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.

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.
