Leupold VX-Freedom 3-9x40 350 Legend

• Pre-calibrated .350 Legend dial: the elevation dial is set up around .350 Legend ballistics, so holdover becomes faster and simpler for typical hunting distances.
• 3-9x magnification range: low power stays practical for closer shots in woodland or broken terrain, while 9x gives enough precision for careful placement farther out.
• 40 mm objective with fully multicoated lenses: this combination helps maintain a bright, usable image and good contrast in the low-light periods when game is often active.
• Duplex reticle in the second focal plane: the familiar reticle remains easy to see against varied backgrounds, and its appearance stays consistent as magnification changes.
• Lightweight 1-inch build: at 346.00 g with a 25.4 mm tube, the scope keeps a hunting rifle trim, well-balanced, and easy to carry all day.

About the Leupold VX-Freedom Series

Leupold VX-Freedom is a modern hunting riflescope series introduced in 2018 as an accessible entry point into Leupold’s core sporting optics range. It was developed for hunters and recreational shooters who want a straightforward, dependable scope without moving into heavier or more specialized tactical designs. The series covers rimfire, muzzleloader, and centerfire applications, which makes it one of the broadest hunting-focused families in the Leupold lineup.

A defining feature of the series is the Twilight Light Management System, which is intended to control glare and support visibility in the low-light periods when game is often moving. VX-Freedom models are also built around a practical field-use philosophy: compact proportions, familiar controls, and the weather resistance expected from a working hunting optic. Depending on the model, the range includes traditional reticle options as well as versions with Custom Dial System features for more direct distance compensation. Across the line, the emphasis stays on clear optics, manageable weight, and rugged construction for stalking, stand hunting, and general-purpose rifle use.

About the Leupold VX-Freedom 3-9x40 350 Legend

The Leupold VX-Freedom 3-9x40 350 Legend is a hunting riflescope built specifically around the needs of shooters using the .350 Legend cartridge. Its defining feature is the pre-calibrated elevation dial, which is matched to .350 Legend ballistics and makes distance compensation more direct in the field. For the hunter, that means less guesswork when the shot stretches beyond a simple point-blank hold and a faster transition from spotting game to taking a measured shot.

The 3-9x magnification range is a natural fit for straight-wall cartridge rifles. At 3x, the scope remains quick to acquire in tighter cover or on moving game at shorter distances. At 9x, it gives enough image scale for more deliberate shot placement across fields, cutovers, or open lanes. The 40.00 mm objective and fully multicoated lenses support a bright, clear view, while the generous 93.00-105.60 mm eye relief helps maintain comfortable head position and adds a margin of safety on lightweight hunting rifles.

The Duplex reticle sits in the second focal plane, so its visual size stays familiar throughout the zoom range. That makes it easy to pick up quickly against dark timber, brush, or mixed backgrounds. Capped turrets protect the settings during transport and rough field use, while the fixed parallax setup keeps operation simple and uncluttered. With its 346.00 g weight, waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof construction, this scope is designed for practical hunting use rather than bench-only shooting.

About Leupold

Leupold & Volpel was founded in 1907 in Portland, Oregon, by Fred Leupold and Adam Volpel. Today, Leupold & Stevens, Inc. is headquartered in Beaverton, Oregon and remains family-owned. The company focuses on sport optics for hunting, shooting, and outdoor use, with product lines that include riflescopes, red dot sights, binoculars, spotting scopes, rangefinders, and thermal optics.

Leupold has longstanding roots in riflescope design. It introduced its first riflescope, the Plainsman, in 1947, and later introduced the Duplex reticle in 1962, a design that became widely established in hunting optics. Alongside hunting-focused VX-series scopes, the company also produces Mark-series riflescopes for tactical applications. That background gives Leupold a strong reputation for practical optical design, durable construction, and field-oriented features that suit real hunting and shooting conditions.
