The Eagle Has Landed - Custom Shop Leupold VX-Freedom 3-9x33mm

[Matt247365]

Just a quick teaser for you guys

It's already dark here plus I don't have the time tonight to do a review but here's one picture for now.

I will reveal the identity of this little beauty tomorrow with more pics and info.

Matt

Edit: update with pics below.



And the reveal ... Been waiting 3 months for this to arrive!



Scope weighs 12.6oz.



Glass is nice and clear. I will take some pics of the reticle through the scope this weekend during the day.

It's already getting dark here again... ugh.



Turrets are re-settable and have zero stops.



I think I am going to like it. Time will tell

OH MAN... DO SHARE!

3-9 EFR?...Have to take a guess!

 

[Centercut]

Vortex Strike Eagle ?

 

[Oregun]

Oh man the suspense... I'd guess the 3-9 EFR with mil or fire-dot reticle

 

[Peskådot671]

???

 

[Matt247365]

All good guesses! Nomo and Oregun are closest so far. VERY close but not exact.

Today after work I should have enough daylight to take some decent pictures and reveal this scope.

Till then, keep the guesses coming. First person to correctly identify it will receive a +1 from me

If it were ME I would get the TRI-MOA reticle for the 3-9x33 EFR LEUPOLD.

I looked at that reticle. Pretty cool but I didn't go with it.

I should add that this isn't a blind guessing game; the answer is right here on this site. A quick look around and you'll find it

It would be too obvious... if it were that easy!

I'm picky too 

3 months ago I ordered a Leupold VX-Freedom 3-9x33mm from the custom shop.

It finally shipped on Tuesday. Should have it next week. Can't wait to try it on my .22 Taipan Short!



Had it built with a mil dot reticle and patrol dials which are exposed.

Leupold's site lists this scope as having a 64 MOA adjustment range.

 

[Coldair]

I would be interested to get your feedback on that custom shop Leupold because it is something I was considering sending my old EFR 3-9x33 AO duplex scopes in at least for reticle change that I posted above for my preference. What was the total cost to buy the new one?

TIA

Scope with the 2 custom mods (mil dot reticle and Patrol dials) was 500 shipped and they did not charge my card until it did actually ship.

Sharp setup, looks like it means business. 

 

[Houli]

Very nice Matt, just wish this configuration was a standard order. Sweet combination, no doubt it will spoil you!

Cheers

P.S. What's the minimum parallax?

Thanks, Nutcracker. I'm having a lot of fun with this setup!

Thanks, Houli. I too wish this was standard order. The 3 month wait was brutal!

Minimum focus is really close. I can read text in my kitchen sitting here in my office. I'd say 5 yards or less.

Cheers
