Questions & Answers
I just picked up a new Browning BAR MKIII hunter in 30-06 .What Leopold scope mounts would I need to mount this scope to it? Expert Answer

To mount the Leupold VX-Freedom 3-9x50mm Rifle Scope to a Browning BAR I recommend using the Talley Picatinny Base for BAR at the first link below. You will need the 30mm High Rings with Leupold VX-Freedom 3-9x50mm Rifle Scope, and I recommend using the Leupold Rings at the second link below.

What height rings do I need to mount this to a Savage .30-06? Will it hold up to the recoil of a .30-06? Expert Answer

The Leupold VX-Freedom 3-9x50mm Rifle Scope is recoil/shockproof and will have no issues withstanding the recoil from 30-06, as long as you use a quality set of rings. Due to the objective lens size (50mm) high height rings would be the lowest possible height rings you can use. If you have a picatinny scope base, I would recommend the NightForce ULTRALITE 30mm Titanium/Alloy Ring Set, or Warne Mountain Tech 30mm Scope Mount Rings. Both can be found by using the links below. If you have any further questions, feel free to email us at Techsales@opticsplanet.com for further assistance.

Features of Leupold VX-Freedom 3-9x50mm Rifle Scope, 30 mm Tube, Second Focal Plane - SFP

  • 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 hash marks for range estimation.
  • Scratch Resistant Lenses - Hardened surface coatings are added to meet extreme military standards in scratch resistance and added lens protection.
  • Illuminated - This scopes comes with an illuminated reticle, which can help you get on target faster in low-light situations.
  • Motion Sensor Technology (MST) - Motion Sensor Technology (MSTâ„¢) extends battery life by automatically deactivating illuminated reticles after five minutes of inactivity and then reactivates instantly as soon as movement is detected.
  • Waterproof, Fogproof, & Shockproof - 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.
