I changed out the Leupy 2-7 on my .458 Model 70 with a new Freedom in 2-7 which Leupold sent to replace the repair. (Fogged scope)
Had to change the front mount as the Freedom tube is too short for a standard action (A massive sales reducing design defect in my opinion) but the optics are far superior to the older Vari X 11 , cross hairs are thicker and better suited to a heavier caliber rifle and so far have handled the recoil well, being easy to track when sighting the scope and holding zero to this point.
Like the scope, hate the short scope tube.
