Leupold & Stevens, Inc., has announced the addition of six new models to its VX-Freedom line of riflescopes. The arrival of the new models comes less than a year after the introduction of the VX-Freedom line of entry-level riflescopes, designed for the hunter seeking elite optical performance at a budget-friendly price.

The new additions will feature two models ideal for AR/MSR platforms; a 1.5-4x20 with AR-Ballistic reticle and a 3-9x40 with Tactical Milling Reticle (TMR). Also added to the lineup is an Extended Eye Relief 1.5-4x28 Scout scope, and a close focus Extended Focus Range (EFR) 3-9x33 with Fine Duplex reticle, which is ideal for rimfires and airguns. Rounding out the new offerings are a 3-9x40 featuring Leupold’s Custom Dial System (CDS) and a 3-9x40 .450 Bushmaster model.

 “The VX-Freedom line was designed to deliver the versatility and performance that hunters and shooters expect from the Leupold brand, at a tremendous value,” said Tim Lesser, Vice President of Product Development for Leupold & Stevens, Inc. “We knew that, after getting a look at the VX-Freedom series, consumers would demand the same relentless value and performance from AR and Scout specific models, and we are excited that we’re able to deliver what they’ve been asking for.”

The entire VX-Freedom lineup features the company’s Twilight Light Management System, which helps achieve less glare and higher performance in low-light conditions, giving hunters the opportunity to make the most of their day afield from first to last light. Along with being waterproof and fogproof, the VX-Freedom’s military-spec outer lens surfaces are scratch resistant, offering protection in all hunting conditions.

Review: Winchester 400 Legend

Winchester’s new 400 Legend is a streamlined, mid-sized straight-wall cartridge intended to fill the gap between its wildly popular 350 Legend and the notorious 450 Bushmaster. It is—in our opinion—a masterstroke of genius.
