Leupold VX-Freedom 3-9x33 (1 inch) EFR Airgun Fine Duplex Reticle Riflescope

Have a Huben K1 which sees some heavy use, tried at least 7 scopes. If you care about weight at all, this scope is in a class of its own. It has great light transmission despite a smaller objective lens, adjustable parallax is amazing when you really care about shot placement or are shooting shorter distances, and eye relief appears better than advertised.

Ready for a long story? I have had a Gamo Whisper Fusion .177 for three years. Incredibly accurate, consistent 12-shot groups in a dime at 30 yards. But it has a rare issue; it shoots VERY HIGH. (Most air rifles have the opposite...barrel droop). So any scope I use needs lots of elevation adjustment, even with a riser scope rail. The $100 range, airgun recoil-proof scopes recommended to me have had enough adjustment. They just have not been reliable, and the glass quality is pretty bad. So in the past two months I ordered two different brand "airgun rated" scopes in the $200 plus range, both with decent glass and plenty of elevation adjustment. One brand the crosshairs turned sideways after 12 shots. The second failed to hold zero after around 50 shots. I then ordered what is supposed to be the premier airgun scope: a Hawke Air Max, which boasts of 16 coatings on its lenses. The glass was horrible with "white out" in the ocular lens when outdoors. It went back! So then I really opened up my wallet for this Leupold. But after reading many reviews of quality, good glass, and durability, it didn't really bother me. And that's exactly what I got. This scope is CLEAR! At all powers and all distances! It's like looking through a clean top of the line window. The eyebox is beautiful. No distortion, no "white out", no aberrations. I have become somewhat of a "scope snob" in the last couple years after transitioning my centerfire rifles to Zeiss, Swarvoski, and Nightforce. So I didn't think I would be impressed. But I am!!! From now on, I will be looking at this company for future scope purchases. But here is how this story ends. I neglected to look at the MOA elevation before ordering. It is not posted on the Amazon description. When I received the scope, I checked and it is 64 MOA, which I know will not be enough to compensate for my Gamo's high point of impact. But I love this Leupold Scope so much that I can't bear to return it. Instead, I am selling my beloved Gamo (to a guy who likes open sites) and buying a new air rifle, just so I can keep this fabulous Leupold. Thanks to Cove Creek Outfitters for stocking a great product, and prompt shipping!

I’ve mounted this model scope on multiple rifles over the years. The are quality scopes that hold zero even with the abuse it takes while being on a hunt. Glass is clear and bright. Light transmits through it very well for a clear picture. All around a great value for the money!

It's a great scope for rimfire and pellet guns, and I really like the EFR adjustable objective for fine-tuning focus clarity at specific distances. My only gripe is that Leupold suggests its Alumina flip-up optics covers as an accessory... the Ultralight Eyepiece Cover (59060) fits fine, but the Objective Cover (59035) fits poorly and looks completely "wrong" for the scope. The objective lense is 33mm but, due to the larger size of the adjustable objective's bell housing, the cap screws in properly but its diameter is significantly smaller, making for a poor overall fit. In short, the scope is awesome, but the suggested accessory Alumina lense covers I also purchased were a disaster, as they cost $200 and, due to the packaging being hermetically sealed, you practically need to destroy it to get the sense cap out... at which point you can no longer return it to Optics Planet (the vendor on Amazon). Leupold and all vendors should disclose that the front cover will NOT satisfy most people.

Awesome scope for the money! Great value. I put this scope on a light weight hunting rifle. At 12.1 oz and E.F.R adjustment for distance it’s perfect! Made in the U.S.A makes me feel even better.

Just the right size for Bergara rimfire rifles, Super clear glass. An absolute pleasure to carry and use in the field all day.

Leupold quality in a scope that is excellent for rimfire matches. The adjustable objective is a needed feature for shooting short range targets, like 10m air rifle or 50 foot smallbore/rimfire. Then you can also get excellent focus out to 50 yards and further.

Returned !!! Seller send me used scope with faded body and discoloration! Returned. Scope was not in the plastic bag, factory box was not sealed! EuroOptics... shame on you!
