For this end of the

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!

Took my new scope on

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

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.

This is a GREAT scope!

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.

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.

A high-performance optical tool, the 4-12x50 VX-Freedom Riflescope in matte black is a testament to Leupold's legendary reliability and precision. This versatile riflescope is perfect for mid to long-range shots, thanks to its adjustable magnification range. Its larger 50mm objective lens ensures a brighter, clearer image, making it a standout choice for outdoor enthusiasts and sportsmen.

Equipped with the Leupold Custom Dial System (CDS), this riflescope offers a tailored ballistics solution right at your fingertips. This user-friendly system is simple to install and even simpler to use, making it a valuable addition for any shooter.

The VX-Freedom Riflescope is built around Leupold's Advanced Optical System, delivering superior light transmission, unrivaled glare reduction in harsh light, and the resolution and clarity that sportsmen demand. This riflescope is 100% waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof, ensuring consistent performance in all conditions.

The 3:1 zoom ratio, a common feature in many scope models, allows you to adjust your magnification based on your needs. Dial down for close encounters or crank it up for long-range shots. The Custom Dial System compatibility allows you to customize your turret to your exact ballistics and environmental conditions. Once your custom dial is installed, simply range the target, turn the dial to that number, and aim with precision.

The lockable eyepiece ensures a focus setting that is tailored to your eye, while the lightweight aluminum housing provides durability without adding unnecessary weight. The Advanced Optical System offers extended glassing sessions, best in class glare reduction, and the resolution and clarity that recreational sportsmen demand.

The lenses are scratch-resistant, with hardened surface coatings that meet extreme military standards for added lens protection. The riflescope is also waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof, with advanced internal gasses and sealing methods that withstand extreme temperatures, elevation changes, and shocks.

The second focal plane duplex reticle, invented by Leupold in 1962, is defined by heavy posts that stand out against cover in low light. This allows for quick target acquisition with thin lines at the center, making it the most popular reticle in the world.

Like all Leupold riflescopes, the 4-12x50 VX-Freedom Riflescope is designed, machined, and assembled in the USA and guaranteed for life, ensuring you have a reliable tool for all your shooting needs.
