Can't wait until the new Freedoms arrive this spring!
Maybe because the price range of the freedom line is half that of a Japanese made bushnell. If I wanted to pay the same price as a leupold freedom i'd be getting non Japanese scope if purchased from bushnell. The only scopes currently made in Japan by them are their elite tactical series.
Like they aren't even in the same ballpark.
Ya I suppose I could get an older elite 3500. But bushnell has discontinued the entire elite line and only now makes the elite tactical series.

I guess Leupold changed there mind about the VX Freedom rimfire scopes, since when I posted this article originally they where listed as no longer available on there web site.
