\"New<\/a>During the 2018 NRA Show in Dallas, Texas, Leupold announced six new models of their VX-Freedom line of scopes.\u00a0 Here\u2019s a quick rundown of what you should know:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n
      \n
    1. The VX- Freedom line is replacing both the VX-1 and VX-2 line of scopes.<\/li>\n
    2. Leupold has figured out how to streamline the manufacturing process and you are essentially getting VX-2 quality at a VX-1 price.<\/li>\n
    3. All of the scopes in the new VX-Freedom line are under $400.<\/li>\n
    4. All of the VX-Freedom scopes are made in Oregon, USA.<\/li>\n
    5. The rimfire and air rifle\u00a0models are bi-directional recoil tested.<\/li>\n
    6. The recoil rating on the VX-Freedom scopes surpasses the recoil signature of a non-braked .458 Lott rifle weighing less than 8lbs.<\/li>\n
    7. Turrets are tighter and more positive.<\/li>\n
    8. All of the scopes feature Leupold\u2019s proprietary Twilight Light Management System which has the effect of enhancing red\u2019s and blues, thus increasing low light capabilities.<\/li>\n
    9. All of the Freedom scopes use one-inch scope rings.<\/li>\n
    10. The options in the Freedom lineup are extensive. A few notables are a Scout scope, an Extended Focus Range scope (ideal for airguns and rimfires), a scope featuring an AR Ballistic reticle, a CDS option, a .450 Bushmaster scope, and that\u2019s just to name a few.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      \n      \"New<\/a><\/p>\n

      Also new from Leupold is a scope that is specifically designed for NRA Highpower competition and CMP service rifle. It\u2019s called the Service Rifle Optic and it\u2019s a 1-4.5 power scope deliberately created to meet the rule requirements of NRA Highpower.\u00a0 It has the same specifications as a VX-5HD. It features a 30mm tube. Both illuminated and non-illuminated models are available.\"New<\/a><\/p>\n

      From Leupold:<\/p>\n

      \u201cWhen the High Power Service Rifle competitions announced that they\u2019d be allowing the use of riflescopes \u2013 with a 4.5 magnification maximum \u2013 consumers immediately turned to us for a solution,\u201d said Vici Peters, product line manager for Leupold & Stevens, Inc. \u201cThe VX-4.5HD delivers everything a Service Rifle competitor could want out of their optic, and is available with reticles that have been built to drive winning scores.\u201d<\/p>\n

      Those reticles are the Bull-Ring Post and the FireDot Bull-Ring, which is illuminated. Both have been designed to serve the needs of Service Rifle shooters \u2013 at 4.5 power, the Bull-Ring will nearly be identical in size to the target\u2019s bullseye. As the magnification is turned down, the white ring around the bullseye can be adjusted to help perfectly center your aim. The illumination setting on the FireDot Bull-Ring features MST (Motion Sensor Technology) that automatically deactivates the illumination after five minutes of inactivity, and reactivates it instantly as soon as movement is detected.<\/p>\n

      The VX-4.5HD is designed to outperform and outlast the competition \u2013 in more ways than one. Its Guard-Ion rain shedding coating is scratch resistant and is meant to ensure that water, dirt, and fingerprints don\u2019t ruin your score. It also features Leupold\u2019s proprietary Twilight Max HD Light Management System, which combines exceptional light transmission and glare management to provide vivid, bright, high-contrast images that will deliver relentless optical performance in low-light conditions. It also eliminates the washed-out image that can come from direct sunlight. The feature-packed VX-4.5HD is designed, machined, and assembled in the United States and backed by Leupold\u2019s Full Lifetime Guarantee.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\"New<\/a>\"New<\/a>\n

Outside the courtroom and off the range, True is a true western outdoorsman. A lifelong hunter and rancher, he rides and hunts off his own string of horses and pack animals, chasing elk, mule deer, wolves, coyotes, and anything else in season. He\u2019s a longtime reloader, producing both precision rifle ammo and, back in the day, handloading over 40,000 rounds of 9mm and 5.56 annually for competition. He\u2019s also a thermal and night vision expert, known for his obsession with high-end optics, and is rarely found without a camera or a guitar nearby. Whether he\u2019s glassing a distant ridge, reviewing cutting-edge gear, or deep in legal research, True brings passion, precision, and grit to everything he does.
