Fast, Light Deer Rifle Scope: Leupold VX-Freedom 1.5-4x20 MOA-Ring

Deer hunting is a 100-yard-or-less game for most of us. Small woodlots, thick swamps, timber cuts and public land are where we often chase whitetails that see a lot of hunting pressure. So we don’t need massive optics weighing down some hefty long-range rifle. We need a lightweight scope that is quick to the eye and on target fast — which is exactly what the Leupold VX-Freedom 1.5-4×20 MOA-Ring Riflescope is made for. Keep it on the 1.5X for fast target acquisition or dial it up to 4X when you need it to settle in on a buck that’s a ways out there.

At only a scant 9.6 oz., this optic will sit perfectly atop your favorite, nimble lever gun, pump rifle, bolt action or semi-auto carbine without weighing it down. Yet, its high-quality, domestic, aerospace-grade 6061-T6 aluminum construction gives it maximum strength and durability to handle anything your hunts can throw at it. The 1.5-4×20 is also design to be waterproof, fogproof and shockproof to face down whatever Mother Nature has in store during deer season. Leupold pioneered modern waterproof and fogproof technology using advanced internal gasses 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.

The glass is where it really matters, and designed and 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. Plus, Leupold’s hardened surface coatings are added to meet extreme military standards in scratch resistance and added lens protection for the VX-Freedom.

The MOA-Ring reticle precisely complements the scope’s quick and light pedigree, and features a large outer ring designed for aiming at fast moving, close targets; tick marks below center with 5 MOA spacing for ballistic corrections; an open center with bold, tapered pickets for low-light conditions; and a horizontal line with lead markers for moving targets when at low power. Arrows indicate the direction of movement while the markers represent 10 mph and 20 mph.
