Leupold Freedom Rimfire scope changes

I like Leupold. All good with their products BUT I also like my Zeiss rimfire scope and it was $500 Cdn new. and yet I don't ever see them advertised anywhere.
I mention the Zeiss in case Leupold quits with their rimfire line.

Why must you hurt us like this? Haha. Good to know there are other options out there.

Fortunately, Leupold is not dropping their rimfire scopes any time soon, so folks can continue to enjoy them.

Tagged to keep an eye out. Been looking for leupold scopes but stock of the stuff I want seems to be out so some of these 2020 models will be great.

These will be perfect.
180592 VX-Freedom 2-7x33 (1 inch) Hunt-Plex
181307 VX-Freedom 3-9x40 (1 inch) Hunt-Plex
 
Get a Bushnell for same the price. you will have better optics and service in case something fails.
 
Where does the Leupold Group manufacture the "Freedom" series again?

Lenses, tubes, adjustments,.....

Scopes are all made in the usa. Glass is from Asia, non specific origins. Since only so many glass manufacturers exist it changes depending on price and availability. Many of their products come from China, but their scopes are still American made.

FYI....Bushnell Elite series are made in Japan.

And I do agree, the Leupolds work perfectly when space is a concern.

Okay....likely the case. So does almost everyone else.
Not sure what that has to do with my comment about the Elite series. (Sorry to derail this further KGL)

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.

Bushnell Elite 3500 series is in the same price range as the Leupold Freedom line and is made in Japan.
 
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.
