The VX-Freedom scopes are unfortunately over priced in Canada, however that applies to all Leupold scopes sold in Canada. I like Leupold scopes because of there weight and eye relief which is very good. One problem that I had with VX-Freedom 2-7x33 mm when trying to mount it on a long action Ruger m77 was that the mounting length was to short when using the Ruger rings, however it worked when I used Leupold rings, since the Leupold rings are narrower, since they only use two screws vis the Ruger rings which use four screws.
