Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Rimfires Leupold American Rimfire Scope

Anybody using one of these care to briefly review its pros and cons? Interested in what owners think after spending some time with one.

Steaming pieces of fhuqking schit,on their BEST days.

Hint..............

You mean the Freedom rimfire? They have a couple fixed focus models and one adjustable objective in that line

Buddy has the 3-9x fixed and says its ok.

I bought the adj obj model. It has a cylinder type eyepiece and does not look good on a reg rifle. Also there was an odd distortion around outer edge. Not sure what that is. Looked at a reg freedom 3-9x and it had it too....but to leaser amount.

Mine dialed in easy. Didnt wander. And the adj obj seemed close enough.

Usable but not as good as hoped

My CZ 455 now wears my old VX1 2-7x.
The Freedom 3-9x EFR is back in its box.

Steaming pieces of fhuqking schit,on their BEST days.

Hint..............

I've got a Freedom 3-9 fixed, and I think I can see better thru a Simmons .22 Mag, if that tells you anything. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, for any reason. I took it off and put the Simmons back on the rifle.

Wow. Phugging Simmons beats the Leupy.

After Leupold insulted all the members of this forum who had issues with Leupold scopes, I can no longer support Leupold.

PaulBurnedHard,

Reupold mechanics are what fhuqking suck,but your VERY Tender Feelings are HILARIOUS! Congratulations?!?

Bless your heart for Crying.

Hint.

LAUGHING!.............

Thanks for the replies. Think I’ll steer clear and get another Weaver RV9.

Do it this way. What's your budget? What's the application? What is the platform?

Hint..............

Ruger American Rimfire, stainless synthetic, 17HMR.

Small game hunting and target shooting. 125 yards max.

$200-$300

SWFA 6x MQ...SampleList Style. Hint.



You get to adjust parallax to the 10yd line,something that will REALLY hold zero,track amazingly and will open windows of opportunity that you never even knew existed. Throw a set of their 30mm Lows in the cart,order a Bob(DIP) 25MOA 1913 extended rail and you are there.



Throw the fhuqking Trigger Lever off a fhuqking cliff and you just got a "custom" trigger in the bitch.




Re-spring if you want,while you are there.




NOBODY is tough enough,to not to shoot said platform wayyyyyyyyyyy beyond the 125yd line. I zero at 125yds,which is .2" high at 50yds. .6" high at 100yds and the reticle will take it to the 500yd line,in Today's atmosphere. CCI 17's at 2630fps and the assigned sight height.

Thank me later.

Hint.................

How do you find time to shoot all your rifles and still be on the Fire at all hours pissing and moaning? Give us all a break and get lost , jerk!

Snatch,

I am no fun to keep pace with. Congratulations?!?

Pardon Facts and Physics so reliably upsetting your VERY Tender Feelings,as you do your Melting Snowflake Routine,which is assuredly no fhuqking "act"...you "lucky" kchunt.

Bless your hesrtfor Crying.

Hint.

Laughing!..............

In fairness however,you'll end up wanting a stock. Hint.

Boyds does it best,for the jingle.



Just saying.



Pardon my shooting it all and then some.

Bless your heart for Whining though!

Hint.

LAUGHING!.................

That really lines everything up. Think I’ll give it a whirl. Thanks

I use a Burris Fullfield II 3-9X on my .17HMR. It has the Ballistic Plex reticle, which works perfectly out to 300 yards, where the HMR has run out of gas anyway. They usually run $200 or thereabouts. I've hit prairie dogs with the first shot at 250 yards, using that reticle. It sorta fits in your price range, though they don't come in "white". It would match the stock, of course.

Got an older FF II on a rifle I don’t shoot anymore. Had not considered it for this application. May try it out on the RAR. Thanks Rats. Wish we had prairie dogs and the rabbits the guys out west have so much fun hunting. Here it’s ground hogs and crows. Ground hogs aren’t as plentiful as years past.

Was waiting for the SWFA Christmas special to get a SS 6X. Stick’s heads up on the “demo” good info I’m going to use. Other instructions provided look easy enough too. I’m no gunsmith but think I can manage them.

Thinking about what to put on this rifle I was focused on small, light, rimfire scopes. Really like my Weaver RV9 and planned on another. Now I think I’ll try some of these ideas first.

Ring3,

I dupe’d this build in 22lr. Replaced an old rem 511 standby. Only difference was the 22 got the Burris Signature rings instead of swfa lows. Listen to Stick, the 6x MQ is the biggie here.
