but to me it was right at its pay grade. At this time in my life, I am fortunate enough to be able to pay a little more and get a little more. That's my honest review.

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!

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 ...

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.
