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.

I’m not a huge fan of the entry level Leuoolds. While they may be very reliable, I think the light gathering capability is better in other options in the same price range. I also rarely adjust the power in my variable scopes. I basically leave it in 4x 95% if the time for the kind of hunting I typically do.

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
The older I get, the better I was. I also forget my password and have to have Len reset it for me
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.
Recommend anything other than that vx3 3-9-50 that’s better, in the same price range?
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!
I’ll give you $24 for yours though, if you cover the shipping.
I give the boy the best advise and what does he do. Second guess me.
