Drew's Review of Leupold VX-Freedom 1.5-4x20mm Rifle Scope, 1in Tube, Second Focal Plane (SFP)
The good: nobody does small size like Leupold. It is short, trim and light. If you have a need or desire for a small scope, Leupold has got you covered. And the glass is pretty good. There's a lot better glass out there, but this is ok.
The bad: the turret adjustments. Oh they're so bad. Mushy, vague, just blegh. When I start adjusting I'm always wondering "was that a click? Was that pretravel? I don't know!"
The cost cutting: 1) plastic turret caps. Sure they work, and it's not big deal, but it is cheap.2) no lens covers. Where did the nice rubber lens cover Leupold used to include go? Same place Burris hid theirs I guess. Cheapskates. Couldn't have cost them a dollar to make it....... 3) I just called Leupold and was told I was #46 in line to talk to somebody.
Summary: $150 scope glass with $70 scope turrets in a nice form factor with a Leupold markup being sold for $200. If you don't need the small package, I'd buy something else.
Pros:
Size & Weight
Glass is acceptable
Cons:
price
Turrets
Lack of lens cover
Best Used for:
Carbines, compact rifles
Would Recommend:
Yes
