Overview
The Leupold VX-Freedom 3-9x40 Rimfire MOA is the lightweight premium choice for a .22 LR hunting or plinking rifle. Its 3-9x magnification covers a broad rimfire range without the bulk of a competition scope, while the 40mm objective and 12.2-ounce weight keep the rifle easy to carry and balance.
Leupold pairs the Rimfire MOA second-focal-plane reticle with a fixed 60-yard focus. The reticle stays the same apparent size as magnification changes, and the 1/4 MOA finger-click adjustments support a conventional rimfire zero. The scope uses a 1-inch tube, measures 12.49 inches, and provides 4.2 to 3.7 inches of eye relief across its magnification range.
Choose this model when low weight and a traditional 3-9x sight picture matter more than adjustable parallax. The fixed 60-yard focus removes a control from the setup, but shooters who need to focus at changing distances for precision stages should choose a scope with an adjustable objective or side focus instead.
