Scope came in a timely manner. Scope glass clear with no distortion. Power adjustment ring turned smoothly. Basically what I would except from Leopold. They continue to make a great product. I've been using them for over twenty years and have always find the product living up to my exceptions.

For this end of the Leupold line up this is a fine scope. I have owned a Vari X iii 1. 5-5x for years and would have bought another if still produced. This is nice too. Well worth the price. I like that it isn't overly modernized in outward appearance. The zoom ring is a bit modern but functional. It's hard to find a sporting scope that isn't three quarters a tactical timmy scope that looks out of place on older classic rifles. Sometimes less is more!

I have always used leupold bases and scopes. This scope was a great addition to my son's ruger 10/22.

Clear picture. Tough. Camped for a week and drove on rough roads. Stayed accurate while bouncing around the cab.

Exactly what I needed for a Grendel project. One of many Leupold products that I own.

Took my new scope on a bear hunt to Alaska. Long story short, after I fell 40 feet off a cliff and my scope hit slate rock on the fall, my scope still held a perfect zero and I took a huge Black Bear with my . 300 Win Mag. These scopes are tough! Even with rain, cold and falling from a cliff? the scope was clear and held zero perfectly! Well Done!

I own several rifles that are set up for Scout scopes, and as such have purchased a number of IER optics over the last 20 years. In that time the Leupolds have always been the top of the top of the heap for brightness, build quality, field of view, and light weight. I purchased this one to replace a perfectly functional scope from a competing brand because I didn't trust it to come to Africa. This scope, mounted to a sporterized Mauser, made the trip just fine. Only note; every set up is different, but at 4x an additional inch of eye relief would be nice.

I have two of the VX-Freedom 3-9X40 350 Legend and I love them so needless to say I got one for my 450. Of course it's a Leupold so it works amazing. Definitely recommend them!

Awesome short range scope. Fits perfect on my 45-70 to add just a little extra range for it. Very clear glass with good light.

Awesome optic

This is a GREAT scope! It's light weight, simple, and the glass is very clear. When I mounted it, I took 1 shot at 25 yards, 1 at 50, 1 at 100, and 1 at 200. We had 1 inch target stickers on the 200 yard gong. I handed it to my 15 year old nephew and he shot every sticker off the target, 1 round each. He warned me that he'll be stealing it soon. I don't blame him.

Crystal clear optic that provides excellent zoom. Easy to dial in the scope and zoom in and out. And the eye relief is very good, I have had no worries about hitting myself in the eye when shooting.

Mounted to my SOCOM 16 and very much enjoying it. The long eye relief is perfect for the forward mount setup.

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.
