Mounted on my M-1 Garand. Needs another 1/2 inch or so of eye relief to work properly at full magnification. Probably going to move this scope to my . 30-30, and look for something else for the Garand.

The BDC reticle is kinda useless. I have better than 20/20 vision and it's next to impossible to see Works great on my Henry Frontier model

The scope will not focus properly. 25yds and beyond forget it. Stays fuzzy. She's never crisp. Never. Played with the reticle. Nope. Didn't help. Couldn't get a crisp crosshair. 20+ rounds fired through rifle. Other individuals couldn't get a good crisp outline. Not Happy. My Leupold 3-9x40 is fabulous. Make me happy Leupold.

Nice, clear glass. Just what I needed for mid range shooting/hunting with . 308win.

I have two of these, one on a 350 legend and another on a 6. 5 creedmore. Both lightweight builds for walking the woods in Michigan and these are consistently better than any other optic I've ever owned. Never an issue in low light, always able to see through the optic what I can with my eyes

It is the best all-around scope for hunting in the mountains, love the eye relief, lens clarity and darn right. . . . . . . . American Made

The eye relief was a little on the long side?

Great scope. I have tried other brands but I always end up going back to Leupold. I think its the best bang for your buck. Clear glass, perfect tracking? couldn't ask for anything more. Except 1 thing, bring back your handgun scopes.

I love this scope. Low light capabilities coupled with the firedot are a deadly combination. Simple yet super effective hunting scope.

My recently purchased VX Freedom is an excellent optic, after carefully mounting it I fired my . 270 once, made an adustment, fired the second round and made an adjustment , the next two rounds were dime size in the bullseye at 100 yards, point being the inner workings the adjustment turret are spot on. Now in personal opinion Luepold is the best, hands down. . . Andrew.

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.

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.
Because precision and reliability are paramount when it comes to hunting or target shooting, the 3-9x40 VX-Freedom Riflescope, in a sleek matte black finish, is an exceptional choice for both novice and experienced shooters. This high-quality riflescope, manufactured by the reputable Leupold, is designed with a second focal plane Hunt-Plex reticle, enhancing your accuracy in ranging and bullet drop compensation.
This versatile riflescope is equipped with a 3:1 zoom ratio, a common feature in many scope models, allowing you to adjust your magnification power according to your needs. Whether you're engaging in close encounters or preparing for long-range shots, this riflescope can adapt to your requirements.
The VX-Freedom Riflescope is built around Leupold's Advanced Optical System, renowned for its superior light transmission capabilities. This system ensures extended glassing sessions, best-in-class glare reduction in harsh light, and the resolution and clarity that recreational sportsmen and sportswomen demand.
Constructed to withstand the elements, this durable riflescope is 100% waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof. Leupold's pioneering technology uses advanced internal gasses and sealing methods to resist extreme temperatures, elevation changes, and shocks. This ensures the optics remain moisture-free and crystal clear for life, providing you with a reliable tool for your hunting or shooting adventures.
The Hunt-Plex reticle features bold, tapered pickets with an open center, making it easy to find your aiming point in low-light conditions. The fine line center is designed for precision aiming at long distances or small targets. The top line tapers downward slightly with no picket, keeping the field of view clear and supporting precision aiming and low-light visibility.
Finally, the subtension and magnification of the Hunt-Plex will measure correctly when the riflescope is set to the highest available magnification. The reticle's apparent size in the field of view may vary between models of riflescope.
In conclusion, the 3-9x40 VX-Freedom Riflescope is a testament to Leupold's commitment to producing reliable, accurate, and high-quality optics for all your hunting and shooting needs.
