Thread: Two Leupold Questions, CDS, Freedom vs. VX3i

flame coming but I feel that for the money the entry level freedom, vx2 and even into the VX3 ranges they are over priced. You are paying for the name and the lifetime warranty.

What power range and lense size are you looking at? Gives us an idea of budget for alternatives.
my go to alternative is out of production now but there are a number of alteratives bands etc.

manufactures always bring out new updates but the basics stay, glass, coatings and mechanics.

A very important point on price, they are a USA made brand, not coming out of some slave labour sweatshop in Asia.

Any company that exports production to take advantage of somewhere with cheap labour should be taxed back whatever surplus they made from not employing locals.

Was very happy that when my second-hand MK4 got send in for repair they overhauled the internals and illumination, but kept the parts that were fine like turrets and scope body, recycle instead of replacement, much more sustainable buisness model!
