The Leupold VX-Freedom 4-12×40 CDS Duplex riflescope is a 1-inch hunting scope with a custom dial system (Leupold part no. 180600). Leupold gives it a 3:1 zoom that tops out at 12x, so it reaches further than the 3-9x version. The Duplex reticle sits in the second focal plane, and the CDS dial accepts a custom turret made to match your load. A lightweight aluminum housing, scratch-resistant lenses and a lockable eyepiece round out the features. It fits a hunter who wants a bit more power for longer shots.

Key Specifications

• Magnification is a 4-12x variable range, a 3:1 zoom that reaches farther than a 3-9x scope.
• The objective lens is 40mm, which sets how much light the scope gathers and how much clearance it needs over the rifle.
• The main tube is 1 inch, so it mounts in 1 inch rings.
• The reticle is the Duplex, the classic hunting design with heavy outer posts and a fine center.
• The reticle sits in the second focal plane, so it keeps the same apparent size as you change power.
• Each turret click moves the point of impact 1/4 MOA, a fine step for precise zeroing and corrections.
• Total travel is 80 MOA of elevation and 80 MOA of windage, enough range to reach out and still stay on paper.
• Eye relief is 3.7 to 4.9 inches across the power range, which keeps a safe, comfortable distance from the eyepiece.
• The scope weighs 13.1 ounces, a figure that matters on a rifle you carry.
• The elevation turret is the Custom Dial System, which accepts a dial made for your ballistics so you can range, dial and aim.
