## Description

desertcart.com : Leupold VX-Freedom 3-9x40 (1 inch) CDS Duplex Reticle Riflescope : Sports & Outdoors

Review: Leupold Quality Without the Big Price Tag - If you want a dependable hunting scope without blowing your budget, the VX-Freedom 3-9×40 hits the sweet spot. The glass is crisp, especially in low light, and the scope holds zero well—even after rough field use. Eye relief is generous, build is rugged, and you get Leupold’s lifetime warranty backing it. It lacks frills like adjustable parallax, but if you’re shooting within 200 yards or less, this thing delivers solid performance for the price.
Review: Dependable Hold Zero Air Gun Rifle Scope - Great Clarity - Rock solid. Contacted Leuplod; their scopes are warrantied for life, will hold up for use on any rifle. They have discontinued the sister scope with parallax adjusted objective. However, you can adjust the parallax range by unthreading the objective ring and backing the lens out counterclockwise (as you are looking down on the objective) to bring the parallax range down from the factory setting of 150 yds to the range you will be shooting. This does not "open" the scope, or void the warranty, and works like a champ. Without making this adjustment, this scope is very sensitive to parallax at ranges under 150 yds and in the 40-23 yd range. Replacing factory air gun scope rings with quality aftermarket rings and lapping them secures this scope and will eliminate the usual issues with these rifles. Hundreds of rounds and still dead on. It's expensive for an air gun scope, but boy has it been worth it.
