Special Features
- Tri-MOA reticle uses MOA hash marks on the vertical and horizontal stadia to give you clear reference points for holdover and wind holds without cluttering the sight picture.
- CDS elevation turret allows you to install a custom dial matched to your specific load and conditions so you can dial to range markings instead of reading standard MOA numbers.
- Side focus parallax adjustment lets you fine tune focus and parallax for different distances, which improves precision on small targets at longer ranges.
- Leupold’s optical system and coatings enhance contrast and manage glare, helping you pick animals or targets out of brush and shadow during prime low light periods.
- Lightweight 30mm construction provides additional adjustment range over 1 inch tubes while keeping overall scope weight reasonable for hunting rifles.
- Finger-adjustable, resettable turrets with clear markings help you make and track small corrections without tools when confirming zero or adjusting for wind.
Practical Benefits
- The Leupold VX-Freedom 4-12x40 CDS Tri-MOA (175079) fits medium and long range hunting rifles where shots may range from closer timber edges to open country distances.
- The 4-12x magnification band works well for dialing down to find game quickly, then zooming in to refine your aiming point for precise shot placement.
- The Tri-MOA reticle and CDS turret combination lets you choose between dialing elevation with a custom yardage-marked dial or holding using MOA hash marks for flexible, real world use.
- Side focus adjustment and generous eye relief make the scope comfortable to use across field positions while maintaining a sharp target image at varied ranges.
