Leupold VX-Freedom 3-9x40 Muzzleloader Scope UltimateSlam Reticle

The Leupold VX-Freedom 3-9x40 Muzzleloader delivers precision optics specifically engineered for single-shot hunting applications. This matte black riflescope combines proven magnification range with a specialized reticle system optimized for muzzleloader trajectories. Built on Leupold's reputation for field-tested reliability, it transforms challenging shots into confident harvests.

What Makes This Different

Unlike standard hunting scopes, this model features the UltimateSlam reticle designed exclusively for muzzleloader ballistics. The reticle provides holdover points calibrated for typical muzzleloader velocities and bullet drops at extended ranges. The 3-9x magnification range offers versatility from close timber shots to open field opportunities, while the 40mm objective lens maximizes light transmission during critical dawn and dusk hunting periods.

Key Features

• UltimateSlam reticle with ballistic compensation for muzzleloader trajectories
• 3-9x variable magnification with fast-focus eyepiece
• 40mm objective lens for enhanced light gathering capability
• 1-inch main tube construction for reliable tracking and durability
• Matte black finish reduces glare and maintains concealment
• Waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof construction
• Compatible with standard 1-inch scope rings and mounts

Field performance centers on consistent accuracy across varying conditions. The scope maintains zero through temperature fluctuations and recoil cycles typical of muzzleloader use. Hunters report reliable performance in wet weather conditions, with clear optics maintained throughout extended hunting seasons. The magnification range handles shots from 50 yards in dense cover to 200+ yard opportunities across open terrain.
