Fantastic scope

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.

I got this for my father in law for his model 700 in 308. He had a Nikon on it but wanted a better scope. This was a great upgrade in scopes. It's super clear and he's shooting a lot better with just changing scopes. This is a great scope for the cost.

I have 3 different 10/22s adorned with this scope. I love its compact size and light weight combined with parallax adjustment. If it had a side focus, I'd probably own 5 or 6 of them. (Hint Hint)

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.

Become an adept marksman with the precision and reliability of the 4-12x40 VX-Freedom Riflescope from Leupold. This high-quality optic is engineered for hunters and target shooters who demand versatility and accuracy for mid to long-range engagements. The matte black finish provides a sleek, professional look while ensuring minimal reflection.

The riflescope features a second focal plane Duplex reticle, a design pioneered by Leupold in 1962, which offers quick target acquisition through its heavy posts that stand out against cover in low light, and fine lines at the center for precise aiming. This reticle remains consistently sized throughout the magnification range, providing more accurate aiming and ranging at varying distances.

Equipped with Leupold's Custom Dial System (CDS), this riflescope allows for on-the-fly ballistic adjustments. The CDS is user-friendly and can be easily installed, enabling shooters to range their target, adjust the dial to the corresponding distance, and engage with confidence.

The VX-Freedom is built around Leupold's Advanced Optical System, which ensures exceptional light transmission, superior glare reduction in harsh lighting conditions, and crystal-clear resolution. The 3:1 zoom ratio is perfect for a wide range of situations, allowing you to dial down for closer shots or increase magnification for those longer-range opportunities.

Crafted with an ergonomic design, the riflescope is both lightweight and durable, thanks to its aluminum housing. This rugged construction is complemented by scratch-resistant lenses that meet stringent military standards, ensuring your optic remains in top condition even in the most challenging environments.

Leupold's commitment to reliability is evident in the riflescope's ZeroStop feature, which prevents over-rotation when returning to zero, and its waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof capabilities. These features guarantee that the VX-Freedom will perform flawlessly in all weather conditions and terrains.

As with all Leupold riflescopes, the 4-12x40 VX-Freedom is designed, machined, and assembled in the USA, reflecting the brand's dedication to quality and craftsmanship. Enhance your shooting experience with an optic that delivers performance, durability, and value, all backed by a lifetime guarantee.
