jake, just got an email from leupold that my scope is being shipped back to me. dont know if they repaired or replaced it. dont know much about the new freedom line of scopes. have to wait and see.

How do you think it has changed?

Midway has VX2s on sale for $210.

Most of my scopes are VX2 with one VX3I

I think you'll be happy with the Freedom if you get a chance to try one out. From what Leupold has said, they took the glass out of the VX-3 (pre- VX-3i) and are using it in the Freedoms. This is supposed to be a big improvement over the VX-1 and a slight improvement of the VX-2. To me, it makes sense that they would consolidate options at the lower end, as they have really been focusing on the higher end scopes. I'm absolutely in love with the Mark 5 and the VX-6HD, but I'll have to save for a while before pulling the trigger on one of those scopes.
