This may be the Leupold

This may be the Leupold scope that gives you the most bang for your buck. I'd prefer it with a 40mm objective but it's not available in that configuration.

Not a good scope

I bought this scope online from Cabela's and it was not a good experience. I put the scope on my 45-70 Marlin and when zeroing it in, the scope ran out of elevation to adjust. That was the first that ever happened to me when I put on a lot of Leupold scopes before but none with the plastic dial adjustment. I even changed out scope rings to see if that would fix it, but it didn't. I returned the scope to Cabela's and I was told by the workers there that this scope has had a lot of issues and they took back 2 in the last week. The worker also told me that Leupold started putting plastic internals in the scope and that's where issues arise. But paying 300 dollars for a scope that doesn't work and hearing that the manufacturer is now skimping on parts is not a good look.

Good scope for the money

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.

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.
