You can pick only one scope,
1) 4-12x40. Medium range quality. Leupolds entry level scope
2) 3.5x10x50. Leupolds mid level scope.
I already know larke’s answer. He gonna say the 50mm
The 4.5-14 is a vx freedom
The 3.5-10 is a vx3i

Like Cap, I'm a 50 mm guy.....and, with all the flat land here in the Delta, a variable 6 x 24 is my power preference.
bigger is better in spite of what women say
Having owned both my answer would be the same as the Captains.
Now this endorsement I trust!!!!Quote:

Hank, I would like a little more magnification than the 3x9x40 i have now.
You’ve seen those eastern shore corn and bean fields.... there are plenty of 400-500 yard shots.
I’m leaning towards the vx3 even though it’s $100 more than the 4-12
Where I hunt the 4x12 would be more than I need, also like the better Leupold.
I agree with CD
Hey sky,
Was the clarity in low light substantially different between the two?
For me, that’s as important as the zoom.
I'm pretty much with CD. I had a trainload of Leupold 3X9's and had one mounted on quite a few of my long guns. I seldom switched off of 4X for the type hunting I usually did.
You get approximately 10 more minutes of clear shooting light. For its worth it. I've killed a lot of critters in that first and last minute or two of light.
Sold! Thank you.Quote:

I have 3 of the VX-3I’s with the CDS and really like them, I would look at a Burris Fullfield II before I would look at the Freedom for the money.
Trav, it’s $299 for the freedom vs $399 for the vx3.
One of The MAIN problems is i cannot decide whether I want 14x, or potentially better clarity.
Sky gave me my answer, pretty sure.
Other side item is I am buying two, not one. So it’s a $200 difference.
The 3 VX-3I’s I bought this year were $539 each so it sounds like you are getting a good deal.
I think you should forget either one of them and buy the scope I have for sale. ;-)
Too late! Ordered two of them today!Quote:

I give the boy the best advise and what does he do. Second guess me.
