Leupold Rifleman Scope Opinions

Ragman · Apr 10, 2019

I have the opportunity to buy this scope from a fellow at work...$200 for scope, bases and rings. I'm quite sure this is an excellent price for the package. My intentions are to put it on my T/C Triumph muzzleloader. My question is if this scope is adequate for this gun? Thanks.

Is this it?
Do the bases fit your T/C?
Did he register it under his name, or is it new enough he didn’t have to?

If yes, it’s probably an OK deal, but not a great deal. JMO
I’ve had several VX 2s over the years and just had my first failure. As I understand it, the Rifleman replaced the VX 2 or II, series.

Ragman, thinking it over, I believe the Rifleman line is Leupold’s cheapest. I’m thinking the Feedom line is the same as the older VX II. Sorry for my confusion.

Thats my understanding as well..

Rifleman replaces VXI

Freedom replaces VXII

I dont own a rifleman or a freedom.. but I have owned a few VXII's and have found them to be very good optics at their price point.. certainly as good or better than what anyone else is offering for the same $$$.

The Rifleman was around when the VX1-2 were and from my understanding, it has fully coated glass and friction ring adjustments as opposed to the fully multi-coated glass and click adjustments on the VX1-2 and now the VX-Freedom which replaced VX2 quality at the VX1 price.

I guess it really depends of what kind of bases and rings you’re getting with it, but you can get a brand new VX-Freedom for that price.

I have 3 of the rifleman scopes and they have served the purpose from Maine to Montana. For the price you are getting I do not believe you will be sorry for picking it up.

Thanks everybody. I think I'll buy it. Even if I don't put it on the muzzleloader it's always good to have an extra scope handy!
