The Leupold VX-Freedom 3-9×40 Straight-Wall Duplex is a riflescope purpose-built for straight-wall states (Leupold part no. 188527). It gives a fast, precise aiming solution with three pre-calibrated dials for .350 Legend, .450 Bushmaster and .400 Legend. Straight-wall cartridges bring dramatic bullet drop at moderate distances, and this scope was built to solve it. It is ready for .350 Legend (165 gr) out of the box, with the .450 Bushmaster (250 gr) and .400 Legend (210 gr) dials also included. It is built on Leupold’s Advanced Optical System and is designed, machined and assembled in the USA. Range, dial, hold dead on.
