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.

I purchased this as a budget option that still possessed the CDS Duplex. As such, the optic meets every expectation. All performance measures are in line with Leupold quality and price point. The only complaint, and the reason for four versus five stars is the lack of positive click adjustments in the windage turret. It just isn't as crisp as I would like, and it is easy to over/under adjust as a result. Overall, a great value for features, but if your expectations of finishes is higher, go for the VX-3HD.

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.

With the VX-Freedom 3-9x33mm EFR Riflescope, you can elevate your shooting experience, whether it's for training, sport, or leisure. This matte black riflescope, designed specifically for rimfire or air rifle shooting, is equipped with an external focus ring that allows for incredibly close focusing, making it the perfect small-caliber optic.

The VX-Freedom series is renowned for delivering the legendary Leupold performance and dependability that hunters and shooters have trusted for decades. This model comes with an array of new and improved features, ensuring it gets the job done every time.

The riflescope features an easy-to-grip power selector, allowing for quick magnification changes. It has been Punisher Tested, surviving 5,000 impacts on Leupold's recoil simulation machine, ensuring its durability and performance even under extreme use.

The Rear Focal Plane (RFP) design ensures the reticles remain fine and minimally cover the target at high power, with subtensions changing with zoom for tuning of ballistic reticles. Its ultra-lightweight design disperses recoil energy, providing unrivaled durability and performance.

The versatile 3:1 zoom ratio erector system is ideal for a wide range of situations. The 1/4 MOA precision finger click adjustments for windage and elevation offer absolute repeatability and dependability.

The riflescope is waterproof and fogproof, ensuring it's ready to perform in all field conditions. Its ultra-lightweight 1-inch maintube provides weight savings, durability, and a classic look.

The Twilight Light Management System allows you to see more in less light, adding up to 10 extra minutes of shooting light and eliminating 80% more glare-producing stray light than competitors, ensuring premium lens clarity.

The lenses are scratch-resistant, offering extreme military-standard protection. The fine duplex reticle, inspired by the Leupold designed Duplex, features thinner posts and crosshairs for precision shots and easier small target acquisition.

The Extended Focus Ring (EFR) allows you to adjust parallax as close as 10 meters and out to infinity, providing a comprehensive shooting experience. With the 3-9x33 VX-Freedom Series EFR Riflescope, you're not just buying a product, you're investing in a legacy of performance and dependability.
