What is the difference between Leupold freedom series and a VXII? Just window shopping now but there is not much of a price difference. Did the freedom series replace the VXI and VXII series?

... I stopped tracking what they did a long time ago, really feel like they are behind the times in every way. -
Behind in what aspects?Originally posted by catslayer View Post
OP- I believe they did replaced both the VX1 and VX2 lines while keeping VX2 glass. So it’ll be a step down from the VX3Comment

I don't really want to drop the coin on a VX3 for my kids just yet. I am headed to Academy this afternoon so I can take a look through it and see what it looks like.Comment

Agreed with the reticle and turret options in the higher end scopes. But they don’t cut corners with quality to add more features for a low price like some others that rhyme with vortex. Haha.Originally posted by catslayer View Post
Op that’s their new entry level scope.Comment

I just got one in the 4x12x40 glass is really nice on par with the vx2Comment

Yes the freedom replaced their VXI. Just like the rest of leupold products, very solid, reliable, and American made

I find the Freedom better in some respects than the VX3i. I can’t attest to their long term durabilty yet but the features, low light, and clarity are awesome!
Haters will be haters.
How can made in USA and quality be a bad thing?

I like the Freedoms. They have a larger eyebox, more useful adjustment knob, and great glass.Comment

Glass quality at price points,features at given price pounts, only company with higher ratio of reticles I really don't like is Tangent theta (I like 0% of TT'S reticles)... generally pushing 0 envelopes or really listening to shooters.Originally posted by 150class View Post
They used to be the go to IMHO... And now... Ehh, significantly more bang for your buck at every price point from one company or another... Heck used to be know for incredible warranty and customer service and I've heard things that make me doubt things about that now... Several others that I think are doing a better jobLast edited by catslayer; 07-23-2018, 08:35 PM.Comment

I got an American made t.urd... Want to buy it over anything? Make you a great dealOriginally posted by Voodoo View Post
I'm a FREE MARKET believer,MAKE BETTER PRODUCT. or cheaper product, and sell it cheaper. Or otherwise figure out how to interest me. I'm going to buy quality I need first, what I get the most for my $$$ from second, what I like 3rd. If all those equal, I'll look if American made. Nothing bad about it, but it's marketing and nothing more.
Don't HATE the Scopes just don't think they are what they once were. I'd take them over a lot of brands, but it isn't a GIVEN like it once wasComment

I still like Leupolds, but what other brands and recommendations would you have in the same price range as a Freedom? I am open to options.Originally posted by catslayer View PostComment

You wont find too many other companies though with the customer service like Leupold. They have replaced a pair of binoculars and a scope for me free of charge, no questions and Fast. The binocular eyepiece broke and instead of replacing, they sent me a brand new pair of upgraded Binoculars. Had a cheaper Leupold scope, and they did the same thing with it and the reason it messed up was 100% my fault.Last edited by Fmjag64; 07-24-2018, 07:22 AM.Comment

Interesting comments from some of you guys but to answer this question...Originally posted by flyinstroke View Post
There is nothing in the same price range that compares to the freedom based on my current experience with them.Comment
