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.

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 (model magnification ranges are available in powers of 3x: 1.5-5, 2.5-8, 3-9, 3.5-10, etc.), so you can dial your power down for close encounters or all of the way up for long-range shots.

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.

Second Focal Plane

In Second Focal Plane (rear focal plane) scopes, the reticle stays the same size while the target grows and shrinks when you adjust the magnification. These reticles are ideal for lowlight hunting situations and in scopes that don't utilize marks for range estimation.

Zero Stop

The ZeroStop system creates a backstop when returning the dial back to zero, so you don't accidentally turn the dial a full revolution in the wrong direction.

Scratch-Resistant Lenses

Hardened surface coatings are added to meet extreme military standards in scratch resistance and added lens protection.

Lockable Eyepiece

A traditional eyepiece lock ring allows you to lock in a focus setting that is best for your eye.

Waterproof, Fogproof, & Shockproof

Leupold pioneered modern waterproof and fogproof technology using advanced internal gases 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.
