Excellent scope and a fantastic buy for the money! Good magnification and with the 50MM objective it does well on gathering light for that early morning or later evening shooting opportunity.

Haven't mounted it yet. It is extremely clear and I have multiple other leupold scopes. It's the only brand I use.

This scope is a great upgrade to my 10/22. The clarity is unmatched to any of the other rimfire scopes I have and it is very light. I would highly recommend.

My 10-yr. old granddaughter's single shot 350 Legend. Perfect scope for her!

Absolutely love the glass as it is as sharp as it gets for a scope in this price range. My only complaint would be I prefer to have the elevation turret with a screw-on cover. Highly recommend this scope and will be switching all my other scopes to Leupold.

Purchased this for a Marlin XT-17. Not horrible but I think I would have preferred the standard 3-9x40 Hunt Plex. I feel the glass is clearer on the Hunt Plex.

Crystal clear, bright optic that is absolutely precise. Great scope at a great price. Can't say enough about Leupold gear and warranties.

I put the scope on a 45-70 lever action rifle. I want it for short distance and quick view of the target area. So far I have no complaints about the scope but I wish you had an app for reference of drop for different loads and calibers. Unless I can't find the app.

Bought it for my 450, sighted it in several times, it was dead on then I went to shoot it again it was 4 to 6 inches high. It would never stay sighted in. We tried it on another gun and the same issue. Trying to get the scope sent back in to get checked out and customer service isn't the best. Not very impressed with the scope and customer service

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.

Very happy with this scope on a . 22 long rifle

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.

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.
The VX-Freedom 4-12x40mm delivers legendary Leupold performance and dependability in a versatile magnification range that's ideal for mid to longer-range shots. It's also equipped with the Leupold Custom Dial System (CDS), which gives you a customizable ballistics solution at your fingertips. This system is easy to install and even easier to use.
Built around Leupold's Advanced Optical System, the VX-Freedom delivers tried and true light transmission, best in class glare reduction in harsh light, and the resolution and clarity that recreational sportsmen and sportswomen demand.
The VX-Freedom is 100% waterproof and fogproof, and guaranteed to get the job done every time. And like all Leupold riflescopes, it's designed, machined, and assembled in the USA and guaranteed for life.
Features
3:1 Zoom Ratio
A 3:1 zoom ratio is very common in many scope models. It gives you 3 times more magnification at high power than at low power, so you can dial your power down for close encounters or all of the way up for long-range shots.
Custom Dial System Compatible
Leupold's Custom Dial System (CDS) gives you the ability to customize your turret (adjustment dial) to your exact ballistics and environmental conditions. Once your new custom dial is installed, simply range the target, turn the dial to that number, and aim dead on.
Lockable Eyepiece
A traditional eyepiece lock ring allows you to lock in a focus setting that is best for your eye.
Lightweight Aluminum Housing
Aluminum offers excellent durability and ruggedness without adding unnecessary weight.
Advanced Optical System
Leupold's Advanced Optical System offers tried and true light transmission for extended glassing sessions, best in class glare reduction in harsh light, and the resolution and clarity that recreational sportsmen and sportswomen demand.
Scratch Resistant Lenses
Hardened surface coatings are added to meet extreme military standards in scratch resistance and added lens protection.
Zero Stop
The ZeroStop system creates a backstop when returning the dial back to zero, so you don't accidently turn the dial a full revolution in the wrong direction.
Waterproof, Fogproof & Shockproof
Leupold pioneered modern waterproof and fogproof technology using advanced internal gasses and sealing methods that withstand extreme temperatures, elevation changes, and shocks, so the internals of the optics stay moisture free and crystal clear for life.
