The Leupold VX-Freedom 4-12x40mm Hunt-Plex riflescope (part no. 185336) reaches further than the standard 3-9x VX-Freedom for hunters who need mid- to long-range capability without stepping up to a heavier precision optic. Leupold pairs a 3:1 zoom ratio with a 40mm objective and a fixed 150-yard parallax setting that simplifies setup at typical hunting distances. The Hunt-Plex reticle keeps aiming simple on the second focal plane, and the scope carries full waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof ratings. Among mid-range gun scopes for open-country and field-edge hunting, the VX-Freedom 4-12x extends the reach of the standard line.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is parallax fixed instead of adjustable? A fixed 150-yard setting keeps the scope simple to use, matched to the distances most hunters actually shoot at with this magnification range.

How does 4-12x compare to the standard 3-9x VX-Freedom? The higher top end resolves more detail at distance, suited to open-country or field-edge shots beyond typical timber ranges.
